Re: RedHat 7.1 + Ximian problems?

[Joel Brissenden <jb whatiflinux com>]

I'm using RedHat 7.1 and yes, I did have problems in getting the installer
to complete. It eventually downloaded all of the packages but kept giving
me an error about dependency conflict. An easy way to skip past the installer
is to cd to /var/cache/redcarpet/packages  and install with rpm -Uvh
*rpm
although this is too easy isn't it? well, the installer was right about
complaining about deps, so I went ahead and used rpm -Uvh --force *rpm 
and everything works fine.

something safer to try would be "rpm -Uv gnome-core-(version).rpm"(and with any other packages in the list you want to try).
that will probably yield some of the errors the ximian installer saw, and you can figure out what needs to be done to fix them.
