Hmm. I am getting old. I downloaded from the rpm site (Not RedHat's
site) and then installed. the install failed because of popt. and
rpm-python, and maybe rpm-devel. I certaintly think I would have picked
up rpmbuild (or removed it).
That being said, you may be right. However, the directory I downloaded
my files to that day doesn't have rpmbuild in it. I'm puzzled right now.
Unless rpm.org did not have that dependency that day.
Wait, I remember someone doing a -R on rpm
