This *may* be the easiest, however, this may not be the best place to get the
packages since this is simply a mirror of the redhat-5.0 directory at Red Hat
which does not include the updates we've applied here at the Lab, and besides
that, paging through the list of files can be tedious (I did a search on glibc
just to see what it gave back...ugh!).
To make sure you get the latest rpm package as is included in the Fermi Red
Hat Linux v5.0.2 (frozen as of August 31), point your browser here:
ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/current/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
and use the browser search function to look for what you want.
To get the rpm sources go here:
ftp://linux/linux/current/SRPMS/
You can either ftp or NFS mount as Don described in the previous message.

Three minor bugs you will need to be aware of when building RPMs on systems
distributed with rpm-2.5.2-1, i.e., the Fermi distribution:
1) the directory /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 does not exist - create it
2) the directory /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch does not exist - create it
3) the path to gzip in the /usr/lib/rpmrc file is wrong! In the fresh
distribution it sets it to /usr/bin/gzip. This should be /bin/gzip. This is
on line 11 of the rpmrc file.
Cheers,
Dan
