If not, then it says it can't satisfy the dependency. What you need to check is if the files and libraries on your system are provided by rpm. The way to do this is( ksh/sh syntax ) : for pkg in `rpm -q --all` do rpm -q --filesbypkg | egrep 'libXinerama\.so\.1' && echo $pkg done If no package echoes out, then this library is not supplied by one. You will have to create a virtual package which merely says that this library is provided without actually installing it. Look on pp. 413-416 of the 'Red Hat RPM Guide' for more information.
