fglrx - failed dependacies

[redhat 9]i am trying to install 'ATI Proprietary Linux x86 Drivers for X. Org6.8 Version 8.16.20' but it is telling me that i am missing libXinerama.so.1 and libXxf86vm.so.1.[/redhat 9]

i did a:

Code:

find /usr/lib/X11R6 | grep libXinerama.so.1 (and libXxf86vm.so.1)

and got returns for both.

why is:

Code:

rpm -Uvh fglrx_6_8_0-8.16.20-1.i386.rpm

telling me they are not installed.

[schneidz@lq]$ uname -a
Linux hyper-nmv1so2wb 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

thanks,

If you do a ldconfig -v as root does the missing libraries appear in the list?

yeah they come up under /usr/lib/X11R6 as
libXinerama.so.1 -> libXinerama.so.1.0
libXxf86vm.so.1 -> libXxf86vm.so.1.0

is there a way to install this through apt-get?

apt-get install fglrx_6_8_0-8.16.20-1.i386

wont work

i downloaded and ran this from ati.com: 'ati-driver-installer-8.16.20-i386.run' and it worked.

i'd like to know the answer to my apt-get problem.

also i can't get direct rendiring to work on my computer:
