dependency problem

[Chet Nichols III]

Hey James-
The package you're looking for is "lzo" (yum -y install lzo) - usually I'll
just do a Google search for the library file to see what package it belongs
to. Usually yum should just solve the dependencies, but in this case maybe
not? If 'lzo' doesn't solve it, check and see if there is also an
'lzo-compat' RPM; if the latest version of a package doesn't satisfy the
libraries you need, it's usually due to it being older and requiring that
the *-compat package be installed (ie: if the latest is lib.so.2, but you
need lib.so.1). Of course, that's not always the case, as sometimes it's
looking for a newer file that has yet to be packaged/distributed by the OS
community or vendor.

Hope this helps!

Chet
