Creating a binary Mozart RPM without contributions

[Torsten Anders]

Dear all,

we are in the process of installing Mozart on a Rocks cluster (8 x 11  
cores :). Rocks is based on Centos which is a re-compile of RedHat  
Enterprise. We need a binary Mozart RPM, because that is the format  
used for the automatic installation on all nodes of the cluster --  
which is performed whenever the cluster boots.

Unfortunately, it does not work when we simply compile the RPM  
sources with

   # rpmbuild --rebuild mozart-1.3.2.20060615-4.src.rpm

The installation fails, because the required version of gdbm is  
missing (Mozart depends on 1.8.3 and Rocks comes only with  
gdbm-1.8.0-24). We don't need gdbm anyway, but the default rpmbuild  
includes it.

So, my question is: how can we create an RPM which leaves out some  
Mozart contributions, in particular gdbm. We need something like  
the ./configure options --disable-contrib and friends. However, we  
need it for rpmbuild (or some alternative method for building an RPM).

Thank you!

Best
Torsten
