That explains it. Can rpmlint be made to check for this? Missing build dependencies are hard to find. It's usually best to do a scratch build. I doubt rpmlint could reliably detect them. I wrote a script called auto-buildrequires (it's in Fedora) which can in some circumstances determine what BRs are needed for a package: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/auto-buildrequires/ It tends to overestimate the actual BRs though, and it doesn't take into account of the "core" packages which are always installed.
