Or use a Linux distro that can intelligently handle dependencies, like
teh Debian-based distro's (Especially Ubuntu) or Gentoo and you won't
have to worry about that. Most people are not using RPM based distros
for desktop use anymore, although it's still king server-side.

His cinepaint v0.20 installation failed due to missing dependencies,
cinepaint required some shared objects like libHalf.so.2 available
within OpenEXR package for linux. Download and install OpenEXR package
prior to cinepaint installation from
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/libHalf.so.2()(64bit)
<http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/libHalf.so.2%28%29%2864bit%29>
you'll get a number of OpenEXR packages for various linux
distributions. OpenEXR package has been silently removed from US
mirrors, so you might need to download it from mirrors in Taiwan (dot
TW). Assuming you have OpenEXR and CINEPAIN packages, issue following
commands as root to install both.
rpm -U OpenEXR--v.package
rpm -U cinepaint-v.package
Once you have cinepaint installed, it's good idea to join their
mailing list to learn from cinepaint gurus all the techniques required
to your image processing. http://www.cinepaint.org/
Good luck,
