RPM dependacy installed but not recognized

[HighOrbit]

I just upgraded a RH6.2 to 7.3. The box has a fairly recent mozilla (1.3) installed from a source compile. I was suprised to see that the upgrade did not add nautilus, so I tried to add it via "rpm -ivh nautilus*".

I got several dependacy errors, all of which have been resolved except one.

Nautilus depends on nautilus-mozilla and nautilus-mozilla (of course) depends on mozilla => 0.9.3. The problem is that I got mozilla 1.3 installed by a source compile.

Is there any way to tell rpm where to find my mozilla 1.3 files? Or am I going to have to install Mozilla 0.9.3? I'm affraid that installing the older version will cause problems with my newer version.

I would hate to have uninstall the new one, install the old, and then upgrade again.

Thanks

I don't think that the new mozilla will be installed in the same directory where the old mozilla is. They always get installed in different dirs, at least Mozilla..

In the worst case, you can use this program I've heard about, called checkinstall
You can download it here:

And then install it.
Although I have never used it, I suppose you should do the following (with the checkinstall already installed correctly into your system):
1) Uninstall the mozilla 1.3
2) Go to the directory with the source code of it
3) Type # ./configure then # make then # checkinstall
According to what I read, the program will you let you choose to convert the mozilla into a rpm and it will install it.

NOTE: I'm not sure that's going work, neither am I sure that that's is the best thing to do, I'm just saying that in case your desperate, there's that option.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I ended up just installing the 0.9.3 rpm. It didn't conflict with the 1.3 install and it solved the dependacy.
