hi... i did an install/update of an rpm (openssl). it successfully placed the files/.so in the /usr/lib dir. i then did an rpm install/upgrade of another package that required the openssl libs.. the install process dies because it says it needs the openssl libs even though i can phisically see/verify that they're in the /usr/lib dir... any ideas as to what might be causing this issue and how i can correct it... thanks bruce bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
