Out of all your blather you can't, not even once, post a transcript of the build process to those that already wasted time trying to assist you? Let me sum this up: You: "Wah. It's broken." Us: "How is it broken? What do you see that makes you think that it is not working as it should be?" You: "Wah. It's broken, I tell you." Us: "Can you please be more specific." (Repeats a few times) You: "Wah. I won't bother helping you help me. Wah. I'm going elsewhere. Wah. Wah. Wah." Is that about right? You waste the time of multiple people crying about something you won't elaborate on being broken; you blame the distro; and you cry and leave. Here's a hint. If a package doesn't contain a "centos" tag in the package name it's not been modified; ie. it's the same as the upstream package. As this is the case it is an almost guaranteed certainty that your build environment between Redhat and CentOS isn't quite as identical as you believe it to be. I'm fairly certain this is going to turn out to be a meatware problem; but since you refuse to post any details at all we'll never know. That and picking up your toys and going home, of course.
