YDL4 (was Re: unable to install Klash...)

[Norberto Quintanar]

Paul I spent yestersday looking at my notes and realized that it's
virtually impossible.  When YDL switched to 4.1 they changed the
library dependencies from the ones they used in 4.0.  Two ther guys
and myself tried to get this going but you ended up in YUM depencies
hell.  I tried a work around using apt-get and completely fried my
install.  So I gave up.
