It is a 64 bit system. Here's what I just tried:
[root at HJDMyth lib64]# rpm -qa |grep libraw1394
libraw1394-1.2.1-1.fc6
libraw1394-1.3.0-1.el5
libraw1394-1.3.0-1.el5
[root at HJDMyth lib64]# rpm -e --allmatches libraw1394-1.3.0-1.el5
error: Failed dependencies:
libraw1394.so.8 is needed by (installed)
kdebase-3.5.4-18.el5.centos.i386
I don't even have Myth installed yet. I want to make sure I have
everything solid before I put it back on (networking, sound, video
drivers, firewire, etc). Just to minimize the "gotchas".
Thanks for the help!
Harry
