Installing from source is going to be *even more difficult*, because you will not have urpmi to resolve the dependencies for you. I did a urpmi --test bibletime just to see what the dependencies were, and it's ridiculous, to say the least: To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (134 MB): bibletime-1.3-1tex.i586 kdebase-3.1.3-4tex.i586 kdebase-devel-3.1.3-4tex.i586 kdebase-nsplugins-3.1.3-4tex.i586 kdelibs-3.1.3-9.1tex.i586 kdelibs-common-3.1.3-9.1tex.i586 kdelibs-devel-3.1.3-9.1tex.i586 liblame0-3.93.1-4plf.i586 libqt3-3.1.2-9.1tex.i586 libqt3-common-3.1.2-9.1tex.i586 libqt3-devel-3.1.2-9.1tex.i586 libsword1-1.5.6-1tex.i586 notlame-3.93.1-2.1plf.i586 now, this could be because Tex has built the package with a lot of extra features, so I downloaded the source myself, and I could not get it to build, and I have just about every devel library there is. It failed on the sword devel library, so I installed that, it still failed, wrong version. and then you are still going to have to install libcrypto, etc. like you saw before, when you were trying to install from rpm. go back to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php, configure your sources for 9.0, follow the simple instructions, and you should be able to install using urpmi. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it. -- Oscar Wilde, "The Portrait of Mr. W.H."
