I do have RHish VMs, but that does not help the motivation :)

Was indeed resolved.

The error is

[  122s] Processing files: libNX_FS6-3.5.0.17-0
[  122s] error: File not found by glob: /var/tmp/nx-libs-3.5.0.17-build/usr/lib64/nx/libNX_FS.so.6*

This is because some files were not properly installed, and that in turn is
because of some yet undiscovered problem in nx-libs's Makefiles that only
triggers on older systems. I have found some problems that exist between
bash-3.x and bash-4.x (that's where RH6 differs from F18), but apparently
not all.
