Honestly, there are a lot of things in that spec that aren't quite right, so I'm not sure what specifically is causing the failure. I recently gave a presentation at the Red Hat Summit on making good RPM packages, and I think it may be helpful to you. You can find the presentation (and a handout with fully documented example spec files) here: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/Summit2008/ In addition, I've reworked your spec file (and desktop file) into something that works (and would probably pass review for inclusion into Fedora). I would highly recommend that you compare it to your original spec file. If you have any questions about the new spec file, please feel free to drop me an email (or reply here). New SRPM: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/crrcsim/crrcsim-0.9.9-2.fc10.src.rpm New SPEC: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/crrcsim/crrcsim.spec New Desktop File: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/crrcsim/CRRCsim.desktop Note: This game/simulator doesn't actually run on my rawhide system, it does a wonderful job of corrupting the X session with rainbow color noise and locking up my laptop, but I don't think that is a fault of the packaging, probably a Mesa/Intel/Xorg/Rawhide bug. ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
