Actually, no need to use 3rd party packages for something like this, and up2date is optional. Make sure you install the "rpmdb-redhat" package. I believe it is usually on cd 3 (or, of course, "up2date rpmdb-redhat"). With this package, you can do several things. First of all, you can query the database for uninstalled packages as such: #rpm --redhatprovides "/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Core.h" XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2 or whatever failed dependency or file you need. This will query rpmdb-redhat (database of all rpms), and tell you which package you need. You can also perform the opposite: #rpm --redhatrequires "XFree86-devel" gtk2-devel-2.2.1-4 gtk+-devel-1.2.10-25 imlib-devel-1.9.13-12 lesstif-devel-0.93.36-3 pango-devel-1.2.1-3 SDL-devel-1.2.5-3 So, if you don't have any of the above packages installed, an "up2date XFree86-devel" will resolve all dependencies, and install them all for you. The rpm switch "--aid" will also resolve these dependencies when installing. Just do an "rpm -ivh --aid XFree86-devel" (or whatever packages). Of course, all the dependency packages will have to be accessible. Nice when you are offline and/or don't have access to up2date. With up2date, though, you can do the same thing with: #up2date --whatprovides "/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Core.h" XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2 Hope that helps, -- Regards, Vinny Valdez -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
