I'm getting closer... I can run

rpm -bb XFree86.spec

It runs for a while, but ends with:

--------------------------

../../../h5/minihwc/linhwc.c:64:22: X11/Xlib.h: No such file
or directory
../../../h5/minihwc/linhwc.c:65:36:
X11/extensions/xf86dga.h: No such file or directory
../../../h5/minihwc/linhwc.c:66:38:
X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [linhwc.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/XFree86-4.0.3/Glide3/build-5/h5/minihwc'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/XFree86-4.0.3/Glide3/build-5/h5'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12088 (%build)

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12088 (%build)

---------------------------------

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks again,

Doug (going to sleep now...)
