Thanks, Martin & Godfrey. I'm concerned whether the --nodeps option will
allow abiword to work correctly, so I'm not going to go that way.
I've got RH 7.1, but I've kept it updated. I think I've got everything that
RHN provides, which should get me mighty close to 7.2, but I don't know if
the up2date software overlooks some packages.
I tried further searching using "gal rpm" on the RH search Web site and
found http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/GByName.html . This contains
gal-{,devel-}0.14-{ximian.2,1}. There's also a gal-static-0.14-1 but I think
I'll skip that one. This narrows gal down to ximian or not-ximian, but the
not-ximian doesn't specify Redhat. They're labeld "PLDtest." Is there any
reason I should favor one over the other? I don't have packages labeled
ximian installed at this time. On that rpmfind.net site, both RH 7.1 and RH
7.2 versions existed. I downloaded all the Redhat 7.2 ximian versions even
though I'm not technically using 7.2. Should I download the 7.1 versions
instead?
Searching similarly for libgal, I found
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/conectiva/7.0/LByName.html . This contained
several possible files: one libgal file, three libgal5 files, and three
libgal7 files. That one libgal file was libgal-i18n-0.7-2cl. It seems to be
related to the libgal7 files. Just to help drive me nuts, the libgal5 files
have a 19 Jun 2001 build date and provide libgal.so.4, and the libgal7 files
have a 28 Apr 2001 build date and provide libgal.so.61. So, libgal5 was built
later than libgal7 yet has the earlier libgal.so file, as expected. Yet,
neither of these have libgal.so.11. So, I went to the rpmfind.net search page
and asked for "libgal.so.11". It came up with 19 rpm files, mostly ximian.
Among those was a Redhat 7.1 & a Redhat 7.2 file. Keeping consistent with
what I've already downloaded, I took the 7.2 ximian file.
Trying to install the libgal11 revealed that I needed libgnomeprint15, so I
have more downloading to do. This will get me started.
