Usually, rpm will tell you which package is required. Occassionally a 3rd party developer will package an rpm that refers to a specific file (libsomething_or_other.so.2), but this is pretty rare. In those cases, a quick Google or rpmfind.net search reveals the needed package. > i think up2date -i installs the dependencies as well but i normally > have them in the cd but i dont know that they are in which package. If you're having dependency problems with mainstream packaged software, using apt-rpm or yum is pretty nice. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
