Thanks rpm by itself does not have an option to install all dependacies. Mandrake Linux distribution has a took, afaik, that handles this problem. It's called something like irpm, or nrpm, or prpm, or something like that. :) RedHat 8.0's rpm can suggest you what packages to install. If you don't have any of the above, you can still hack something up, if you have access to a full list of RPMs. I'd say you need to use --qf (query format) option to do that. -- Best regards, Leonid Mamtchenkov, RHCE System Administrator Francoudi & Stephanou Ltd.
