I feel a little silly asking this, but it's becoming painfully
clear that I lack a fundimental understanding of how package dependencies
work. I'm trying to install gnome on my AS/200 with RH5.2. I have
downloaded the following files:
GXedit-1.23-1.alpha.rpm gnome-pim-1.0.7-1.alpha.rpm
ORBit-0.4.3-1.alpha.rpm
gnome-users-guide-1.0.5-1.noarch.rpm
audiofile-0.1.6-2.alpha.rpm gnome-utils-1.0.1-5.alpha.rpm
control-center-1.0.5-13.alpha.rpm gnorpm-0.8-0.1.alpha.rpm
desktop-backgrounds-1.0.0-3.noarch.rpm gnotepad+-1.1.3-1.alpha.rpm
ee-0.3.8-6.alpha.rpm gnumeric-0.23-1.1.alpha.rpm
enlightenment-0.15.5-25.alpha.rpm gqview-0.6.0-2.alpha.rpm
enlightenment-conf-0.15-4.alpha.rpm gtk+-1.0.6-3.alpha.rpm
esound-0.2.12-1.alpha.rpm gtk+-1.2.1-7.alpha.rpm
fnlib-0.4-7.1.alpha.rpm gtk+10-1.0.6-4.1.alpha.rpm
freetype-1.1-5.1.alpha.rpm gtk-engines-0.5-11.alpha.rpm
gdm-1.0.0-12rh.alpha.rpm gtop-1.0.1-2.alpha.rpm
gedit-0.5.1-2.alpha.rpm guile-1.3-2.alpha.rpm
gftp-1.13-3.alpha.rpm imlib-1.9.5-1.alpha.rpm
glib-1.2.1-1.alpha.rpm imlib-cfgeditor-1.9.5-1.alpha.rpm
glib10-1.0.6-4.1.alpha.rpm libghttp-1.0.2-1.alpha.rpm
gmc-4.5.30-3rh.alpha.rpm libgtop-1.0.1-1.2.alpha.rpm
gnome-audio-1.0.0-5.noarch.rpm
libgtop-examples-1.0.1-1.2.alpha.rpm
gnome-audio-extra-1.0.0-5.noarch.rpm libxml-1.0.0-1.1.alpha.rpm
gnome-core-1.0.4-13rh.alpha.rpm mc-4.5.30-3rh.alpha.rpm
gnome-games-1.0.2-7.1.alpha.rpm mcserv-4.5.30-3rh.alpha.rpm
gnome-libs-1.0.8-2rh.alpha.rpm
gnome-linuxconf-0.22-0.1.alpha.rpm
gnome-media-1.0.1-2.alpha.rpm
gnome-network-1.0.2-2.alpha.rpm xchat-0.9.4-2.alpha.rpm
gnome-objc-1.0.2-1.alpha.rpm xscreensaver-2.34-1.alpha.rpm
I then run
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
And this is what I get:
failed dependencies:
gtk+ >= 1.2.0 is needed by gftp-1.13-3
libguile.so.2 is needed by gnome-games-1.0.2-7.1
gtk+ >= 1.2.1 is needed by gnome-libs-1.0.8-2rh
gtk+ >= 1.1.13 is needed by gnotepad+-1.1.3-1
libguile.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-0.23-1.1
glib = 1.0.6 is needed by gtk+-1.0.6-3
umb-scheme is needed by guile-1.3-2
gtk+ >= 1.2 is needed by imlib-1.9.5-1
libguile.so.2 is needed by libgtop-examples-1.0.1-1.2
It's probably painfully obvious to some of you, but I'm a little confused
by the fact that gtk+ >= 1.2 is needed by several things. It is among the
packages on the list.
I've tried the rpm HOWTO, and the manual (book), but neither gave me much
info on just how these dependencies work.
Thanks
