As such there has been a minor API change in what the gcc environment in question is accepting. If you want to know just which, step through all intermediate phases; the date on the binary file that IS in our archive tells you when to stop stepping forward through point releases and updates ifd-egate-0.05-17.src.rpm addreses this, builds on Centos 5.3 current, and you may diff as you wish [herrold at centos-5 ifd-gate]$ rpm -qip \ /home/herrold/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ifd-egate-0.05-17.x86_64.rpm Name : ifd-egate Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 0.05 Vendor: orc Release : 17 Build Date: Thu 30 Apr 2009 12:34:00 PM EDT Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: centos-5.first.lan Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: ifd-egate-0.05-17.src.rpm Size : 44909 License: BSD/LGPL Signature : (none) URL : http://secure.netroedge.com/~phil/egate/ Summary : Axalto Egate SmartCard device driver for PCSC-lite Description : The Axalto Egate device driver enables PCSC-lite to communicate with Axalto Egate cards, which CoolKey is based off of.

Is there a point to this pedantry? -- Russ herrold
