This is incorrect. If you have two RPM files, a.rpm and b.rpm, and a.rpm depends on b.rpm and b.rpm depends on a.rpm, then you should install using this as follows: # rpm -Uhv a.rpm b.rpm This will solve the "circular dependency" issue you referred to. --- Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Puryear Information Technology Windows, UNIX, and IT Consulting http://www.puryear-it.com
