The problem with mixing repos is that "yum upgrade" can do weird and broken things, also "yum install" on other packages. Dag is probably OK as he tries to ensure his packages are compatible but Fedora upstream generally don't care.
For applications it basically doesn't matter that RPM doesn't know about it, as they aren't dependencies of other stuff. For libraries it does, but the Inkscape autopackages won't install any other libraries.
I'm having the same problem while installing glibmm-2.4.6
()
I downloaded libsigc++-2.0.6.tar.gz, expanded it in a temp directory, then ./configure, make, make install, without giving any path .
When i try to configure glibmm-2.4.6, I get the report:
---snip--
checking for sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gobject-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gmodule-2.0 >= 2.4.0... Package sigc++-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sigc++-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'sigc++-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gobject-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gmodule-2.0 >= 2.4.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

and i cannot locate glib-2.0....
I would like to install an application that requires different libraries (under Fedora core3).
Some of those libraries need to be compiled using glib1-devel and other requires glib2-devel.
But the last two development libraries conflict.
Has someone an idea about how to solve that problem.
Thanks.
