Re: Rpm dependency

Tried this


Gomez:/home/bombay # rpm -qf /lib/libc.so.6
shlibs-2.1.3-58 

And also the force option.



Gomez:/home/bombay # rpm -i gnucash-1.4.9-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by gnucash-1.4.9-1
Gomez:/home/bombay # rpm -i --force gnu
error: cannot open file gnu: No such file or directory
Gomez:/home/bombay # rpm -i --force gnucash-1.4.9-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by gnucash-1.4.9-1
Gomez:/home/bombay #  


There is an src.rpm version of Gnucash but I have not done any compiling
before.
