libast-0.5 & Eterm 0.9 issues

Been trying to install Eterm-0.9.2-4 on a RH9 system; got all the imlib2 & associated loaders for imlib2 installed, and then went to install libast (all from RPM). libast installed, but then when i went to install Eterm, it said:

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:

        libast.so.2 is needed by Eterm-0.9.2-4

Of course, I just INSTALLED libast. So...

Code:

 modify]# rpm -e libast-0.5

 modify]# rpm -Uvh libast-0.5-1.i386.rpm

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

  1:libast                ########################################### [100%]

 modify]# rpm -Uvh Eterm-0.9.2-4.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:

        libast.so.2 is needed by Eterm-0.9.2-4

What's going on here? :(

I'd install this libast form source. It seems to be simple ./configure && make && make install kind of thing.

I've seen this problem a lot with Slackware, and I suppose that RH is running into it now as well. Check out this thread for a discussion and possible solution.
