Thanks, this nearly seemed to get there up until I ran rpm -ba .. etc
openldap one it's last couple of lines were:

+ mv -f /tmp/slurpd.8 /tmp/openldap-1.2.7-root/usr/man/man8/slurpd.8
+ chmod og-rwx /tmp/openldap-1.2.7-root/etc/ldap/slapd.conf
chmod: /tmp/openldap-1.2.7-root/etc/ldap/slapd.conf: No such file or directory
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55547 (%install)

and then mysql is ok but php4 ends with:

+ tar xfy /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/gd-1.7.3.tar.bz2 -C 
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.0b3
tar: invalid option -- y
Try `tar --help' for more information.
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.89201 (%prep)


quite soon after starting.
