I think that you will eventually have problems applying CentOS system updates 
if you replace the poppler package in the CentOS distribution with your 
package. If you need only a few of the poppler utilities and do not need 
libpoppler, you might be better off with a source build using configure 
--enable-static --disable-shared ; make, and then copying the utilities that 
you need to /usr/local/bin. Regards, William

Subject: [poppler] Questions about building poppler-utils 0.50.0 rpm for CentOS 
7

Hi all,

I need to install poppler 0.50.0 on my CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511.

I took the Fedora SRPM, rebuild it on my system and got 
poppler-0.50.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm and 
poppler-utils-0.50.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm.

After install these rpms, I got the binary I need and it seems like it works 
well. But when I check the dependency of this binary, I found it has dynamic 
references to some libraries in my system, for example: fontconfig, the 
fontconfig on system is 2.10 but poppler 0.50.0 requires at least fontconfig 
2.12.

Almost all dynamic dependencies on CentOS is very "old", and I don't want to 
upgrade all related libraries. What should I do now? Rebuild rpm with static 
reference? If so, how do I do that?

Is it risky to have poppler 0.50.0 with all these old references?

Thanks!
