No, that doesn't seem to be the problem. further digging: # locate gtkhtml-editor <snip> /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-editor.so /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-editor.so.0 /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-editor.so.0.0.0 <snip> # yum list installed | grep -y gtkhtml gtkhtml3.x86_64 3.32.2-2.el6 @base gtkhtml3-devel.x86_64 3.32.2-2.el6 @base # rpm -ql gtkhtml3.x86_64 | grep libgtkhtml-editor /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-editor-3.14.so.0 /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-editor-3.14.so.0.0.0 So the file is there, and it came from a RPM file properly installed from the Centos "base" repo. so, why won't yum divulge that RPM as the source of the .so file when I do: yum whatprovides */libgtkhtml-editor.so.0 ????? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." --------------------------- Corinthians 5:21 ---------------------------------
