They have hard dependencies against strange package names (i.e. OpenAL) instead of allowing RPM discover the dependencies. And, the RPMS install to /usr/local. I forced the RPM to install with --nodeps but it segfaults when calling into openal. So, one would need to write a new RPM spec and rebuild everything from source. Or skip the RPM and just run their installer script. Either way you still need openal. Add http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/ repository then: yum install openal openal-devel Create a new file named /etc/yum.repos.d/newrpms.repo containing: [newrpms] name=NewRPMS baseurl=http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc3/ enabled=1 Then import the newrpms GPG key: rpm --import http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/gpg-pubkey-newrpms.txt -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
