Could you not install from sources get poppler.?.?.?.src.rpm then rpmbuild --rebuild poppler.?.?.?.src.rpm that should build you a centos rpm Martin On 12/04/2009 11:26 AM, Robert P. J. Day wrote:
actually, this is technically about installing fedora packages on centos 5.4 but, obviously, the same issues apply. and i asked about this on the centos list but i'd like the fedora perspective as well. the short version -- someone running centos 5.4 needs a fairly new version of poppler-utils for "pdftohtml". the current version of that package is 0.5.4, and there is (AFAICT) no updated version. that package is currently up at version 0.12: http://poppler.freedesktop.org/. for this person's software to work, his centos box *must* have a newer version of poppler-utils than what is currently available for centos 5.4. apparently, the problem was solved by (yeesh) installing a newer version package in the form of a fedora rpm. how the heck does *that* work? wouldn't that make a mess of the package history? i imagine i would need, what, --nodeps and --ignorearch? but is there a better way to do this? i simply don't see a newer centos/rhel package, which would be the obvious solution. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
