Ahem (cough, cough).  Builds cleanly from the source tarball. With all
due respect to Sean R's work on source rpm's, I've found little use
for them. I've been lost in the web of pointless dependencies too many

and from a later message:

:It seems, RedHat has inconsistencies...

That's an EXTREMELY polite way of putting it.
