Glad to hear it. Thank you for your feedback.

I used ktrace/kdump and realized that bad things did occure when
libXp.so was not found. Then I used google with "libxp.so"
keyword. Second link was to the fedoracore forum where the problem
(since FC3) and the solution was showed. Then it wasn't too hard to
find the needed rpm at MASTER_SITE_FEDORA_LINUX. ;-)

Actually, yes, the patch I sent you was not very clean. First of all I
tried to solve the problem to you, and the patch was not intended to
go to CVS without cleaning.

I cleaned it and was waiting for your feedback to send my cleaned
version of the patch to Alexander. Now I'm doing it.

Mag, your patch is good. Hence, you may not use "if defined
PACKAGE_BUILDING" because it is already at bsd.linux-rpm.mk.

Alexander, here is the patch I propose to commit.

Yea, now I understand what did you mean by "(FC3 and 4)".
