Usually the rpm package will know what its dependencies are (check with "rpm -qR"). In the case of Sun's rpm files, they do not "require" libstdc++, so rpm (the program) can't warn about missing dependencies. If you have the rpmdb-redhat package installed, you can ask rpm which package provides a given dependency: (on RH7.3) $ rpm --redhatprovides libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.16 Hope this helps, Phil
