It works for most packages, however, for me the compile of firefox fails on an x86_64 machine when it comes time to build the i386 version. I did a lot of googling and found several people who reported the same compile time failure, and in the end i just ended up finding an i386 machine to try to do the compile. That worked fine. In case people who know "how to" are reading, here's the error that ends the compile. As I said, I've seen plenty of people posting about this, but there's no obvious fix for me--some people suggest patches to the libraries that are being used, but I don't see clear consensus on the "right" approach. home/pauljohn/LinuxDownloads/redhat/BUILD/mozilla/config/nsinstall -R -m 644 nsIObserverService.idl nsIObserver.idl nsIProperties.idl nsISimpleEnumerator.idl
