thank you for your interest. I'm using your spec files as a starting 
point.

I think herein lies the difference. your libobjc is found without 
problems by the linker since it is in a standard system place. Since I 
have an older compiler revision I _need_ the libobjc version put in a 
non-default place. Thus I think you don't even notice your 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set. It might also be that newer rpm version have 
different defaults. I don't know. MkLinux R2 will surely use rpm 4.0, it 
is already a big upgrade from version 3.0 we were currently using and 
rpm 4.1 is not compatible with the 3.0 database and cannot read it, so 
it makes an upgrade impossible.

cheers,
