Re: Newbie question, installing hugs on redhat 7.2

I downloaded the file hugs98-Dec2001-1.i386.rpm onto the freshly-installed red hat 7.1 (no other software has been installed). It complains that libreadline.so.4 is needed. The system has the package readline-4.1-9 installed which provides libreadline.so.4.1. It appears to require exactly libreadline.so.4 (not >= 4).

Try making a symbolic link from libreadline.so.4 to libreadline.so.4.1, i.e. cd /usr/lib; ln -s libreadline.so.4.1 libreadline.so.4 Regards, Malcolm
