It seems that livna are also working on packaging it. You could also get the 1.2.0 version from http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ which appears to have a simpler build process. -- Mark Knoop
Thanks, I see it now in Livna's wishlist. The FreshRPMs solution is merely a link to the sourceforge solution. The situation looks bad- I'd have to install a mirad of other things to get it working. I'll email the good folks at livnaand ask if they need a beta tester. Thanks, Mark. Dotan Cohen http://song-lirics.com http://lahes.com
