It seems my Mandrake names libraries slightly different that what your Fedora does - I kind of expected this to happen. Could you try fetching the source RPM package (the one with .src.rpm extension) and rebuilding it into a binary package on your system ? It should be as simple as running
rpmbuild --rebuild hobbit-4.0RC6-4.src.rpmand after a while it should generate an installable hobbit*.i386.rpm in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
That worked, thanks for your help. I didn't realize that it would put the files in different directories than /home/hobbit/ so I had a little trouble with that. But I finally blew the contents of that directory away and did a fresh install and it became clear. Oh well, it's a test box after all.
Would you like the RPM I built, Henrik?
