I just downloaded and had a try at installing pango 2.4 from source. It complained I need Glib 2.1.3 or better, yet rpm says I have glib2.2.2.1-1 installed, though it also says that it provides /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.200.1, which doesn't look like a 2.2 version to my simple mind.

I think actually, I'll give up. The Gtk+ page doesn't list fontconfig as one of its dependencies, though it does list pango, so it looks like people have only listed first level dependencies, so I just *know* I'd wind up in the classic "download 96 rpm files, and discover either conflicts or missing arcane rpm sub-dependencies" situation. It's why I started using apt-get. The fact that apr-get/apt-cache don't have packages for any of this stuff I suspect is a big red waving DANGER flag.. I think it's time to try installing gentoo, and leave all these upgrade problems in the past. luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
