gDesklets dependancies
I tried installing gDesklets, a widget program, but about half way through the configure it said it need gnome-python. So I installed gnome-python, and the same thing happened except for gtk+. Is there any way to get past these dependencies, so I don't have to keep installing more and more.
Thanks in advance

Well if a program is dependant on something then it won't work without it and the only way to change this would be reprogram it.

You can bypass dependencies, but I doubt that the program will work then.
Code:
rpm --nodep -i program.prm |

You have just stumbled upon the biggest (IMHO) stubbling block for linux......Dependency HELL! I wish I knew a quick fix, but I am reasonably sure one doen't exsist. Bypassing the dependencies is a crap shoot at best. I wouldn't mess with it. Just keep tracking down what you need and keep adding to the mix. Eventualy you will get it done.
