I am hoping someone took notes as they did this and could supply a list to the group. I realize that an exact list may not be possible as it will depend on what is already loaded on the system, however, any list is better than none. Finding which RPM contains a library which is not on the system is a long drawn out process. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
