The primary problem that I found is that the YD 2.3 CD doesn't install RPM
Header and Build among other things.  After you get that running you find
that there are 5 functions (aclocal, thru makeinfo) that are reported
missing (instead of "found") so you have to get them installed.  FYI
makeinfo is in texinfo.  I am now at the point that everything runs for
either the rpm or tar file until the bitter end when I get a "gcc OK? no"
message followed by "install or config problem - Compiler cannot create
executables". =20

Have reinstalled gcc.  No joy.  Anyone have any ideas??
