Hi all,
I've been trying to get qmail toaster installed on a Fedora Core 4 box
that is running php4. I was told that qmail toaster should run fine
using php4, but I have not been able to get things to work successfully.
When using install script for Fedora, it reports that there was a failed
dependency (php 5 required).
error: Failed dependencies:
php >= 5.0.4 is needed by control-panel-toaster-0.5-1.3.1.noarch
When I attempted to install the RPM package without using the install
script (first rebuilding the rpm package for Fedora Core 4, then using
the rpm -Uvh command), it reports it as installed, but when I check it's
not listed.

Does anybody have any insight as to why this is happening, or how I can
fix this? Thank you.

Eugene,
There are two different types of rpms, source and binaries. Source rpms
contain the source code and are named *.src.rpm, while binary rpms
contain executables and are named *.noarch.rpm (noarch can also be a
certain architecture, such as i386 or i686).
Most packages are distributed as binary rpms, so users can simply
install them and run. Due to licensing restrictions, qmail (and thus the
toaster) must be distributed in source form, which means that you need
to build the binary rpms yourself before installing them. That is what
the install/upgrade scripts do.
In order to install a toaster package manually, you need to build and
install the binary (executable) rpms (you've simply installed the
source, which doesn't do you much good). You need to use the rpmbuild
command to do this. See http://devel.qmailtoaster.com/faq.html#howbuild
Seeing that you're fairly new to this rpm stuff (nothing wrong with
that, but a substantial bit of a learning curve ahead), I strongly
recommend that you use CentOS4.3 instead of Fedora4 if at all possible
for running the toaster. They're both RedHat based, but CentOS is much
more stable (essentially the same as RHEL), undergoes fewer changes, and
has been tested more thoroughly.
