Thanks to Paul Klapperich's suggestion, I was able to use 'alien' to<br>create an RPM file out of the DEB file. Now I am back in dependency<br>hell. Xephyr depends on<br>error: Failed dependencies:<br>
libXau.so.6 is needed by xserver-xephyr-1.1.1-21<br> libXdmcp.so.6 is needed by xserver-xephyr-1.1.1-21<br> libfontenc.so.1 is needed by xserver-xephyr-1.1.1-21<br>even after installing libXdmcp-1.0.1</blockquote>
<div><br>Actually, I still think you should have used yum. Yum is akin to Debian's aptitude and will resolve dependencies and download packages automagically. I really don't feel you should be using RHE or Fedora without Yum configured.
Once Yum is setup properly--use Google or your Redhat, Redhat support, or some of the Redhat community guides that I'm sure exist--Vladislav provided the yum commandline that will install xephyr and all required dependencies in his post to your message titled. I'm not sure which Redhat your using, so I don't feel confident giving you specific instructions myself--I've never used Redhat on a regular basis.

rpmfinder.net</a>. To start you off, here's libXau[1]. Besure you grab the right one for your distribution. Repeat with the next library. Yum would have done this for you.<br><br>[1]http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=
