Whatever you are trying to do: There is no current firefox in rpmforge. There is a firefox 3.0.6 in CentOS 4. This does not depend on libpixman-devel. No package in CentOS does provide libpixman or libpixman-devel, that only is in rpmforge. As it only is in rpmforge, cairo-devel from CentOS does not require libpixman-devel either, as CentOS has a closed repository which satisfies every dependency within itself. So show what you are trying to do by pasting it into an E-Mail - but I'm rather sure that you broke something on your system. Ralph
