Oops, I meant xapian requires 1.1, but DAG only has 1.0.

Here's the versions of all the direct dependencies that RHEL4 provides:

autoconf-2.59
automake-1.9.2
libtool-1.5.6
python-devel-2.3.4
php-devel-4.3.9
tcl-devel-8.4.7

Using the RPMs for mono 1.2.4 from 
http://www.go-mono.com/download-stable/rhel-4-i386/ I can build the 
-csharp package. (As mono isn't in RHEL4 anyway, that's not 
unreasonable, just less convenient than DAG).

Adding your patch for the python Makefile allows the python RPM to be built.

I've added the remaining two RPMs to my home directory.

Cheers,
Tim.
