Hi,

I've been having a real hard time simply upgrading GAIM (0.75 to
0.78).
I've had a sting of dependencies that I just can't seem to complete.

I'm running Redhat 9 on dual Xeon's
Kernel 2.4.20-30.9smp

rpm -Uhv gaim-0.78-0rh9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        gtkspell is needed by gaim-0.78-0rh9
        libgtkspell.so.0 is needed by gaim-0.78-0rh9

....ok, so then I try...
rpm -Uhv gtkspell-2.0.4-0.1.fc2.dag.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by gtkspell-2.0.4-0.1.fc2.dag
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by
gtkspell-2.0.4-0.1.fc2.dag

....ok, so then I try...
rpm -Uhv glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7.i386.rpm
package glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7 is already installed

Urrrugghh!!!
I've also tried to install gtkspell from the tar distribution
....was told I needed gtk+-2.0
....so I tried to install gtk+-2.0 (2.4.3 tar distribution)
....was told I needed to install atk
....so I tried to install atk (1.6.0 tar distribution)
....was told I needed glib 2.0.0 or better
....so I tried to install glib (2.4.2 tar distribution)
....looked like it worked, then I tried to install atk again
....now I get 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.4.2, but
GLIB (2.2.1) was found!

Can it really be this hard?  Please help before I chuck my system out
a 4 story window!!!!
