CPPFLAGS are set to find NSPR & NSS headers; /path/to/lua contains a build of lua-5.1.5 with an additional shared library liblua.so target (that's what -llua in LDFLAGS is for). All the other flags ensure I use my 5.1.5 lua build. > This still produces a build with the following rpmlib's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry, it's hard for me to say. All I can say for sure is that I just built gcc from the source tree without all this RPM stuff. :-) Andrew.
