Hi, I tried to build rpm on my Suse 9.1 box and here is what I got: % rpmbuild -bb xorg-x11.spec error: Unknown option ? in verify_permissions(:-:) error: Unknown option ? in verify_permissions(:-:) error: Failed build dependencies: libnscd is needed by xorg-x11-6.8.2-0.1 libzio is needed by xorg-x11-6.8.2-0.1 ghostscript-mini is needed by xorg-x11-6.8.2-0.1 I can't find these three packages for libnscd libzio and ghostscript-mini anywhere. Does anyone know where to get it? thanks, Osho On Friday 11 February 2005 3:00 am, Stefan Dirsch wrote:

Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to found libnscd and libzio rpms for 9.1 online. I changed ghostscript-mini to ghostscript. And, now it is compiling.. Osho
