Hi all,

I am running into strangeness here...
I want to install netscape 4.75. As per indication, I removed the old
netscape stuff (meaning the communicator 4.73, and also netscape-common
4.73).

Now I am ready to install 4.75 and this happens:

[root@internet paul]# rpm -iv netscape-common-4.75-7mdk.i586.rpm 
error: failed dependencies:
        XFree86 >= 4.0 is needed by netscape-common-4.75-7mdk
        rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 is needed by
netscape-common-4.75-7mdk

I do not have, nor want (for now) Xfree 4. And what on earth does it
complain about wanting RPMlib less than 3.0.3-1 (I have 3.0.4. running)??

Would I be better off getting the source-rpms and compile them myself?

If anyone knows, please let me know...

Paul
