Re: [LI] PCQ giving Sources instead of RPMs

[Moinak Ghosh <moinakg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

   Couple of tips -
   
   configure --help
   
   gives a description of various config options available to allow 
   for customisation of the installation.
   
   The file "config.log" contains detailed messages telling what the
   configure script did and can help in diagnosing problems.
   
Regards,
Moinak.
