Re: ORBit RPM troubles

[Rémi Cohen-Scali <Remi Cohen-Scali com>]

Try these ones:
http://www.rcsnet.net/pub/Gnome/gnome-1.4.1+/SRPMS/ORBit-0.5.12-gnome141.src.rpm
http://www.rcsnet.net/pub/Gnome/gnome-1.4.1+/RPMS/i686/ORBit-0.5.12-gnome141.i686.rpm
http://www.rcsnet.net/pub/Gnome/gnome-1.4.1+/RPMS/i686/ORBit-devel-0.5.12-gnome141.i686.rpm

perhaps they will fix your problems ...
good luck
