   Hi there,   
      
   after a 'make install' to some DESTDIR, I took the created 'usr' dir,   
   chown-ed everything to root:root and verified that the rights are correct.   
      
   Then I created a tar.gz archive out of this 'usr' dir.   
      
   From this I took alien to convert to rpm:   
   alien --target=`arch` -r gnu-mailutils-3.21.tar.gz   
      
      
   All worked, but when trying to install the rpm I get   
      
   [1040 root@mga9x64-lb1 /tmp]# rpm -i gnu-mailutils-3.21-2.x86_64.rpm   
   error: Failed dependencies:   
           devel(libgnutls(64bit)) is needed by gnu-mailutils-3.21-2.x86_64   
           devel(libgsasl(64bit)) is needed by gnu-mailutils-3.21-2.x86_64   
           devel(libltdl(64bit)) is needed by gnu-mailutils-3.21-2.x86_64

           libgsasl.so.7(LIBGSASL_1.1)(64bit) is needed by gnu-   
   mailutils-3.21-2.x86_64   
      
      
   This is strange because './configure' said

   The 3 devel-s withing the 'rpm -i' error alert were installed as devel,   
   and the 2 gsasl-s, not sure, but maybe they are runtime requirements.   
      
   Any idea what's still missing here?   
      
   Thank you!
