Hi,
Aaron: according to the recipients ("To:"), you sent this to rhl-list, according to the other headers ("Received:") directly to me. You may need to fix your Lotus notes settings.

I'm trying to install the 'metacity-2.4.55-6' or 'metacity-2.5.3-3' rpms on Red Hat 8.0 but they both have several dependancies:
error: Failed dependencies: libXrandr.so.2 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6 libstartup-notification-1.so.0 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6 redhat-artwork >= 0.62 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6
Of coarse, when I try to install those packages, they in turn have dependencies and so on... could anyone please tell me what i'm doing wrong or if there is a different approach I should be taking?
You try to install Rawhide -- very much post-9 -- packages on 8.0. You need at least Red Hat Linux 9, possibly with updates to fulfil the above dependencies. It isn't "guaranteed" to work even on 9 -- it may do, but it may also fail.
