so i went back to install my program.rpm and let file roller handle that and again with the libcurl.so.2 error
other suggestion was to go with progr.src.rpm installation which is ok but i didnt' quite know what to type in command line to make that work. no installation instructions from the site.
i tried #rpm -ivh program.src.rpm but i'm sure that wasn't right as it didn't work.
what should i type please?
in the end i untarred a file then ./configure , make , su, make install. and all is well for the drivel program.
but still i'd like to be able to use rpms as synaptic makes my life so easy.
thanks,
mike h

seems that i've tried a few different applications that are dependent on libcurl.so.2
fc3 doesn't come with this so i'm assuming this is deprecated and fc3 is expecting all applications to use libcurl.so.3 which apparently doesn't help with apps needing libcurl.so.2.
is this right?
at any rate i would like to fix this problem so if you've experience with this let me know,
This should help:
# rpm -Uvh http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/compat-libcurl-7.11.2-2.i386.rpm
The package just contains the old library and can hence co-exist with the updated curl.
