ok the thing is that im trying to install pdftk on a fedora cora 3 machine.

when i try to install the rpm i get this

rpm -i pdftk-1.12-0.fdr.1.3.i386.rpm
warning: pdftk-1.12-0.fdr.1.3.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID ff6382fa
error: Failed dependencies:
libgcj.so.5 is needed by pdftk-1.12-0.fdr.1.3.i386

So i found the libgcj.so.5 file on the internet, but now i dont really know what to do with it.

how do i install this file on the system?

thnx ion advance dudes and dudettes

Is the file you downloaded on the internet an rpm? If not, you need to install the libgcj rpm for Fedora Core 3.

no the libgcj.so.5 is not een rpm, because when i install that rpm it asks for 6 more dependencies

You need to install the libgcj rpm and all other rpms that are dependencies of libgcj. Extracting individual files from an rpm and placing it somewhere on your system won't necessarily resolve your problem because libgcj.so.5 won't work properly without other files from the libgcj rpm.
