Tried it w/ no luck so far. I tryied rpm -l first, but that got me
an error message (unknown switch). I opened the rpm in
Midnight Commander and saw there were a few files in
there including Install and Upgrade. I made the mistake of
clicking on Upgrade to see what else might be there, and of
course it went ahead and upgraded! :-) I haven't tried the
Install option yet - I was hoping that might just install the new
version & leave the old one intact. I'm not sure what you mean
by "extracting" libjpeg.so.62 from the rpm - how does one do
this?
Thanks,
Mike

Nope, that won't work. In general, *never* do such links manually. Try if
you can install the rpm with 'rpm -I'. If that fails, I'd just extract
libjpeg.so.62 from the rpm (I'd use mc) and put it somwhere the dynamic
linker will find it (paths listed in /etc/ld.so.conf). Run ldconfig
afterwards and all should be well.
