Hi!
I have problems in installation of GRASS on Conectiva Linux 8.0 (brazilian distribution based on Red Hat Linux).
When I use command “rpm -ivh grass-5.0.0-1.i386.rpm” then I have a problem of dependence.
Grass can´t be installed because there aren´t “libgd.so.1.8” however, the library is installed in my linux.
If I install Grass using “-nodeps”, would I have problems ? Somebody would have another option?
Thanks !

Maybe the RPM database doesn't know that libgd.so.1.8 is installed.
Perhaps it wasn't installed from an RPM, or the RPM specifies a
different name. E.g. for the "gd" RPM from RedHat 6.2:
$ rpm -q --provides gd
libgd.so.1
libgd.so.1(GCC.INTERNAL)
gd = 1.3-6
$ rpm -ql gd
/usr/doc/gd-1.3
/usr/doc/gd-1.3/index.html
/usr/doc/gd-1.3/readme.txt
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.2

Use "-nodeps".
Note that the GD library is only used by the PNG driver; even if your
GD library isn't compatible, the rest of GRASS will still work.
