Re: Xephyr dependencies stop progress...
Thanks to Paul Klapperich's suggestion, I was able to use 'alien' to create an RPM file out of the DEB file. Now I am back in dependency hell. Xephyr depends on error: Failed dependencies: libXau.so.6 is needed by xserver-xephyr-1.1.1-21 libXdmcp.so.6 is needed by xserver-xephyr-1.1.1-21 libfontenc.so.1 is needed by xserver-xephyr-1.1.1-21 even after installing libXdmcp-1.0.1 That's the fun of life. Anyway, would be fine to make a little investigation in this direction, prior to install. Almost all apps have manuals and depend lists in readme or similar. I recall myself, when I installed tones of libs, just to have not so useful program, that I removed few days later. Some sys- tems have ports and all info in Makefile and pkg-descr. Not linux, you know. Debian gives it, when you try to find app in repository. I want to say that you could automate the process, for the sake of your nervs. Zoran ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Yum is akin to Debian's aptitude and will resolve dependencies and download packages automagically. I really don't feel you should be using RHE or Fedora without Yum configured. Once Yum is setup properly--use Google or your Redhat, Redhat support, or some of the Redhat community guides that I'm sure exist--Vladislav provided the yum commandline that will install xephyr and all required dependencies in his post to your message titled. I'm not sure which Redhat your using, so I don't feel confident giving you specific instructions myself--I've never used Redhat on a regular basis. If you really don't want to setup yum, you'll have to manually track down the required libraries on a site like rpmfinder.net. To start you off, here's libXau[1]. Besure you grab the right one for your distribution. Repeat with the next library. Yum would have done this for you.

Re: Xephyr dependencies stop progress...
Paul (Klapperich) Sorry for the confusion. My statement BTW, the message indicates Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-56 should have been BTW, the _error_ message _below_ indicates Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-56. The version had not been mentioned in any prior post. Paul (Sehorne) Paul Klapperich wrote: On 3/21/07, *Paul F.

I agree, but my installation of yum is not working either (because of dependencies). I tried to install xephyr using rpm hoping for success, wishful thinking I know. I guess my time would be better spent getting yum working. Right now when I execute yum I am greeted with the following: (BTW, the message indicates Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-56) Sorry, I missed that because you keep creating new posts instead of just continuing a single thread. Neither of the threads I read indicated a version. Is that RHEL 3.2, or an old Redhat 3.2? Regardless, even RHEL 3.2 is pretty old--that might give you some problems right there. But like I said, I don't really know Redhat... yum error msg follows== There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named yum Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.2.3 (#1, Sep 26 2006, 18:12:26) [GCC 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-56)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please send this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. = end of yum error msg A quick search revealed this post[1], which looks similar to your situation. The reply says to look at questions 7 and 10 from the YUM faq[2]. (10 is how to search the yum mailing list).
