You can try it on C6, but it may take some tweaking in the spec file. > So where is miredo for F19? > Not at: > > https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Fedora/source/SRPMS/m/ Look under: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Everything/source/SRPMS/m/ And you'll need to 'yum install rpm-build' if you don't have it, along with development tools. If you can find an archive with one that worked on fedora 13 it would have a better chance of rebuilding on Centos 6. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
