I will example with a non-root user called "builder" as root: yum groupinstall "Development Tools" useradd builder passwd builder (give builder a password) su - builder as builder: Edit a file called .rpmmacros as builder from builder's home directory and add the line: %_topdir /home/builder/rpmbuild then do: mkdir ~/rpmbuild Then start from above with: Download the source package for Fedora (you would do everything else ... however you might need to install several xxxxx-devel packages on your system to meet the build or install requirements and get a good build or install. I have built this just now on CentOS-4 and it seems to build and install. You are welcome to use it: http://centos.hughesjr.com/testing/libtiff-3.8.2-2/ I don't plan to maintain these on updates, unless you ask me to rebuild them. You should be able to install them on any machines as the root user (from a directory containing the the RPMS): yum localinstall libtiff-3.8.2-2.i386.rpm or yum localinstall libtiff-3.8.2-2.i386.rpm libtiff-devel-3.8.2-2.i386.rpm (if you need the devel package) Thanks, Johnny Hughes
