Bruce, why don't you try installing the redhat-rpmdb. If you apps are redhat specific it should allow rpm to list suggestions for you packages to install. This way when you attempt to install foo.rpm rpm and it depends on bar.so.3 rpm looks up bar.so.3 in the rpm db and says "Oh, you need to install libbar.rpm". Again, it only works for Redhat specific apps. HTH, Harry Quoting bruce <bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>: *> we have an ongoing issue that's perplexing at best... *> *> we have searched through google and other sites, trying to find the *> libcrypto.so.4/libssl.so.4 files. *> *> we came across the openssl-0.9.7a-5.1.i386.rpm file, which appears to state *> that the required files are in the package. we downloaded, and attempted to *> install the apckage, only to be informed that libcrypto.so.2<<<<< is *> required by 20-30 other apps!!!! *> *> so, how should one go about trying to update their system!!!! *> *> right now, we're fearful that we've totally screwed this up... *> *> thanks... *> *> bruce *> bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx *> (925) 866-2790 *> *> -- Harry Hoffman hhoffman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- radical: 1) Someone waiting in line to become "The Establishment" ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IpSolutions: http://www.ip-solutions.net/ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
