I don't think so. I seem to recall having this dependency on some rpms I built back when I was using the NVIDIA binary driver packages. It's likely that the packager of the application he is trying to install built the packages on a system using the nvidia drivers. The library libGLcore.so.1 does not appear to be included in any Red hat package. Here is a rather silly waste of CPU cycles to determine where the file might exist in Red Hat's packages: [mfratoni@paradox RPMS]$ pwd /home/mfratoni/devel/dist-8.0/stock/RedHat/RPMS [mfratoni@paradox RPMS]$ rpm -qlp *.rpm | grep -i glcore /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a The results are the same in the 7.3 and 7.2 rpm directories as well. The solution is probably to rebuild the game package from source. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9wJBgn/07WoAb/SsRAm0EAJ92vzkwUvLCC5A+jZ9DRC01391pCwCfUSxx S5uT3e8Ds7DnCGfg6+ym8fE= =0UIQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
