If you still need a newer package, try first to install your version on a fresh install on centos and solve the dependencies. Make notes on what you changed and then replace all the rpms you changed on the install cd. or you can make your own yum repo and install the packages from the repo after the install using yum update. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
