well, the version of aspell that I need to upgrade to is only built for contos 5 and I think that is the reason I get that error. it seems that aspell-0.6 is not compiled for centos4 which was strange. here is the error that i get, warning: aspell-0.60.3-7.1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e8562897 error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by aspell-0.60.3-7.1.i386 rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by aspell-0.60.3-7.1.i386 do you think if i rebuild the rpm from scratch it will help ?
