I am running a modified version of Redhat 9.0 and want to upgrade Evolution 1.2.2
The modifications that were made to RH9 prevent RedCarpet from recognising my OS as a supported system. As such, I have downloaded evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1.i386.rpm and am in the throws of attempting to install it.
It seems I am missing the following:
ORBit2 >= 2.7.5 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
gnome-spell >= 1.0.2 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
libbonobo > 2.2.0-1 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
libgal-2.0.so.5 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
libgal-a11y-2.0.so.5 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
libgal2 >= 2:1.99.10 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
libgtkhtml-3.0.so.2 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
libgtkhtml-a11y-3.0.so.2 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
libsoup >= 1.99.26 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
libsoup-2.0.so.0 is needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1
I downloaded ORBit2 and tried to install it as per the instructions contained therein but got a dependent file message that said I required glib2.0 In turn, I tried to install this but to no avail.
Can someone please suggest an easier way to go about upgrading Evolution?!?
Alternatively, I can take each file needed by evolution-1.4.5-7.fdr.0.1 and relay each problem I get trying to install the dependent files!?!
What do you mean by "use apt-get" or yum"? Sorry - Complete and Utter Newbie in need of detailed instructions...also, the site I d'lded from does not have links to the dependent files!?!
As I cannot find a RH9.0 specific rpm, I've downloaded apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr0.rh80.1.i386.rpm but get the following error message upon trying to install it:
warning: apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr0.rh80.1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b
error: Failed dependencies:
libelf.so.0 is needed by apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr0.rh80.1
librpm-4.1.so is needed by apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr0.rh80.1
librpmdb-4.1.so is needed by apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr0.rh80.1
librpmio-4.1.so is needed by apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr0.rh80.1
When I downloaded libelf-0.8.2-2.src.rpm I got:
warning: libelf-0.8.2-2.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
What does it all mean!?! Any Ideas What to Try Next!?!

All this means is that you don't have the key to verify the integrity of the download on your machine. You can ignore it if you wish, I have and had no probs so far
1. It stopped there - no more warnings!?! Would appreciate knowing how to force install anyways but...
2. Thx for the link - I tried it earlier and again just now (without the http:// at the beginning - I must be braindead today!). Hoorah! I've managed to install apt-get and am in the process of getting synaptic sorted out...
Not having used apt-get before, I would suggest that you read the APT HOWTO. But after you update the installed packages database, and configured sources, then you would run
ok apt-get and synaptic are working just fine now...but, can anyone point me towards a repository that has an evolution 1.4.5 rpm for redhat 9.0 rather than fedora!?!
I have downloaded the evolution-1.4.5 rpm but cannot install it due to a number of missing dependent files. I have since downloaded those dependencies only to find that they require a total of 145MB of further dependent files!?!
I am using a regular snail's pace connection and I am particularly concerned not to mess with glibc as I have come across a number of warnings about the effect attempting to upgrade glibc can have!?!
