Still using CentOS 5.3 on Main box here and fedora 10 on laptop (as the kernel supports wireless rf broadband usb cdma cmotech modems now for internet).

Had to build chirp-0.1.9b12.tar.gz, as with Fedora 10 a few days ago, as the ¨reposted¨beta tar doesn't seem to have made any difference.

Create tools folder in /tmp/chirp-0.1.9b12/chirp-0.1.9b12 (as doesn't exist after extract)

Download 3 raw (left menu link) files

into /tmp/chirp-0.1.9b12/chirp-0.1.9b12/tools

Download rpttool (raw file link on left menu))

Working good on CentOS 5.3 with this procedure.
