failed dependencies

[dylan_101]

I try:

rpm -i libgr-progs-2.0.13-23.i386.rpm

and get:

error: failed dependencies
libpbm.so.1 is needed by ....
libppm.so.1 is needed by ....etc.


The thing is, I've got the libpbm.so.1 files located in the /lib/ directory, and i'm running this rpm from the /lib/ directory as well.

Why does it say the file is needed if I already have it !?!?...

heeeelp ! :confused:

Did you just install the package containing libpbm.so before this? If so, you either need to reboot or run ldconfig to update your libs.

If that's not the problem, I'm not sure so maybe someone else has some idea.

Ensure the paths to those libraries are in /etc/ld.so.conf. In any case, as already suggested, run ldconfig.
