Hi All,

I am in the process of setting up MythTV on my current FC3 server that I 
have, and I need a small bit of advice.
I have a dependency that needs to be installed but am not sure if I just 
need to force it to install, or not. The dependency is 
"libfreetype6_2.1.9-1%5f4.rhfc3.at_i386.rpm" and I believe that it is 
needed to install the x server on this box. When I go to install it I 
get the following error.

Install failed :

    file /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.7 from install of 
libfreetype6-2.1.9-1_4.rhfc3.at conflicts with file from package 
freetype-2.1.9-1

I don't what to force it to install in case I break something else. (I 
am learning from past mistakes ;)

I intend to use this specific machine as a backend server, and have 
another box for doing the front end watching. But for the "Prof of 
concept" (read I can get the thing installed and working ;) I will most 
likely end up getting x installed and working at this stage on this box.

So, should I force the install or not. If not, what should I do?

Thanks in advance

Neil
