Well, I downloaded a source rpm that I need to install on my RH 8.0 system. The source rpm is: cyrus-sasl-2.1.15.src.rpm The problem is that when I go to build the RPM, it fails on a dependency for: db3-devel. Well, the flipside is that, RH 8.0 comes with db4 and db4-devel So my question is, is there a way to customize this source rpm to use the db4-devel requirement through editing a spec file? Tarballed
