Hello Hongwei, > 2. I know fedora does not have pine any more. I downloaded it for rh9 > and try to install it, but got: > > # rpm -ihv pine-4.44-19.90.0.i386.rpm > error: Failed dependencies: > libcom_err.so.3 is needed by pine-4.44-19.90.0 > > Where can I get libcom_err.so.3? $ rpm -q --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/ --whatprovides libcom_err.so.3 krb5-libs-1.2.7-10 The above is on RHL 9. That particular file is no longer provided by krb5-libs, so you need to rebuild the srpm. You might want to use a newer tarball and edit the spec file to reflect that change (and get rid of redundant patches). Or google for pre built rpms.
