Has anyone managed to install "Alien" (the .deb to .rpm package
converter) in Fedora 14?.
I remember that back at the time when I ran FC7, I was able to install
it. However, I tried nowadays and it complains about some Perl modules
missing.

I tried following the directions here

If anyeone can try and give me a hand, I´d really appreciate it.

The reason for this? I want to create a RPM for jEdit (www.jedit.org)
from the provided .deb

Thanks in advance.

PS: I apologize for not providing the detailed error message but I
don´t have my Linux system with me at this moment.
