Source rpms are without architectural assumptions, they must look up the target arch and build for it. Binary rpms are built for 386, 586, 686, etc. You're building from source, are you building binary rpms for distribution? if so then you have the arch consideration. Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (610)796-5838 >>> gerry@xxxxxxxxxxxx 05/18/05 02:21PM >>> I said in a earlier message that I was attempting to build gcc and family so that tbird and firefox will install under 7.3. In trying to build from source I noticed that my architecture is recognized as i686 which is okay for me but if this exercise works wouldn't it better to have the rpms as i386? I think so but haven't a clue how to do it. Any hints/tips will be appreciated. If this works perhaps the builds could be added to the repository. -- G.
