I have a problem with fedora utility to add and remove software.

 

I am trying to add development package for X that I did not installed originally.

 

After selecting the package the application says that needs Xfree-lib and another rpm package to continue.

 

Those rpms are already installed with the correct version!!!

 

I have tryied to reinstall the manually. Despite the installation the application contitnue to tel me that those rpm are missing!!!

 

Any idea?

Fabio

do the following steps from a command prompt:

 

wget [/url]http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fed...0.1.fr.i386.rpm

wget [url=http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fed...0.1.fr.i386.rpm]http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fed...0.1.fr.i386.rpm

 

rpm -Uvh apt-*

 

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get install XFree86-devel

 

 

# done

 

 

you should be all set and it will get the needed dependencies as well
