HTH,

 Thank you, Thomas.  Yes, this might help -- if I can figure out how to
install those files manually.  If I can't do it through rpm, and they are
not supposed to be compiled, how do I do it?  Is it just a matter of moving
them to the correct directories?

Hi

when you install an rpm, the rpm will check for
dependencies on your system that are installed, but
will not check inside the rpm to see if the files are
there to be installed as a module dependency.

To solve this problem
type:

mc

browse to the rpm file. select it and press F3 and
then manually install the files.

HTH,

Thomas Adam

[newbie] Dependencies included in rpm package?

2001-03-05 Thread DRX 

 I have been trying to install XFree86-4.0.1-28mdk.i586.rpm, using the
