It wants the latest libungif rpm from redhat-contrib - I have
Quote:> mjollnir% rpm -q libungif
libungif-4.1.0-1
Of course, other packages want the old libungif.so.3, so after you
install the new libungif, you need to add a link
ln -s /usr/lib/libungif.so.4.1.0 /usr/lib/libungif.so.3
By the way, be careful with the WindowMaker updates. The capitalized
WindowMaker rpm puts things in completely different places than the
old WindowMaker 0.20 that came with RH 5.2, and also omits all the
pixmaps for your icons that normally are available from the
extra tarball you get from the WindowMaker site. There is another
windowmaker-0.51 rpm (not capitalized) which puts things more like
RedHat has them, but that one seems to have a broken OPEN_MENU
command which doesn't allow the standard RH wmconfig to generate
a menu of programs. A workaround is to generate the program listing
by hand using wmconfig, then install that list directly into a
~/GNUStep/Library/WindowMaker/menu file, and set
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu to look at that file.
At least, that's what I had to do. Good luck.
