Several comments

1) It looks like it can't access the GPP. I am behind a proxy but I have set http_proxy.

2) I have manually downloaded rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz but when I attempt to run ./configure it dies.

Is there somewhere specific that I can put rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz so ltib can find it?

Also, on Debian I have been unable to install the rpm-build package. Can someone tell me how to do that?

Here's what Aptitude says:

debianls:/home/ls# aptitude install rpm-build
