This one will be very hard to do if you assume things. Like that we know what your home machine looks like. If was you, I would volunteered following information: CentOS vps is version 5.?? with following third person repositories active (guess because you have dependency issues) , and my home machine is ???? Linux system version ??? with following repositories active. Have you looked at packages (and their versions!) needed to compile that app in the README file? I notice you are one of developers but guess you do not have much rpm experience. I can see SRPMS for Fedora 14, 15 and 16 (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/14/SRPMS/liblouis-2.2.0-2.fc14.src.rpm) and I wonder why would you want to compile it from scratch when recompiling it would be much better. I am going to try to recompile Fedora SRPM and see what is the problem. Ljubomir
