Dependency hell !!!
Hi all,
I am at my wits end with the number of dependancies I get when I try to install software in Linux. For instance I tried to install MPlayer for the first time and this is what I got back: ? rpm -i mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr.i386.rpm warning: mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b error: Failed dependencies: lame is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr mplayer-fonts is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr aalib is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr lirc is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr libdv is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr libdvdread is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr faad2 is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr lzo is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr libfame is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr libaa.so.1 is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr libdvdread.so.3 is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr libdv.so.2 is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr libfaad.so.0 is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr liblirc_client.so.0 is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr liblzo.so.1 is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr libmad.so.0 is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr libmp3lame.so.0 is needed by mplayer-0.90-4.0.rh80.20030808.fr I mean eh!..... Am I missing something.... Is there someway round this or do i need to track down all these individual packages and install them ( including their dependancies ). I am running RHL8 ( is this a good OS ? ) Thanks in advance. lub0 :newbie: |

URPMI
So what is the low down on these URPMI :scratch: I must admit I aint never heard of it, but I will give it a try...
thx lub0 :newbie: |
URPMI is a Mandrake tool for software downloading,installiing and satisfying dependencies.Redhat will probably use some other system.
