If the file exists then you can try running rpm with the -nodeps option.

The RPM program keeps track of all rpm installed libraries/programs in its own
database.  If the original file was never installed via RPM then it was never
registered in the RPM database.  Therefore it has no records of it and thinks it
was never installed.  Using the -nodeps option will force the RPM install to
ignore any dependecy problems.  Therefore make sure that all required files
exist in the right place first!  There is an RPM command that allows you to give
the installation a test run to let you know if there will be any dependecy
problems with the install.  I suggest running this first.

Subject:  Linux 3.7.2 CLient install failure

All,
Just tried to install the Linux TSM client 3.7.2 - I get the following error:-

rpm -i TIVsm-BA-3.7.2.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libXpm.so.4 is needed by TIVsm-BA-3.7.2.0-1

When I search for that file it does exist: -

find / -name  libXpm.so.4 -print

/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libXpm.so.4

Any ideas,

TIA,

Brian
