I have not been doing rpm --build --rebuild...   I will attempt this when I get home.  As for libcaca there is a delightful project for it;

All the screencaps are from the VideoLan player which I have just installed to tinker with as well.  I'm using Suse 9, and several resources I have consulted tell me that rpmbuild is an effective tool, but I shall definetely attempt the --build version
