Re: Dependent libraries from IBM Viavoice in Emacspeak's RPM

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

apologies if my message came across as brusque.  There is
very little one can do in the presence of so many variations
the binary rpm depending on libibmeci.so appears to be a
"feature" of the newer rpm that I'd gladly undo if I knew
how.

The answer therefore is not to build multiple versions of
the rpm --the answer is to ensure that the emacspeak binary
rpm doesn't end up thinking it depends on libibmeci.so
--however there is some black magic in rpm that 
causes it to add that dependency and I dont have the time to
go chase it down.


If you are concerned about this problem I suggest you fool
around with rpm and find out how the dependency gets added
and how it can be avoided --

No, T.V., again you're wrong in your assumptions. I installed with no
problems, but I was worrying about others who could stumble over this
easily. No packing around!!!
Warmest,
