Has anybody ever gotten this thing to compile?  What platform did you use?

I did, with all dependencies, on my e-smith 5.5 box:

anaconda-7.0.1-163es.src.rpm:

bzip2-devel-1.0.1-3.i386.rpm,  e2fsprogs-1.19-4.i386.rpm,  e2fsprogs-devel-1.19-4.i386.rpm,  kudzu-devel-0.98.10-1.i386.rpm,  pciutils-devel-2.1.8-8.i386.rpm,  pump-devel-0.8.11-1.i386.rpm, and  python-devel-1.5.2-30.i386.rpm

However, if you are attempting the same thing I am (custom iso creation:  http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/contrib/e-smith-custom-iso.html), there seems to still be a 'oddity' I am having a hard time working around.

executing this part of the above howto for iso creation:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --hdlist ~/cd1/RedHat/base/hdlist ~/cd1 (replacing the path for the 5.5 iso location of hdlist, and whatever path used for your iso contents copy instead of ~/cd1) in my case this line was /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --hdlist ~/cd1/e-smith/base/hdlist ~/cd1  which produces "error opening directory /root/cd1/Redhat/RPMS: Not a directory".  This even though my iso copy was in /root/cd1 and my hdlist file was located at /root/cd1/e-smith/base/hdlist ???

Anyway, the src compile seemed to work, but executing the commands to create the hdlist and then the custom iso is not successfull and I do not know why.  It would be COOL is someone with knowlege of the above howto (http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/contrib/e-smith-custom-iso.html),  could edit and post a copy for use with SME 5.5 or even 5.1.2 :-)

I got the SRC for 5.1.2 to compile.  What was required was a RedHat 7.0 "Everything" box.
