This rpm complains about the perllocal.pod conflicting with perllocal.pod in Video-DVDRip-0.50.18-0.pm.0. Any suggestions on how to install? Thanks!

The package will not install with those files conflicting. That is what I get when I do rpm -Uvh gaim*.i586.rpm. No, I do not want to do a --nodeps or --force install of gaim. I may just have to get the SuSE spec file and try to compile it that way. Thanks!

it would be much easier just to compile the sources from gaim. you just need the gtk headers, pkgconfig and that would be all if i remember correctly. then just a configure, make, make install and end of stress.

For personal use, use checkinstall instead of make install - it does the same job, but inserts a basic entry into the rpm database so that you can (for example) uninstall cleanly, and use it for other dependencies.
