*"fails to install" not "ails to install".

I get this on F12 x64:

rpm -i damnvid-1.5-1.amd64.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
    libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE)(64bit) is needed by damnvid-1.5-1.amd64

I installed also glibc.i686 0:2.11.1-1. 

ll /lib/glibc.so.6 gives:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 2010-04-09 22:39 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.11.1.so

Yeah, that's pretty much what I got when I tried it in Fedora.
Do you know anything about proper RPM packaging?

"Do you know anything about proper RPM packaging?"

Unfortunately, no.
