Well that or the lack of automatic dependency resolution in rpm...
If you're keen on manually tracking down each dependency and manually resolving these issues, then more power to you. However, I propose a slightly more "intelligent" (I use the word lightly with regard to any RPM-based system) system: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/en/ On 7/7/06, Anna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

This may mean the freetds package you have is not compatible with FC4. Try finding a different one that says it will work with FC4 and go with that. I used google (with search string: FC4 freetds rpm) to find this page: http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/freetds/ looks like this might be a good rpm for you?: http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/fc4/i386/RPMS.dries/freetds-0.63-1.2.fc4.rf.i386.rpm I'll leave the rest to you. Let us know how it goes. - Anna _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
