I've been trying to install some rpm-pakages on radhat,but I get following error. For example,
%>rpm -ivh --replacepkgs nedit-5.3-1.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /usr/X11R6/bin/nc from install of nedit-5.3-1 conflicts with file from packag
e nedit-5.3-1
file /usr/X11R6/bin/nedit from install of nedit-5.3-1 conflicts with file from pac
kage nedit-5.3-1
file /usr/X11R6/man/man1/nc.1x.gz from install of nedit-5.3-1 conflicts with file
from package nedit-5.3-1
file /usr/X11R6/man/man1/nedit.1x.gz from install of nedit-5.3-1 conflicts with fi
le from package nedit-5.3-1

I have no idea those conflicting files do not even exist. no option of rpm does work.
Could anyone help me out?

Do:
rpm -Uvh ncedit-5.3-1.i386.rpm

instead of -ivh
