Slackware comes with the RPM utility, but whenever I try to install an RPM package, it tells me I am missing a number of dependencies that I know for a fact are on my system. For example, I tried to install emacspeak. I downloaded the RPM and it gave me about 6 or so error messages about failed dependencies. I then downloaded the .tar.gz package and built the source code. It worked just fine, and I hadn't installed the dependencies, as I knew they were already on my system. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to install these RPM files?
