The package you're trying to install does not depend on "/usr/lib/libodbc.so" the file, it depends on "libodbc.so" the resource. unixODBC-2.2.2-3.i386.rpm does not provide any such resource: $ rpm -qp --provides unixODBC-2.2.2-3.i386.rpm | grep libodbc.so libodbc.so.1 Note the ".1"; while being a small difference, it is not the exact resource which j2re requires, so RPM complains. >Anyone else? I DO NOT want to do an "rpm --nodeps" for the install. >This is going to get used throughout our enterprise. Any reason you've built your own package, rather than use the one from Sun? There are shared libraries which link against libodbc.so, but the RPM doesn't appear to have any complex dependencies. Cheers, Phil
