Then there is a mishmash of things going on here - I upgraded to  
2.6.18 out of testing because there were packages from atrpms fc5  
that blocked on that - I unfortunately don't remember exactly which  
ones, when I get home today I will look at the logs and see what I  
can determine.

Granted, I don't know much about RPMs, and how they are packaged at  
atrpms, but the spec file didn't include one, and the code failed to  
compile..... unless, of course, there is a different spec file  
unpacked based on the fedora version you are using.   On this, I  
would have to bow to your greater experience.

At any rate, if there is interest, I would be happy to contribute a  
few minutes of my time and provide some 2.6.18 builds.

Thanks,
/-Will
