Everytime I install an RPM on on my mandrake 7.1 system I seem to get some lib dependancy error. that is fine, I download the lib and install it. However, after the lib installation, I still get a dependancy error. Do I have to do something with my libs after I install them in order for them to be recognized? For instance, I installed libgtk+ and the Cheops rpm couldnt find it. Is there something obvious here I am missing?
