Item (4) change line 228 tools/Makefile.in pkgbindir = @RPMCONFIGDIR@ to pkgbindir = $(libdir)/rpm Item (5) change make -C => ${MAKE} -C line 562 beecrypt/Makefile.in line 590 rpmio/Makefile.in
Item (5) change make -C => ${MAKE} -C line 403 tests/Makefile.in Item 2 under Solaris specific should have read: Relative paths are not permitted not Relative paths are now permitted Item 4 use AC_SEARCH_LIBS(aiowrite,rt aio,[],[],[]) The aio* functions are in libaio on Solaris6
