Quick RPM question
 
Hi,
Quick question...why is it when I install RPM packages that require a library older than the one I have i get failed dependencies? I get the same problem even when I force the installation.

Thanks,
Alan

The older libs maynot supply the functions that the newer software may need and/or expect. Consider going to www.freshrpms.net and getting/installing and using apt. It can help.

Thanks for the help...I'll definitely try it out.
The main thing i'm trying to install is Afterstep. Any help with that would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Alan
