You should be root when you install - use su to become root and then try again.

root account is the same .
[root@localhost root]# rpm -ivh ed2k-gtk-gui-0.6.3-2.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libexpat.so.1 is needed by ed2k-gtk-gui-0.6.3-2

Then you need to head off to freshroms.net to get the dependency. Install it and then install eDonkey

Finally found the solution!
Download the rpm from the following page. This will install libexpat.so.1 on your system and that makes apt-get happy.

You should also try mldonkey, it works really well on Linux.

I have had a same problem and I found very simple solution.
I had made a symlink to libexpat.so.0.5.0 (or to 0.4.0 is also possible)

#ln -s libexpat.so.0.5.0 libexpat.so.1

and then I installed rpm without checking the depencies

#rpm -i --nodeps ed2k-gtk-gui-0.6.3-2.i386.rpm

and your eDonkey was installed!
