> Great. Then show me where in RH9 is libfribidi. Thank you. ;)
(Mostly to M. Fioretti, since I figure Rui knows this:)
1. That rawhide directory has become Fedora Core 1. We support that
redhat provided fribidi rpm on Fedora.
Note: RawHide is always about the NEW upcoming redhat release, and is
NOT supposed to work on already released RedHat Linux versions in any
sort of way.
2. RedHat 8 and 9 do NOT ship fribidi in any way. We support the fribidi
rpm provided by the frididi team.
Sounds sane to me.. :)
