What dependency is not satisfied? If you can't figure it out yourself, then search for it in rpmfind.net: Suppose it is "libbarbi.so.2" go to http://rpmfind.net/ type in the search box: libbarbi.so.2 >From the answers select *only* one from "RedHat 7.2" or "RedHat 7.2 Updates": this is the package you need to install. Add it to the 'rpm -Uv' command-line that failed due to missing dependencies. Repeast until all dependencies are satisfied (in that case the rpm command will succeed) -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir
