Pidgin Install error: Failed dependencies

[ravis007]

Hi,

I am also getting the same error.
I am trying to install the libpurple rpm, which is the dependency for pidgin.
When I enter the below command,

rpm -ivh libpurple-2.7.2-0.el5.i386.rpm

I am getting as

error: Failed dependencies:
libnssutil3.so is needed by libpurple-2.7.2-0.el5.i386

I have googled a lot for the nss-util rpm for RHEL5(I am having RHEL5 on my system),but no luck.
Can anybody please help me to get the nss-util rpm package for RHEL5.
Or please provide me the pointers from where I can get that.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

i think that lib is included in nss-utils:
RPM resource libnssutil3.so

try installing the rpm with yum --localinstall first though as it should attempt to resolve dependencies.

Assuming you have the proper repositories enabled for yum, then yum will happily install any dependencies found as well. The rpm tool isn't quite so cooperative.
