Failed dependencies

[Jeff Biss]

Hello All,

I searched all over and found nothing that covered this problem. I just hope I didn't miss it. Here's my question:

I have attempted to install some RPMs and had them fail with the failed dependencies error message. Some packages can be found on Red Hat such as Pythonxxx.rpm but there are files that cannot be found such as libxxx.xx.x. Sometimes the files are on my machine yet the RPM fails to find them even after I "fix" the manager database.

1. Where do I find the missing files/programs? The RPM downloads did not list entire categories of RPMs such as System libraries.

2. Where is the documentation that explicitly details the procedure for providing one's system with all requisite files/programs?

3. How do I point the RPM to files on my system it claims are not there? (I have regenerated the database and this still happens)

I have Red Hat 7 on an Intel based system.

Thanks in advance, Jeff Biss
