When an rpm "requires" a specific lib, it is most likely pulled in by rpm's "Automatic Dependencies" checking. You can turn that off, of course, but that could potentially lead to broken dependencies
I have had a lot of third party source rpm's that won't build unless I comment out the appropriate require lines. Of course I only do it if I know for certain that the required packages are installed. Charles -- "We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."
