Thanks Santiago, I got helps from someone in our university to convert it to a rpm. The installation was smooth -- "100%" ... "installed". Although "rpm -qa smartlist" gives "smartlist-3.15-21" but I cannot find where it is installed. I suppose it is the binaries (everything in ~smartlist/.bin) got installed. Could you give more hints as how to piece things together with rpm install? Thanks, Zhiliang On Wed, 19 Aug 2009, Santiago Vila wrote:

Plus a small executable binary having five different names: multigram, flist, senddigest, idhash and choplist (hardlinked to each other). So yes, it needs to be compiled. The main problem is the convoluted build system, which is mostly shared with (or inherited from) procmail.
One thing that might work is to take the Debian package and convert it into an rpm using alien. In case it helps, here it is:

Try rpm -ql smartlist Not that I use rpm myself, but google says that's the equivalent of "dpkg -L". Documentation is at /usr/share/doc/smartlist, and all the paths have been modified to reflect what is used in the Debian package (for example, the home directory for the lists is /var/list).
