I guess if nobody else is requiring gcc, it isn't necessary. > 2. Does xerces-c-doc require xerces-c-devel ? Nope, doc doesn't require devel. I can't even think of why I had that requires in there... maybe because the doc has a lot of doxygen stuff for the devel package? but this isn't necessary, there aren't any dependencies (e.g. installing doc without devel is ok) Actually, now that I think about it, devel doesn't require the libxerces-c22 package because you can link against the .dll.a libraries that are installed in /usr/lib. libxerces-c22 is only required at runtime. I've updated the setup.hint files for these two packages at: http://abackus.imagineis.com/release/xerces-c/xerces-c-doc/setup.hint http://abackus.imagineis.com/release/xerces-c/xerces-c-devel/setup.hint thanks! -Abe
