Hello,
If you're trying to build an rpm specific for RH, I can't help you, but if you
just want to make gcompris work, it's possible to use the rpm with a workaround
(provided you've installed the assetml rpms already). You just need a soft link
for the versions of libcrypto and libssl. It's all explained here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124499
The workaround's in the attachment. It works for SuSE 8.2, and apparently Jim
Rich reported it to work on RH9.
It would be good to buid a specific binary for RH, though, so I hope I'm not
discouraging your efforts by providing a quick and dirty way, instead of
supporting your laudable efforts to create something that would be useful to
everyone.
Wouldn't it be nice if RH supported gcompris out of the box?
