The package you are trying to install is lacking some dependencies. Install this version of irssi and this version of gc (if you don't have it already installed).

Go to www.pbone.net and search for the packages to satisfy the dependencies.

The bad thing with RPM's is other required updates... such as GCC and such. A handy tool or updater that will fix this problem can be located here:

 

[/url][url=http://apt.freshrpms.net]http://apt.freshrpms.net

 

This is a tool called apt-get. Read about it, when you need an RPM all you need to do is:

 

Quote:apt-get install "package you want"
 

This will install the package, and all related packages you need.

 

*Note: This tool is not a standard part of RH/Fedora.

I prefer yum (which is a standard part of Fedora). B)

I get this when try'n the -f option in apt-get install.
