because it is not required for libqt3-devel as well. It is required for mysql-devel - and _this_ is required by libqt-devel. > or this problem couldn't be solved by the rpm package-system? > It is not the problem of RPM system. If you can break Qt3 in individual parts that can be installed independently - you are welcome (I just do not know if it is possible). But suppose you must compile Qt3 with --enable-mysql (imaginary) and have #ifdef MYSQL_ENABLED in every header file. How are you supposed to split it in this case? I really do not know how it is implemented :-) andrej
