Hi Douglas, Thanks for your email; makes perfect sense to me. Uninstalled all the el5 packages and these were the ones removed:
vic-2.8ucl1.4.0-0.1.20080725svn.el5 agvcr-2.2.1-1.el5 AccessGrid-3.1-2.el5 python-agversion-3.1-1.el5 python-ucl-common-1.0-5.20070615cvs.el5 VPCScreen-0.2-1.el5 mtrace-5.2-2.el5 rat-4.4.01-0.1.20080731svn.el5 pyOpenSSL_AG-0.5.1-3.20040828cvs.el5 python-bajjer-0.2.5-2.el5 There is one, however, which I didn't remove because of dependency issues. And that is gsl-1.10-10.el5. These are the dependency issues: error: Failed dependencies: libgsl.so.0()(64bit) is needed by (installed) bogofilter-1.1.7-1.fc8.x86_64 libgsl.so.0()(64bit) is needed by (installed) snd-motif-9.5-1.fc8.ccrma.x86_64 libgslcblas.so.0()(64bit) is needed by (installed) bogofilter-1.1.7-1.fc8.x86_64 libgslcblas.so.0()(64bit) is needed by (installed) snd-motif-9.5-1.fc8.ccrma.x86_64 Now, my question is, where do I get the fc8 rpms from?

Thanks for spotting that, I wasn't consistent in the revision number between RHEL5 and Fedora for the python-agversion RPM (although I'm pretty certain I was for the other RPMs). I think I might release a new python-agversion-3.1-1 RPM to solve the inconsistency The AG *.el5.* RPMs were built against python 2.4 and it appears the Fedora 8 system python (2.5) doesn't like python-agversion-3.0.2-9.el5. To solve it: rpm -e --nodeps python-agversion then install the Fedora 8 python-agversion-3.0.2 > Someone else mentioned > about conflicting python versions that might be causing the problem.

Fedora 7, 8 & 9 use Python 2.5. The python based AccessGrid RPMs available for Fedora 7, 8 & 9 were built with Python 2.5, so they don't work with Python 2.4. I would suggest removing all *.el5.* RPMs and installing the corresponding *.fc8.* RPM. Your python2.4 install doesn't seem to be able to find the RHEL5 AG python2.4 based RPMS now anyway. The python based AccessGrid RPMs shouldn't care which version of wxPython is used as long as it is > 2.6. But the AccessGrid RPM has a dependency on VPCScreen which in turn has a dependency on wxGTK, which does care if it is wxGTK 2.6 or 2.8. Fedora 8's VPCScreen depends on wxGTK 2.8 as does RHEL5's VPCScreen. From memory I think Fedora Core 6's VPCScreen depends on wxGTK 2.6.
