I have been trying all day to install xemacs on my RH 5.0 with a singular
lack of success due to the above message.

First I tried the xemacs .rpm's off the RH5.0 PowerTools CD, then the ones
I laboriously downloaded from /pub/contrib/i386 on the Red Hat ftp site.
Both had the same problem, though since each was a slightly different
version that final text varied a little..

I tried searching the mail list archives but that facility is currently
not available.

I tried deja news and found several claims that the xemacs in
contrib/hurricane/i386 would install clean on RH 5.0 so I downloaded that
one, but it too displayed an obsession with libpng.so.0. Looking at Deja
News once more I re-read the messages and noticed that the problems
referenced there were looking for libpng.so.1 rather than .0 as in my
case. /usr/lib contains neither .0 or .1, just libpng.so.2.1.0 and various
links to it.

When I do a rpm -q libpng I see that I have libpng-1.0.1-1 installed, and
checking the errata pages I see no update to what must have been installed
with RH5.0.

Anybody have the answer on installing Xemacs 20.x on RH 5.0?
