Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i'm trying to install a package but get these dependencies error:
[root@localhost lib]# rpm -iv /home/luke/temp/pgadmin*.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by pgadmin3-1.0.2-1
libssl.so.4 is needed by pgadmin3-1.0.2-1
so i check in /usr/lib and find i have the libraries
but with *so.2 instead of *so.4
so i try making symbolic links
i'm not sure if it's the right way to do things but it's worked before
tried to install again and get the same dependency errors
also tried upgrading the libs in hopes it would include the *so.4 libs with a rpm
but got a couple dozen dependency errors
what it is the reason behind the numbering in the .so libs?
if they are just links couldn't the programs check for the base .so
eg.. libcrypto.so.0.9.6b instead of libcrypto.so.4
Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
