% Hi, I have been trying to install an email application
% (xfmail-1.3-2.i386.rpm) on my RHL 5.0.
%
% rpm -i -vv ... gives me the following error messages:
%
% failed dependencies
% libforms.so.0.88 is needed
% xforms >=0.88.1 is needed
You could use the --nodeps argument.
% I did however download xforms, unpacked the archive and
% installed the files using make and make install. So now I have
%
% a working xforms demo
%
% libforms.so.0.88 (and other new files) in /usr/lib
% (copied them there manually)
%
% xforms.5 but no xforms in /usr/X11R6/lib/xforms.5
%
% but I still get "failed dependencies" while trying to install
% the xfmail...
After the install, did you rerun ldconfig to update the cache?
`ldconfig -p | more' will show you what libraries you have
installed. `ldconfig -v | more' will update the cache and show
you what libraries the loader knows about.
