Ian,

Can you tell me exactly how do you generate the rpms (what commands,
make what? :-) ). I have tryed from the sources
(Squeak-3.4-gamma1.src.tar.gz), but had no luck so far... I'm trying to
fix this dependency problem too.

Regards,

Marcelo.

Chris,

Run rpm in query mode with the --provides option and the name of a
package
as argument. For example:

grimmy:~$ rpm -q --provides glibc | grep libm
libm.so.6
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
grimmy:~$

I now have a few ideas about how this might be fixed. I'll try them for
the next build. (In the meantime, `--nodeps' is your friend. ;)

Regards,
Ian
