Actually, the dnd program compiles fine. Also it installs ok and it produces
a quite neat rpm package. Unfortunately, It gives me a segmentation fault when
I try to run it.
Also, there seems to be a little problem with dnd-devel. This is what I get
just after the install stage (i.e. the %post stage of the rpm spec file):

Finding provides...
Finding requires...
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/var/tmp/dnd-0.5.1-root/usr/lib/libdndmd.so.0.0.0'
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/var/tmp/dnd-0.5.1-root/usr/lib/libdndws.so.0.0.0'

This happens because these lib files are installed with chmod 644 instead of
755.

Still, I cannot find those files. How are they meant to be installed?

Actually GNOME is not my GUI. KDE is mine, but I installed every GNOME
bit I should have installed. Did I probably miss something? If yes,
should that not be mentioned in the spec file (and probably add another
Require entry in the spec?)
Could you explain, please?

this is exactly what I do when I get the segfault...

PS. Should we use pgp signed mail? Or would that be unnecessary?
    What do you people think?
