Well in reality if you are trying to install an rpm built for redhat, you choose the redhat package brought up by rpmfind. Similarly for any other distro. I long ago gave up trying to install Polish Linux Distro rpm's onto a redhat or mandrake system. So to refine what I originally said, search for the dependency name, eg libcomplex.so.4 in rpmfind.net,and look for the rpm package that matches your distro., then install it from wherever you can find it. - rpmfind, your cd, a likely mirror etc. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
