If the newer version of the libraries are backwards-compatible with the older versions, you can just tell RPM to ignore the dependency. rpm -U --nodeps filename.rpm But then there's no guarantee the dynamic loader will find the newer libraries -- you may need to create some symlinks. Sometimes I wonder how many terrabytes of support emails would be saved if people would simply link supporting 3rd-party libraries statically once in a while...Received on 2002-12-06 20:32:33
