Shuffling files about without telling RPM about it is not going to change anything. You need to *install the RPMs* that contain those files: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pd]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so tcl-8.3.5-88 [EMAIL PROTECTED] pd]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so tk-8.3.5-88 Granted, that's easier to figure out when you have a system where they have alredy been installed, but it shouldn't be massively hard to guess that libtcl comes from tcl and libtk from tk... [When push comes to shove, go to your installation RPM directory and do something like "rpm -qlip *.rpm | less", search for the file name and flip back to the package description] -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
