	HI Jerry,
I got it to build using the autogen.sh and it works just fine on
rpmbuild but when I try to build it on mock it errors out on 'You must
have 'glib' installed". I added glib to the BR and still the same. I
even tried adding it to the requires as well and it still failed. Even
with glib in both requires and buildrequires it still fails. I'm stuck
there now. I looked for specific version requests but could not find any.
Thanks,
	Randy
