Hello all,
I am trying to install the realplayer RPM. I keep getting failed dependices:

Found 0 source and 1 binary packages
Dependency Problem:
libICE.so.6 is needed by RealPlayer-8.0-1
libSM.so.6 is needed by RealPlayer-8.0-1
libX11.so.6 is needed by RealPlayer-8.0-1
libXext.so.6 is needed by RealPlayer-8.0-1
libXmu.so.6 is needed by RealPlayer-8.0-1
libXp.so.6 is needed by RealPlayer-8.0-1
libXt.so.6 is needed by RealPlayer-8.0-1
...................................................

The files are there in "/usr/X11/lib", how can I let RPM know that they are there and where to find them???

Thanx skottieb

Hi,

Looking at previous threads, I suppose you're always on Slackware, which doesn't make use of RPMs. Either:

1. &quot;rpm -ivh --nodeps <RealPlayer package>&quot; (to avoid dependencies verification)
or
&quot;rpm -ivh --nodeps --force <RealPlayer package>&quot; (to force install)

2. initialise RPM database if it is not (&quot;rpm --initdb&quot; and so on, &quot;man rpm&quot; for further details), install necessary packages over existing files and then &quot;rpm -ivh <Realplayer RPM>&quot; :-(((

3. &quot;rpm2tgz <RealPlayer RPM>&quot; which creates a .TGZ you can install with pkgtool ))
