Stuff from tarballs is *never* considered by rpm (and any software using rpm to resolve dependencies, like yum). The fact that having the InterBase rpm installed doesn't help makes me think it's one of those infamous "vendor rpm"'s which really contain a tarball that's extracted someplace from %post, and thus it's real contents never end up in rpmdb. Do 'rpm -qp --provides <interbase rpm>' to see if that's the case (rpm -qpl <package> will tell you the truth about the rpm's quality of lack of thereof as well. - Panu - > > would this help? when i do the following (with the older/7.1 > InterBaseC_LI-V7.1.0-1.i386.rpm installed), > > ldconfig -v > > then i get back: > > libgds.so.0 -> libgds.so.0 What ldconfig says is totally irrelevant to rpm depsolving. - Panu -
