Thanks for the tip Jon. I was able to build boost RPM on RHEL 5.3.

In the past, I have been successful building boost library found in rawhide for RHEL 5.x distributions. However, I have not been susccessful building boost 1.39 using boost-1.39.0-2.fc12.src.rpm. I saw a message earlier this month that stated that boost-1.39.0-3.fc12.src.rpm had been released and wanted to see if that version would address the problems I encountered with boost-1.39.0-2.fc12.src.rpm. However, when installing the boost-1.39.0-3.fc12.src.rpm source RPM, I get the following errors: # rpm -ivh boost-1.39.0-3.fc12.src.rpm 1:boost warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root ########################################### [100%] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/boost-bitset.patch;4a646479: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch I am wondering if the source RPM is OK or not.

Blatanly ripping off Mr. Gallagher's post of a few days back: To extract sources from an SRPM: rpm2cpio <src.rpm> | cpio --extract (Do this in its own directory) To enable the old checksum (for building RHEL packages): rpmbuild -bs --define _source_filedigest_algorithm=1 <spec> This will recreate the SRPM using an MD5 sum instead of a SHA1 sum. -- in your fear, speak only peace in your fear, seek only love -d. bowie -- fedora-devel-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-devel-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">fedora-devel-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list</a> </blockquote></div>
