In regard to: Which program options are included with RPM build, Dean Scott...: >Many programs can be built with various options such as specific >database support etc. Is there any way to find out what configuration >options were built into an RPM when it was created?

There really isn't any way to know. One thing you can sometimes do is use the `--requires' flag to see what a package requires. That may tip you off that it was built with support for XYZ, if it requires libxyz.so.4 For packages that I build, I often include the configure and make output as a part of the %doc for the package, so I can easily figure out what I might have done for some package I built a long time ago. That obviously only works for packages that I control (built), though.
