Installing Code::Blocks - dependency hell


I'm running Code::Blocks on RHEL 4 (2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp) and have built it in the past. Now I'm upgrading to the newest version and find that I need to upgrade wx to 2.8.3. I've done this in the past and it typically requires a rebuild of wx, so I pull down wxGTK-2,8.3-2.fc7.src.rpm and attempt rpm --rebuild but I start getting stuck in dependency hell. wxGTK requires gstreamer-devel >= 0.10. OK, so I find an srpm for gstreamer-0.10 and try again - rpm --rebuild gstreamer-0.10 and I need glib2-devel, check-devel, and gtk-doc. OK, so now I try to dig up these....

There has got to be a better way to get this going on RHEL4. Any tips??

All of this is at work. I have a Fedora 8 machine at home which I haven't even tried yet.

you have met a problem that many of us have been coming up against for years. it is the problem with thinking that you will use a nice sensible proven version people only build programs for the latest version of the distros it is a pain but as yet I have not found a solution to the problem. I use an os based on FC4 and I come up with the same problem every few days.
