The Glint from RH5.2 is probably trying to use old libraries that you no longer
have with RH 6.0. There are two things you can do. First, check to see if you
have the "compatibility" packages for the older libraries installed. Second,
You can compile Glint from the sources. This means you'll have to get the glint
source code (glint-x.x.x-x.src.rpm). Read the intall and readme notes, and you
should have little problems.
Another solution is to install the KDE libraries, and get the KPackage program
from mandrake-linux. This is what I use. It allows you to browse the installed
tree, although all "new" packages are lumped together under one node.
