Installation Failed

[karunesh]

Hi All..

Today I was trying to install Gaim (gaim-1.5.0-0rh9.i386.rpm) on my notebook which is having CentOS 4.2 installed. When I run the RPM installtion I got the failed dependencies error..

[root@ksnb]# rpm -ivh gaim-1.5.0-0rh9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libpspell-modules.so.1 is needed by gaim-1.5.0-0rh9.i386
libpspell.so.4 is needed by gaim-1.5.0-0rh9.i386

Then I downloded the RPM (pspell-0.12.2-16.1.i386.rpm) and tried installing this, but then there was another error..

[root@ksnb]# rpm -ivh pspell-0.12.2-16.1.i386.rpm
warning: pspell-0.12.2-16.1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /usr/bin/pspell-config from install of pspell-0.12.2-16.1 conflicts with file from package aspell-0.50.5-3.fc3

So now I am stuck what to do as aspell is already installed there and I can not remove this as it required by lots of other applications..

[root@ksnb]# rpm -qa | grep spell
aspell-en-0.51-11
aspell-0.50.5-3.fc3
gtkspell-2.0.7-2
openoffice.org-spellcheck-2.0.0-3
gnome-spell-1.0.5-9
[root@ksnb]# rpm -e aspell

aspell >= 0.50 is needed by (installed) aspell-en-0.51-11.i386

So now how to proceed : ?. Any suggestions..

Try using a package manager, like SMART, it will handle the package dependencies for you, and save you from dependency hell.
