Thanks again for your help.
I'm now trying to compile/build rpms on two different Fedora 8 machines:
a 64-bit system Intel Core 2 Duo box, and
a Dell 600M Inspiron laptop w/ a Pentium M processor
I've tried your suggestion of including "--without-gnome" in the
"configure" section of the spec file on the 64-bit machine.
The rpm compilation/build proceeds further and ends with the
output appended below.
On the laptop, no "--without-gnome" directive was used. However,
on the rpm build the results were similar to those for the
64-bit machine (see second section below).
################ RPM build error on 64-bit machine ###################
RPM build errors:

File not found by glob: /var/tmp/gretl-1.7.4-mp-root/usr/lib/gretl*/*

I'm not an rpm expert, but it appears your .spec file must be
wrong. RPM is apparently complaining about the fact that the
libgretl headers (e.g. /usr/include/adf_kpss.h) are being
installed but not packaged. That's to be expected, in a sense:
the headers are installed by a normal "make install", but one
would not expect them to be included in a binary .rpm, only in the
associated "devel" .rpm.
I suggest either (a) taking a closer look at the RPM
documentation, or (b) ignoring RPM and just installing gretl
independently of that mechanism. If you're looking to create an
RPM that you can redistribute then (a) will be required,
otherwise (b) will probably save you grief.
