On my Centos4 system: $ rpm -q bash bash-3.0-19.2 bash is version 3.0 and it's from base or dag/dries. Everything works as expected (though you might want to install bash-completion). Why are you trying to compile it? Can't you just download the src rpm and rpmbuild --rebuild that (possibly first unpacking the rpm and adding any wanted patches)? Cheers, MaZe.
