You're a great help. Let's get this baby to build correctly ;-)

I tried to fix this one. Seems to work.

I don't understand this. 'DESTDIR=$HOME/src make distcheck' works fine
for me, which means the above file must be present. Do you have the
file? and when you do 'make dist' is it included in the tarball?

I did fix another po-file issue, so you could try updating anyway.

Same as above, distcheck works for me, which again means the file must
be present. Can you check if you have it?

hmm, you reported that earlier and then I saw it too. But I fixed that
(yesterday I believe) and at least now it works for me. I'm beginning to
think you may have some older versions lying around ...

Same as the others, distcheck works for me. Please check if you have
this file.

Ok, great. So, the question is, do you have old versions lying around --
perhaps in the rpm build dir, I don't know -- or does anyone else see
these problems too?

I really would like to get this working. Being able to build rpms is a
very good feature to have.
