Faced the cross-dependency problem when trying to install 1.9.113 on
CentOS4-i386.
After fooling around for sometime I downloaded and installed "smart"
tool from
http://smartpm.org. Then dumped freedesktop and redhat menu RPMS from "desktop
integration" folder to "RPMS" folder and ran "smart install *". That did the
job nicely
