Installation on fedore 7 and 8



Hi,

I tried installing maxima on my 64 bit fedora 8 box, following the 
instructions, and got:

# rpm -ivh maxima-5.14.0-1.centos4.i386.rpm \
        maxima-exec-clisp-5.14.0-1.centos4.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
         libreadline.so.4 is needed by maxima-exec-clisp-5.14.0-1.centos4.i386

$ locate libreadline, gave (among others):

/lib/libreadline.so.5
/lib/libreadline.so.5.2
/lib64/libreadline.so.5
/lib64/libreadline.so.5.2
/usr/lib/libreadline.so
/usr/lib64/libreadline.so

I checked on ore (fedora 7) and it also had version 5 of these libs.

I am not on the mailing list so please reply directly. (Or just tell me to 
join the list.)
