Great! :-)

Do an 'rpm -qa | grep gcc' and see if gcc-c++ shows up. You'll need that to compile C++. If not apt-get gcc-c++ should fix that problem.

See now thats just wierd! But i think thats just a path problem.  Once you have the compiler installed try 'rpm --rebuild ./mol-kmods-0.9.66-1.src.rpm'  [Make sure when u 'su' its 'su -' to retain the paths.]

Remember you shouldn't have to compile them yourself. IE the ./configure, make, route. RPM rebuild should take care all that for you. Eventually it should just come down to:
	rpm --rebuild mol-0.9.66-1.src.rpm
	rpm --rebuild mol-kmods-0.9.66-1.src.rpm
	rpm -Uvh /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/mol*
And it should be installed ready for u to configure it.  Which is slightly differnet if your doing OSX but thats another thread. :-)
