I totally agree about the Windows DLL horrors. It can easily become a
nightmare, especially if you've ever developed apps using Visual Basic and
you try to distribute the setup programs...OMG!
All the responses make sense and now I understand the reasoning behind the
rpm madness. hehe
tHaNkS!
Happy newbie

PM Subject: Why are apps made the way
they are?
** Newbie alert! Newbie alert! **
After trying to install a bunch of small games and/or apps I come to
realize that I am missing half of the libraries required on my system for
these games to work. For example I'm trying to install TuxRacer...LOL for
my wife...yea right..and I get the following:
error: failed dependencies:
libSDL-1.1.so.0 is needed by tuxracer-0.61-2
libSDL_mixer-1.1.so.0 is needed by tuxracer-0.61-2
...so I assume I need to install those other things first. But that isn't
my problem, my beef is why don't rpm files have all the libraries included
in them? Wouldn't that make our lives easier? I am I the only one who
finds this strange? Perhaps there is a logical explanation to this
madness.
Please explain.
Frowning newbie.
