it's definitely an easier path. You fix the dependencies for one program and it fixes them for everything else. > > >> alrighty, take a look at these files.

Well, that may work, I'm not sure. If there's stuff not working, see if there is config file with a rpmnew extension. A lot of the time you can just copy the rpmnew file over the old one and it will work, but diff them to see what's happening. > > > > error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 > cannot open > >> > shared object library: no such file or directory >> > a search on rpmfile.net found it to be in >> egcs-c++-1.1.2-58mdk.i586.rpm, >> > presently downloading > > > needed another file.. dependency again! Was that file from the same version of mandrake as the one you're running? If it's not there will be lots of dependencies, if it's the same version it should be fairly straightforward though (assuming you've installed gcc et al) > > > > >ok, that's probably a security setting.
