I installed a tar ball libproplist then installed a tar ball 0.53. They worked but I did not specify directories properly so several paths were wrong. U know, wmaker started with all those empty squares. Too many paths to correct via wmakerconf. Therefore, I decided to use the sure-fire way (at least I thought so) via rpms. So I downloaded liproplist 8.3 rpm and wmaker 0.50 rpm for redhat. Subequently I installed the lib using kde's rpm manager. Then I added /usr/local/lib & /usr/local/bin to ld.so.conf & did a ldconf to link the libs. Finally, I attempted to install 0.50 wmaker rpm. And was told wmaker installation needed librraster.so.1 and the libs for wmaker 0.50. EXASPERATING. Somebody pls tell me what's going on. I need to rectify this asap. Tks, all. rt -----Original Message----- From: Arandir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 30, 1999 2:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Royce Teo; Expert@Linux-Mandrake.

So when you're trying to install a WM rpm, it wants to see that the rpm libraries needed are also installed. You can try to force the installation, but most likely you'll need the library rpms. -- Arandir... _______________________________ <http://www.meer.net/~arandir/>
