AFAIK this message is popping up because when you are trying to install the k3d rpm it is just querying the rpmdb to check whether you have libsigc installed or not. Now you have two options.. The second one I feel is easier...and will maintain your system in a nice "rpmey" fashion 1)Compile k3d from source and the ./configure script of that will pick up the libsig in your pc. You may have to pass the LDFLAGS=-L/usr/*** option mentioned by Sandip. To do this you may also use the *.spec file in the k3d source tree if it is there.So you can do rpmbuild -ta k3d***.tar.gz. Not too sure about this though whether the spec file is there in the k3d source tree??? 2) OK just for ya I compiled the libsig from source and then installed. using ./configure && make && make install. After this I did updatedb and then ran locate libsig on my system. Surprisingly it DID NOT find anything like that the "user" dir dunno why. Maybe you have played around with the makefile or passed some other options to it during make install???? [EMAIL PROTECTED] i386]# locate user | grep libsig /home/dey/Download/libsigc++-1.2.5/doc/powerusers The above is the ONLY output I got. After doing this method of install I then did an rpmbuild -ta on the libsig source tar.gz. Created the RPM and then did an "rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPM/i386/libsigc++-1.2.5-1.i386.rpm" The RPM installed without any problems . So go ahead follow the RPM route and then try and install k3d from RPM everything should be fine. > > 2.
