I am traying to install eGott on FC 2. I have following:

MySQL-shared-4.1.10-0
MySQL-client-4.1.10-0
MySQL-server-4.1.10-0
MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.10-0
MySQL-devel-4.1.10-0
httpd-2.0.51-2.9
id3lib-3.8.3-1

When I try to install egott-0.1-1.i386.rpm I get unresolved
dependancy:
        libid3-3.8.so.0 needs by egott-0.1-1
        libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 needs by egott-0.1-1

This seems odd, so I try to compile eGott from the source:

Not odd, you just have to understand how RPM works.
You have id3lib installed but obviously it does not provide the needed
libid3-3.8.so.0, but certainly a different version. You can check
yourself with "rpm -ql id3lib".
Second, you don't have compat-libstdc++ installed. Learn to use the
tools on board: yum provides libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

OK my mistake. Installed compat-libstdc++. But how can I solve the problem with libid3-3.8.so.0? Should I install id3lib-3.8.0? I tryed to link libid3-3.8.so.0 to libid3-3.8.so.3.0.0, but that dos not help.

[jonsi@hobbe egott-0.1]$ ./configure --with-mysql=/usr --prefix=/usr

This seems also odd or is it?

No, not at all. You have to tell configure where it can find
libmysqlclient.so.
