installing centericq failed dependencies

[HadroLepton]

i'm trying to install centericq (http://konst.org.ua/en/centericq) on fedora 3

rpm -U centericq-4.13.0-1.i386.rpm

but then i get following error

error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is needed by centericq-4.13.0-1.i386
libssl.so.0.9.7 is needed by centericq-4.13.0-1.i386

i searched around and found that both libcrypto and libssl are provided by the package openssl. which i have installed

# rpm -q openssl
openssl-0.9.7a-40

# rpm -q --provides openssl
config(openssl) = 0.9.7a-40
libcrypto.so.4
libssl.so.4
openssl = 0.9.7a-40

seem like that both packages are installed.
help?

The problem lies in that your version of openssl proviedes the file libssl.so.4 and the rpm you are tying to install needs libssl.so.0.9.7, there is a strong possibility that they are the same file. You either need to find a copy of libssl that provides libssl.so.0.9.7, i wouldn't recomend it as some other packages need it and they will be broken, find a version of centericq that rquires libss.so.4, try compiling from source if possible the link provedid was broken so could not help.

$updatedb ( this updates your local database of files, it will take a while )
$locate libssl.so.4

this will bring up the location of the file, some thing like
/usr/share/lib/libss.so.4

assuming that it is in /usr/share/lib replace as required

try
$ cd /usr/share/lib
$ ln -s libssl.so.4 libssl.0.9.7 ( i can never remeber which way round the command goes you should end up with a link to libssl.so.4 if not but the file names the other way round)

Hope this helps, its probalbly the wrong way to do it but its what i'd do.

thanks for the reply

i did updatedb then locate libssl and found, among others
/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a
/lib/libssl.so.4
as it turns out the libssl.so.4 is a symlink to libssl.so.0.9.7a

(all actions same for libcrypto)

i made a symlink
libssl.so.0.9.7 -> libssl.so.0.9.7a
then i tried
libssl.0.9.7 -> libssl.so.0.9.7a
both to no avail

as a workaround i tried to force the installation of centericq

rpm -U --nodeps centericq-4.13.0-1.i386.rpm
(--nodeps tells rpm to ignore dependencies)

and centericq works. seems like the missing dependencies are some quirk from rpm
