hi

when u used add remove applications

there it might have given u package deendencies(i.e a particular package is not insatalled)

so must look out for xorg-x11-libs either by add remove applications or manually from the CD

Ha? I already have xorg-X11-libs installed. I tried with atp-get install xorg-x11-libs and it said I have it installed. I tried with yum install xorg-x11-libs, and it said I have it installed.
I'm not really following you. Are you saying that even thought it says xorg-x11-libs is missing, in really some dependency package is missing?

hi
what i am saying is that when u install using ad remove packae installtion ,then that muight have stopped ,since u told that it reports that
Xorg-x11-libs is not installed(this is called package dependency)

so u need to solve this dependency,which u tried and u got the message that it is already installed

so what does this give u
#rpm -qa|grep xorg

or
# rpm -ga|grep Xorg

rpm -qa|grep Xorg gives nothing.
but rpm -qa|grep xorg lists this
xorg-x11-libs-data-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-xauth-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-tools-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-base-fonts-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-xfs-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-twm-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-font-utils-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts-6.7.0-5
xorg-x11-xdm-6.7.0-5

hety
just checkout out tje packaes on fedora 2 CD
there having a different verison no.
u have
xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-5 installed
but the one in he CD is

xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-2

but that should not make a difference, i think so
can't u get a rpm of the package u r wanting to install,instead of compiling it????

regards

Got Synaptic installed using yum.
Reinstalled the xorg-x11-libs with it and it solved the problem.
Thx.
