Compiling Netatalk 2.0.3

[Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D.]

A simple suggestion:

* Download the source rpm for netatalk-1.6.4 from YDL.  
* Unpack it:
	rpm -ivh netatalk-1.6.4-2.1.src.rpm

which will place the spec and source files under

	/usr/src/yellowdog

* read the spec file for some insight.

* build the binary rpms

	rpmbuild -bb netatalk.spec

* examine
	/usr/src/yellowdog/BUILD/netatalk-1.6.4/config.log

to explicitly see the configuation arguments used to build
netatalk-1.6.4.

* use what you learned as a starting point
