I'm terribly sorry but I've forgotten. What's the address to get these? I
tried building my own rpm from the "selected cvs snapshot" but I kept
getting this:

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.64164 (%build)

I get this error regardless of the CFLAGS and whether or not I select an
arch for it so that's not it.
Right now, I'm running a brand new freshly installed RedHat 7.3 with the
only change being that made sure the symlink "/usr/bin/autoconf" was
pointing atthe newer autoconf.
I'd like to try a latest and greatest, but not having a lot of luck on my
own.

Thanks,
Jonathan
