I'm trying to install the evolution-1.0.8-1.ximian.1.i386.rpm email programrpm on linux 7.2. One of the dependenies it needs is bonobo >= 1.0.19 which has a dependency of "libxml >= 1.8.15 is needed by bonobo-1.0.20-1.ximian.7"
When I try this " rpm -Uvh libxml-1.8.17-3.i386.rpm " I get "error: failed dependencies:
libxml = 1.8.14 is needed by libxml-devel-1.8.14-2"
I can't find an rpm called libxml 1.8.14. I have libxml 1.8.14-2 installed already. Could someone please help me figure out what this means or how to fix it.

Thanks

I suggest getting the Red Carpet (http://www.ximian.com/products/ximian_red_carpet/download.html) for easy installation and uninstallation of packages with dependency resolution. Launch it and subscribe to the Ximian Gnome desktop channel and install it from there.

It's sort of like a "Windows update" but for rpms.

To me, it reads you already have XML library 1.8.14
You just need to upgrade your libxml-devel (to me, it reads
XML development library) to solve the above dependency.

Hope this makes sense to you.
