[NBLUG/talk] rpm question

BuildRequires: gd-devel >= 1.8.4

2.0.15-1 is greater than or equal to 1.8.4 so it builds fine... rpm knows
where the development files are located.  All it requires is that a
package greater than or equal to 1.8.4 be installed.

I may give it a shot and see if it works for me.
