Where might I find an rpm for Centos?

RPMForge for EL4, centos.karan.org for EL5.

Most of centos.karan.org for EL5 is in the testing repo AFAIK.

And nowhere in centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS or centos.karan.org/el5/misc/testing/i386/RPMS am I finding linphone....

google found me... http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/x86_64/RPMS/linphone-0.12.2-7.x86...

but not the i386 version. /me shrugs

let me investigate, I recall there was a lib issue at the time.

What would it take to get this compiled for i386? If someone would give me a few pointers, I would give it a shot. Or just the working rpm already???

Install mock, grab the SRPM, and rebuild.

Try a Fedora mirror.

Is mock a tool for compiling/running x64 on i386 systems?

It's a tool for building RPMs from SRPMs.

Oh, I 'bothered' to look at the man page for mock and see it is for making a chroot rpm. DO I really need it for linphone? A client program run as a user, not as root?

No, mock is to *build* RPMs inside a chroot jail, not to build RPMs of programs that *run* inside a chroot jail.

mock is useful if you have a 64-bit machine and you want to build 32-bit RPMs. By creating a pure 32-bit environment inside a chroot you can be sure that the binaries you are buiding inside that environment will not be accidentally linked against the 64-bit libraries that exist on your main environment. If you have a 32-bit OS running and you want to build a 32-bit RPM, you don't have to bother with mock.

By the way, I have rebuilt several Fedora Core 8, 9 and even 10/development SRPMs in CentOS 5 with a fair rate of success. As long as they are not core components (such as kernel, glibc, perl, python) I believe you might be successful with your rebuild. Of course, sometimes you will have to adjust the specfile to reflect names that have changed in a new version of Fedora to match the ones used in Fedora Core 6/CentOS 5, but other than that it's not to hard to make it build and work. In any case, I suggest you first test your RPM in a test machine, do not install it directly on a production machine, because if you break it you got to keep the pieces.

Good luck with your rebuild! Filipe

You can thank Thunderbird for whatever you see in the formating. I make a reasonable effort to clip and clean. But I don't know what others see. And also I had received comments that I was not putting enough clear space between my imbedded comments to be readable. So you get caught either way.

If Thunderbird is sending HTML mail, you can stop that: Account Settings > Composition & Addressing > Uncheck "Compose messages in HTML". I switched from Evolution to Thunderbird for my mail email account, a week or two ago.
