Johnny: I got the SRPM and I tried to rebuild seahorse, but I got a
bunch of build dependencies (see below). Are all of those compatible
with CentOS 5 .3 (32 bit)? If so, I'll get them and try it again.
Also, I am not trying to build as root (which I know is dangerous),
but am getting those warnings user and group mockbuild does not exist
- using root.  Does that mean it is trying to build as root, which is
dangerous? If so, how do I avoid that danger?    TIA!    Lanny
