Hi experts I am a newbie to linux, I am really struggling at the moment. this is the first time that I have ever done a .tar.gz or a rpm or messed with the system. Op sys is linux-mandrake 7.1 in a celeron 333 box with gigabyte board, 64MB ram. mdk uses a diff' file structure, it seems, than is expected by libguile. mdk 7.1 instakked libguile.s0.1 and 5 and 6, they are in /usr/lib. I installed guile-1.4.tar.gz twice. First all files wanted to go /usr/local/ . . but on second install changed makefile prefix statement from /usr/local to /usr/lib. Lmdk does not use /usr/local except for the Interbase prog' guile -1.4 installed libguile.so.9 but in /usr/lib/guile-1.4/libguile/.libs/ however it is not be seen by the gnu-cash rpm. Here is a copy of the konsole [willie@localhost rpm]$ su -c 'urpmi gnucash-1.4.9-1.i586.rpm' Password: Failed dependencies: gnucash-1.4.9-1 requires libguile.so.9, libxml.so.2 ----------I have libxml2-2.2.10 and libxml2 Hi experts I am a newbie to linux, I am really struggling at the moment. this is the first time that I have ever done a .tar.gz or a rpm or messed with the system.

Where do I find failed dependences preferably as a mdk-i586.rpm ------rpmlib(CompressedFileNames), rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) --- could not be found by file name 'rpmlib' on www.rpmfind.net Is rpmlib part of another programme with a different name? 2. Where should I be installing guile-1.4 so that it's files will be seen by gnucash. I do not understand the basics on files as you can see. Can you please point me in the right direction on this - better still - tell me exactly what to do to get gnucash up and running. Regards and thanks Alan Smith - South Africa
