  • Building of BC 5.3 on RH 6.1 failed in step 7. Apparently I had /mnt/cdrom already mounted. Picked up from step 8...
  • Building of BC 5.2 on RH 8.0 got along farther - to step 3.7! - but failed due to lack of uudecode. Installed and proceeding

BC 5.2 on RH 8.0

Building BC 5.3 on RH 8.0 failed in step 3 with the following in build_ncurses.log:

Turns out uudecode is part of sharutils-4.2.1-12 which I downloaded and installed. This should be added to the required package list.
