Very Computer

I've basically spent all day resolving the various dependencies. The
package manager (KPackage ) recognizes all the things I've used RPM's
to install. However, one of the final Pan dependencies is a recently
developed library for which there is no RPM (gtkspell-2.0.0).

I've successfully built the library from source, and told make to
install it in both /usr/local and /usr. But when I try to install the
Pan RPM I still get:

<eplacepkgs --test  //home/byoung/pan-0.12.90-1.i686.rpm;echo
RESULT=$?
error: failed dependencies:
        gtkspell >= 2.0.0 is needed by pan-0.12.90-1
        libgtkspell.so.0   is needed by pan-0.12.90-1
RESULT=1

Yet a find returns the following:

Thunder:/ # find -name libgtkspell.so.0
./usr/lib/libgtkspell.so.0
./usr/src/packages/SOURCES/gtkspell-2.0.0/gtkspell/.libs/libgtkspell.so.0
./usr/local/lib/libgtkspell.so.0
Thunder:/ #
Thunder:/ # find -name gtkspell*
./usr/lib/pkgconfig/gtkspell-2.0.pc
./usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gtkspell-2.0.pc
./usr/local/include/gtkspell-2.0
./usr/local/include/gtkspell-2.0/gtkspell
bla, bla, bla...

What am I doing wrong?

How can I get the Package Manager to recognize that a particular
library is in fact available, even though an RPM was not used to
install said library?

Do I have to create an RPM and install it that way?

If so, I need some pointers on how to do that.

TIA for any help.

That would do it. But if the needed resource *is* available, you can
just use rpm --nodeps. The package manager has a data base of the
packages it has installed but it doesn't know about what it hasn't
installed.

http://people.redhat.com/tcallawa/logjam/gtkspell-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm

or

http://people.redhat.com/tcallawa/logjam/gtkspell-2.0.0-1.src.rpm

should work as well on Suse?

"It" being the loader, not rpm.  

        rpm -ivh --nodeps --force package_name

to install it. If you are doing an ungrade, use:

        rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force package_name
