Now the problem is that our RPM support doesn't expect to find files installed in usr/bin and share. At some point I decided it was better to use the .tar.xz distribution but that uses version of glibc and libpng that don't match either of the centos distributions we carry. So I am back to RPMs. Cheers, Pedro.
