It's easy to forget that YDL is based on CentOS which is designed to be two or three versions behind the latest bleeding edge releases of Linux in the effort to maintain stability. Therefore supporting rpms are likewise not in the latest versions either.<BR>

So if you are building any applications from source you need to make sure that you also build from source all related rpms, but before all that you also need to remove from YDL the rpms of dependencies and applications which are already installed which you intend to replace. I've gotten caught by this requirement myself several times. This whole process is rather tedious but if you get through it all, you will have eventually what you want as you want it.<BR>
