hye,
I am trying to install ethereal and confirmed from the manual that these five rpms have to be installed.
rpm -ivh glib-1.2.6-3.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh glib-devel-1.2.6-3.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh gtk+-1.2.6-7.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh gtk+-devel-1.2.6-7.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh libpcap-0.4-19.i386.rpm
I used rpm -ql <rpmname> to check to see if all the five rpms are installed.
Here is what I get.
[root@localhost root]# rpm -ql gtk+-devel
package gtk+-devel is not installed
[root@localhost root]# yum install gtk+-devel

Here I tried installing the XFree86-libs.

It is giving identical loop exceeded for both gtk+-devel and XFree86-libs.
Also XFree86-libs is in Available Packages and Installed packages...how come?
What do I do next?
thanx in advance,
Jared
