It probably depends on something that depends on something specific in gnome's libs.

Dunno what that is. I get to it fine, although I'm a bad example for testing network speeds to Red Hat's bugzilla. *grin* While a lot of people are going to chant "use apt-rpm! use apt-rpm!" because, well, it's the cool tool of the month, I'm going to go the other way - rhn_register and up2date are your friends. use rhn_register to register with RHN (it's free!) and then "up2date -i" redhat-config-network - up2date will resolve your dependencies, and install what's needed to make it run. Plus you can "up2date -u" to get all the latest errata for 7.3, with their proper depends resolved. All of this is assuming your network is actually up at the time. If it isn't, apt-rpm and up2date are useless (unless you have a local to that machine apt repository for that distro, which seems excessive to me), and you'll have to do things the hard way. redhat-config-packages may address some of these issues, but that's not in 7.3, only 8.0 and Phoebe. -- ---------------------------------- -- Kevin Sonney -- -- ICQ: 4855069 AIM: ksonney -- ---------------------------------- 1024D/320C 0336 3BC4 13EC 4AEC 6AF2 525F CED7 7BB6 12C9 Obviously I was either onto something, or on something. -- Larry Wall on the creation of Perl
