I am not sure what you mean: what is a "Host Client"? is it a computer that has no screen, or at least no graphical screen? If so, you need whatever the X client programs need to link with. On my system (Fedora Core 2) xterm needs the following packages: expat-1.95.7-1.1 fontconfig-2.2.92-1 freetype-2.1.7-4 glibc-2.3.3-27 libtermcap-2.0.8-38 utempter-0.5.5-4 xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-2 zlib-1.2.1.1-2.1 I generated this list with the following script: ldd /usr/bin/xterm | while read a b lib junk; do rpm -qf $lib; done | sort -u (It also generates an error message because ldd reports on a library "linux-gate.so.1" which does not exist on my system. I do not know how come, xterm works for me and I have never seen or heard of linux-gate before today.) You could use a similar command for the applications that you are interested in. Obviously you have to do that on an ordinary system where the apps in question are installed and work. Of course, you should also do rpm -qf $(type -p my_app) --requires, or better: rpm -q --whatprovides $(rpm -qf $(type -p nautilus) --requires) | grep -v "^no package provides" | sort -u (This was for the file browser "nautilus") There are still some issues with the last approach, because "rpm -q xxx --requires" outputs some lines of the form "rpmlib(CompressedFileNames)" which I do not know how to handle.
