When you manually compile and install a program, it doesn't appear in the RPM (or deb) database. That's one problem with using a package system. :( I believe that you can tell RPM "I have these packages installed on my system already, don't bug me about then" (I think I read that as part of the Linux >From Scratch handbook). You can also tell rpm to ignore missing dependencies. (I believe it's "rpm -i --nodeps foo.rpm", but check the man page) This is a problem that affects all binary distributions, and I can't think of any good solution. :( Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
