Loading packages

Loading packages

[Doug]

I am running FC-1 with kernel 2.4.22.2174.nptl. When I tried to load a 
couple of
development packages, the system told me it could not find libxml2. I tried to
load it from the cd, and then the system said that the package was already in
the system is was newer then the one I was trying to load. In other words,  it
looks like the package I wanted to load required the old copy. The new one must
of been picked up by YUM.

The question is, how do I go about doing this. Do I remove the new rpm, 
reload the
old and then load the application that I wanted? Then, reload the newer 
rpm??? What
I am afraid of, is that if I do this, it will come back with other files it 
needs.

What is the best way of doing this??

Thanks

If the error message when trying to install the development packages
did not mention a specific version of libxml2, I suspect the problem is that 
it really wants libxml2-devel installed not a version mismatch of libxml2.
