If you compile utilities and libraries from source, the rpm database has no idea they are there, and will therefore fail rpms with dependency problems that do not exist. I have and will continue to use the --nodeps option, but only in cases where I am quite certain that rpm is wrong. It can be a dangerous option if misused, but can be necessary at times. I would put it in the expert user catagory of options, not one to ignore and pretend it was a misfeature the developers left in. -- Matthew Micene Systems Development Manager Express Search Inc. www.ExpressSearch.com ____________________________ A host is a host from coast to coast, and no one will talk to a host too close Unless the host that isn't close is busy, hung or dead
