I have run into a regular problem with "segmentation error" when I try and intall applications with an rpm. I can't see anything in this script which is giving me a clue as to what the problem might be. Because I have had this happen on nuerous occasions with different applications I am wondering whether the issue is a Fedora one (or more likely me) rather than a difficulty with the rpm itself.
Any pointers on what might be going on would be helpful.
Thanks.

The script , as far as it goes, is as follows:
