That's "tcllib", not "tcl". tcllib will need tcl, but I don't think that tcl needs tcllib. It certainly doesn't on RH7.3 (I have both expect and tcl installed, but not tcllib). > tcl is needed by tcllib-1.3-88 > > i am no expert in package managers but i am reading this as if the > package that i am installing requires itself to be installed, but A simple misreading, that's all. You tried to installed "tcllib", which needs "tcl" (look for tcl-8.3.5-88.i386.rpm on your RH9.0 CDs).
