I think you are misunderstanding something. When you compile a package, say from source, you will end up with BOTH, the package and the "-devel" package, which would be the headers and files needed to compile other packages. If you install from source via configure, make, checkinstall, the resulting rpm package includes both the rpm"binary" PLUS the "devel" in the one package. You only really need to split them if you do NOT compile any programs, as if you do not self compile any programs, these just take up disk space and are never used. HTH
Ok I did kind of misunderstood! So basically all I have to do is go into the spec file and split them. I will give this a shot. Thanks for putting some clarity on the issue. The package that I am trying to make a rpm of (Gimp 1.3.18) I do want the devel files. I do compile plug-ins for Gimp.
