This library already resides in /usr/lib/. The library should not be installed by my rpm. Bad idea. Don't do that, it's not that hard to auto. package new builds up in an rpm (just create a make target). And rpm isn't designed to work if you do that. If you think you must, then you can work around it with a "fake" rpm that uses ghost to "provide" files and/or manual provides for things like "libfoo.so()" automatic. provides/requires. > Then, as enhancement,it would be nice to just check it the library exists on /usr/lib if not, do not install otherwise install. Either of the above ways of doing it means this just works. -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
