FWIW, there are similar problems trying to install the geda suite on this FC6 box also. IIRC that I tried to update it on the FC5 box, first all of it, then one at a time, and regardless of which I chose to update, this missing dependency struck and prevented the update. I even nuked the existing install, and then it wouldn't let me put it back in. So I'm pretty sure its not even on the lappy anymore. The packages I was trying to install here, and to update on the lappy are in the fedora core (n) extras repo. And tonight, the kit from extras did install on this FC6 box, so let's run some of it. Humm, gschem ran just fine, so maybe it will work this time, and its an FC5 problem only now. The lappy is packed away and its after the witching hour here so I won't check tonight. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
