That means, that the package `transfig' should be installed too.

Perhaps you could make that list: rpm -qa \ | sed 's/\(.*\)-\([0-9.]*\)-\([0-9]*\)/\1 @@@\2-\3/' \ | tr '@' '\t' \ | sort and post it on the web? > I hightly suggest anyone to try at rplay10 (RH8) Erh, isn't rplay10 also a Red Hat 9 machine: cholm@rplay10:~> cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) > or rplay15 and rplay21 (RH9). > > It is still unclear if we get Redhat 8 or 9 (depending on Star > and/or Phenix), but the upgrade will start at the end of August. If *I* was the BOFH (Bastard Operator From Hell), I'd just install Red Hat 9, and be done with it.
