Huh!..what a library?

I tried installing a newer version of GAIM (gaim-1.2.1-0rh9.i386.rpm) on MY RH9
(KDE) ...The first error message that I got is

Failed dependencies:
error:libgtkspell.so.0 not found

and when I used the rpm command with --nodeps but now I am not able to run GAIM
as it is still showing dependency on the above mentioned library.

But from where am I supposed to get this file and place it in which directory?

I even tried upgrading, but could not..so also had use --replacefiles to replace all the old files....



Please HELP!

am i missing somethign here? you installed an rpm by force through ignoring dependencies and it won't work? not exactly suprising. install gtkspell.

done!...

Downloaded gtkspell 2.0 from freshrpms.net and installed....GAIM is working with one problem now...

When I try to send an Offline message to someone, it hangs..

Any thing else to be installed?

(GAIM VERSION 1.2.1 installed)

I have the same problem with RedHat9 and GAIM. I download and install (or what seems to be installing) gtkspell rpm but GAIM still shows missing the libgtkspell.so.blahblah. I run rpm -qa (WOW) and could not find gtkspell anywhere. Any ideas? Am I installing RPMs wrotng. They always seemed to work before.

hey u can find the gtkspell.so. (whatever) is missing from

http://freshrpms.net

install it and "properly".

May be you are missing out any other files required by GAIM :-?

Well perhaps this isn't apropriate for this thread, but what is the proper way to install RPMs, or Tarballs for that matter. As far as the GAIM RPM I've only run it in Gnome. Ususally this works. As far as gtkspell, I've run the RPM in gnome and tried to install the tarball in a terminal. All of this was done in root. I know that when I ./configure | make | make install gtkspell it leaves the directory in the same folder to which I download the tar to. Where does GAIM RPM look for the library (libgtkspell.so.0)? It is on my system. Thanks again for you attention.
