Notice you have dependencies in order to rebuild Gaim source RPM package. To install missing dependencies:
[tchung@localhost gaim]$ sudo yum install libao-devel mozilla-nss-devel Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [install: mozilla-nss-devel 37:1.4.1-18.i386] [install: libao-devel 0.8.3-5.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Running test transaction: Test transaction complete, Success! libao-devel 100 % done 1/2 mozilla-nss-devel 100 % done 2/2 Installed: mozilla-nss-devel 37:1.4.1-18.i386 libao-devel 0.8.3-5.i386 Transaction(s) Complete
Now you should able to rebuild Gaim source RPM package without dependency problem for Fedora Core 1.
