Hi Lee, My Linux distribution's administration tool (SuSE's YaST) resolves all dependencies for me and installs everything I need so I don't have to worry about this stuff. What distro are you using? Command line RPM software installations can be rather irritating. Find the GUI RPM tool that will take care of this for you. Post your distro (and if you are using Gnome or KDE) and someone should be able to help you out. Remember this thumbrule: Unix has been around for over 30 years. If you are having a hard time doing something, you are doing it wrong because the problem has most likely been solved before.
