Answering my own question, after looking deeply into the Wiki: <http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeCenterRPM> If you see an error like "error: Failed dependencies: /usr/bin/mysqld_safe is needed by squeezecenter-7.0.1-1.noarch", it means that you do not already have the package containing mysqld installed. You must first install the appropriate package for your Linux distro (mysql-server for Red Hat, mysql for SUSE, possibly different for others). So I needed mysql-server too. RPM installation now goes through without complaint. Possibly if I had found that Wiki page first, I would have tried the Yum install directly rather than downloading the RPM file and then discovering the dependencies. carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
