Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards Amin Adatia (amin) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xscreensaver-4.21-4 How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info:
why do you want that particular version? you can rebuild using rpmbuild --rebuild xscreensaver-4.21-4.src.rpm
I need actually any version equal or higher than 4.18.5 since that is a minimum requirement for Oracle Application Server.
that version comes with fc4 already built. yum install xscreensaver-base (and optionally) yum install xscreensaver-extras xscreensaver-gl-extras should give you what you want

Where can the following be obtained ... pdksh-5.2.14-30 and ofcourse the xscreensaver -- which the rpmbuild --rebuild did not seem to do anything
Notice that's looking for a RHEL xscreensaver, Fedora's version is newer at 4.21. This is not a support channel, please the resources linked from here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/
But I can not even get the 4.21 version installed on FC4 even starting from the src.rpm The other xscreensaver packages install fine. So what is the problem with the xscreensaver itself that it does not find the appropriate internals? And a webwide search for pdksh results in zero hits.
Closing as WORKSFORME.
