    Thanks for the tips. Unfortunatley, the file I need to install is the
    latest version. It's beta 1 code. I'll try the links and such..

    Thanks again,
    Ryan

    Ryan,
    That's a lot of broken files to deal with. Unless of course, you want
    to downgrade all those too. If you use --force or --nodeps, some bad
    things could happen, as Carlos pointed out.
     
    I think the first thing I would do is try making a symlink of the needed

    library to the newer one. This may or may not work. Many times the
    program still won't see it due to it not being registered in the rpm
    database. Another trick you might use is to build the symlink into the
    rpm you want to install. You will have to recompile and alter the spec
    file from the src rpm, but it's a quick fix you can do.
     
    Also, if this program you are wanting to install needs such old files,
    you may do well to recompile it to your newer system or get an updated
    version of the file to compile.
     
    cheers,
    Lee
