Re: Installing XFree86 4.3 on RHL 7.3

    ttmkfdir was from the freetype rpm but was moved to 
XFree86-font-utils-4.2.0... and then I don't know where it went.  Perhaps 
if you save a copy of /usr/bin/ttmkfdir, remove XFree86-font-utils, and 
copy ttmkfdir back you can fool rpm into doing what you want without using
--force.  Then install the new XFree86-font-utils.
   For kernel-drm 4.3 see 
http://rpmfind.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/linux/RPM/PLD/people/djrzulf/dc/kernel-drm-2.4.20-6.i686.html
   RedHat9 has pkgconfig-0.14.0-3, and it is also what uses XFree86 4.3;  
so you could get the pkgconfig source and build an rpm appropriate for RHL
7.3.  But it may be less trouble to upgrade to RH9.
