RE: Gnome1.0 RPMs

[jason whizzird net]

this isn't the correct way to do it, but it works. if you have
all the rpms then add --nodeps.
the correct way to do it would be to explicitly install those first.
rpm -Uhv guile* glib* gnome*lib* gtk* *rpm
this will make it install those libs before they're needed as dependencies.
the --nodeps way should be avoided though, because if you're missing a file or
library and it's not just an order issue, it won't tell you. but if the only
missing errors you get are those, it won't hurt. (that's how i do it).
