        If I new anything about making a rpm file I'm sure what you sent 
would make sense. I see your loading things into the /usr/ directory. 
But beyound that it's Greek to me. I think Mandrake has taken huge 
liberties with rpm. And their lib fill is quite differnet than Red Hat. 
This has caused Xlog to not run on Red Hat.

        For a linux user such as me I can compile a tarball and load an 
rpm. If it involves writing an rpm or modifying a tarball it's out of my 
hands.
