This URL

http://repository.ccux-linux.de/pub/ccux/SRPMS.stable/nedit-5.5-1.src.rpm

makes an rpm. 

The source code included in this rpm is also identical to that down-loadable at nedits web site


$md5sum *
48cb3dce52d44988f3a4d7c6f47b6bbe  nedit-5.5-src.tar.bz2
48cb3dce52d44988f3a4d7c6f47b6bbe  nedit-5.5-src.tar.bz2.nedit.org

Regards

Owen

PS 

Now linked my debian box with Motif based version (A Little overriding required) as this may be the route cause of my errors. I shall let you know in a week or two if this cures this issue with 5.4/5.5 incompatibilities.
