Building 2.1 Issues

[Gregory Engel]

I've hit a bit of a wall trying to compile Python 2.1 on a Linux 6.2 box.  I first run:

rpm --rebuild python2-2.1-5.src.rpm

and get back:

Installing python2-2.1-5.src.rpm
error: failed build dependencies:
        expat-devel >= 1.1-3tummy is needed by python2-2.1-5
        db1-devel   is needed by python2-2.1-5

OK.  So I run:

rpm -q expat

and get back:

package expat is not installed

So I run:

rpm --rebuild expat-1.1-3tummy.src.rpm

The last few lines read:

...
Executing(--clean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97776
+ umask 022
+ cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
+ rm -rf expat
+ exit 0

Looks OK.  So I run:

ls -al /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/expat*

And get:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        93246 Jun 28 11:57 /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/expat-1.1-3tummy.i386.rpm

So I run:

rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/expat-1.1-3tummy.i386.rpm
rpm -q expat

And get:

expat-1.1-3tummy

Looks good.  So I run:

rpm --rebuild python2-2.1-5.src.rpm

and STILL get back:

Installing python2-2.1-5.src.rpm
error: failed build dependencies:
        expat-devel >= 1.1-3tummy is needed by python2-2.1-5
        db1-devel   is needed by python2-2.1-5

What am I missing?  Any suggestions on where to look would be greatly appreciated.
