Hey, good find mandika... Emmanuel, you should start using "apt-get" for Red Hat. You will never see another "failed dependency" message again... It is so easy to use...... Go here: http://apt.freshrpms.net/. Just: cd /to/directory/where/apt/is su rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr2.i386.rpm Assuming that is the name of the file you downloaded.... Then run: apt-get update you'll have to be root I believe... Then, say... If you are trying to install mplayer, just: apt-get install mplayer No work involved.... All the RPM's will be stored in: /var/cache/apt/archives if you want to back them up on a later install... Just throw them back in that directory and run the install again and they are all there... Dependency Hell is a thing of the past with apt-get. There is also a front-end GUI called synaptic. Just: apt-get install synaptic then run "synaptic" at a prompt... I like using the terminal better but at least you can see what you can get with synaptic... Jon

Hi Very very thanks for the mail. Even though I use Redhat for years, I hear it now. I wonder how come this is not knowing to me. I was wondering like how other guys install something. I felt like hell when I had to deal with failed dependencies. Thanks very much . Let me go and get it and try bye Thanks a lot.
