I can't say that gnustep is available for YDL 4.1; I just don't know. Here's how you can find out: # yum search "*gnustep*" Loading "installonlyn" plugin Searching Packages: Setting up repositories core [1/3] extras [2/3] updates [3/3] Reading repository metadata in from local files gnustep-make.ppc 1.12.0-5.fc5 extras Matched from: gnustep-make GNUstep makefile package http://www.gnustep.org/ # Of course, if you are told by yum that gnustep is available within the YDL 4.1 repositories then that is what you use. Of course, the next step is obvious; just do: # yum install "*gnustep*" Yum will go and sort out all the required dependencies for you and install everything into where it should go. Generally, Warren, yum is used for installing nearly everything (as it is better at sorting and getting dependencies faster than humans). rpm is better to remove a package or application and just those dependencies related to that one package you wish removed. ========== Life only demands from you the strength that you possess.
