:-)  IRIX, or at least SGI, has a unique way of doing a great number of
things...

If you run

	/usr/bin/ls -1 /usr/lib/libc.so.1 | /path/to/your/rpm/find-provides

what does it output?  I would suspect the line shown above,
libc.so.1(sgi1.0).  If that's what it outputs, then that's what needs to
be in the rpmrc file.

Alternately, why not build a "virtual package", which has been discussed
several times on this list in the past, and is the recommended way to go
if you're using RPM 3.x or 4.x.

That's definitely not right.

>  libc.so.1.sgi1.0

That would only be correct if the `find-provides' and `find-requires'
scripts were still using the old-style separator between the library SO
name and the IVERSION.  Running the command shown above should tell you.
