Actually, now that I take a closer look, the main dependencies are: freetype-devel startup-notification-devel pango-devel libgnome-devel libXt-devel gtk2-devel libjpeg-devel libgnomeui-devel libIDL-devel libXrender-devel gnome-vfs2-devel alsa-lib-devel libnotify-devel Then these start pulling in their own dependencies and I wind up with a list of 43 new packages being installed for dependencies. I just find this really strange since none of these were required for the previous version. -- Bowie
