[lug] rpm trouble

Mon Oct 22 14:49:01 MDT 2001

I'm trying to install python 2.1 using the rpm approach on Redhat 7.0
(python2-2.1.1-3.i386.rpm) and I'm coming across some errors. Bascially it
says I do not have some dependencies needed by rpm.

error: failed dependencies:
        libcrypto.so.1 is needed by python2-2.1.1-3
        libexpat.so.0 is needed by python2-2.1.1-3
        libssl.so.1 is needed by python2-2.1.1-3

Apparently I am not the only one running into this issue. Have any of you
run into these problems and perhaps have a solution? I would appreciate
any advice.

Thanks in advance! -Scott
