The libraries you need are almost certainly available in FC5 but in differently-named packages. The necessary library dependencies should be automatically generated at package build time and the xorg-x11-deprecated-libs dependency is redundant (and in this case, harmful). If that's the *only* dependency that rpm complains about, you'll probably find that it works if you install it using the "--nodeps" option to RPM. But it would be better to get the packager to fix the package so that it doesn't have this dependency in the first place. Paul.
