> Why do you have two freetypes installed? That shouldn't be possible. They should have conflicting files. Fix this first.
One is likely i386 and the other x86_64 ...
The first thing I do when I install an x86_64 machine is exclude
*.i[3456]86 in the yum.conf file. (If I have to run i386 things, I
install an i386 machine ... but that is just me). I then remove all
i[3,4,5,6] packages and only install update x86_64 packages. I
understand that some people have to have x86_64 workstations for certain
things (cad/video editing, etc.) where they need > 8 GB RAM and the
things x86_64 can do there. They also need some i386 packages (like
firefox) since x86_64 alternatives are not good or not available. In
these cases, you need to keep as minimal a number if i386 packages on
your machine as you possibly can. Again, this is my opinion ... others
might have a different one.
If you want to see the arch of all packages with rpm queries, create a
file called .rpmmacros in a users home dir and add this line:
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
Then when you do "rpm -q" queries, you will see things like this:
rpm -q freetype
freetype-2.1.9-8.el4.6.x86_64
freetype-2.1.9-8.el4.6.i386
(this was just an example from a c4 machine ... package versions not
relevant to this thread :D )
