i don't remember for libRKC but the others could be found thru rpmfind.ne=
t=20

Canna :

Canna-3.5b2-58.ppc.rpm  Canna-devel-3.5b2-58.ppc.rpm =20
Canna-libs-3.5b2-58.ppc.rpm

FWnn :

FreeWnn-common-1.11-19.ppc.rpm  FreeWnn-libs-1.11-19.ppc.rpm =20

You may alos encountered some circular dependencies...

in such a situation, someone gave me a trick :

put the circularely dependent rpm's files alone into a folder, cd into it=
 and=20
type rpm -ivh *rpm ...

they are a number of descrepencies with rpm and apt-get under ydl 2.3.
before 2.3 i had a 2.1 upgraded by apt-get to 2.2 works fine BUT, afterwa=
rds=20
trying to had something new with apt-get destroy previous install...

this is not necessarely related to rpm because other people from debian-w=
oody=20
have the same kind of probs....
