[wplug] RPM question - How to make it use a newer libfile thanit's expecting

[Robert E. Coutch]

While Debian folk will tout how they can save you from dependancy hell
I can tell you first hand how easy it is to destroy a Debian installation 
while trying to upgrade or install new software.

If I can't get an RPM to install, I'll usually try building the source tarball
and then use checkinstall to build the rpm.


Hope you get this resolved,

Bob
