Well, rpm -i will give you no visual feedback.  Also, you installed
the Source RPM, which implies that you probably have the code in
/usr/src/redhat.

For the binary packages, you should:
	rpm -ivh g-wrap-1.1.9-1.i386.rpm
	rpm -ivh g-wrap-devel-1.1.9-1.i386.rpm

Why not just set your umask before you "make install" as root?  No
matter -- just make sure that all the g-wrap files are readable.

Are you sure you have the most-recent CVS downloaded?

Hrm.  I remember having this, but I'm absolutely sure that this was
fixed in the most recent CVS code.
