[LUNI] dependency madness

[Richard Reina]

Unfortuantely not. I'm running Centos 4.3.  and like you I am not ready to upgrade.  Is there anything else short of an upgrade that I can do?

   Someone with more experience should comment as I never used Centos, 
but I suspect this is an OS version related problem. My experience is 
mainly with distributions based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I have a 
3.x version at home and was unable to build PDFEditor at home because I 
had older versions of various packages. I could not get new enough 
versions of the packages with yum as for that release I was already up 
to date. Manually trying to download and update packages didn't work 
either as it would have broken dependencies for other installed 
packages. If I would have upgraded to 5.x, then I suspect the problem 
would have gone away but I am not quite ready to do that (maybe in a few 
more months). Are you running the latest version of Centos?

It appears to be cutting edge, atleast to the point that I can't use yum -- I am running Centos.  As a result I use the cvs version run the ./bootstrap and then configure.  Configure give me this error:
