So you installed a package from the 7.2 release? The tuxracer package can be built using only packages distributed with the current release. Why would you uninstall the version included with this release, so that you could install a package that was dropped well over a year ago? My suggestion at this point would be to remove all the rawhide and mismatched packages you've installed, and then install using those packages from your install media, or released as updates. 'rpm -qa --last' will give you a list of packages in install order, so you can try to remove them all, and revert to a supportable install. It's simple enough, using redhat-config-packages, to select the development group(s), and be happily on your way. > I'm still being prevented from installing the needed SDL-devel package: > > # rpmbuild --rebuild tuxracer-0.61-19.src.rpm > Installing tuxracer-0.61-19.src.rpm > error: Failed build dependencies: > SDL-devel is needed by tuxracer-0.61-19 So, install SDL-devel, and it's dependencies, all available on your install media.
