HI all, IS there a command that i can use that can recursively check for all dependencies a particular piece of software requires.. Because while installing something i get an error regarding one dependency and for installing that dependency it requires something else which gets pretty frustrating...
Thank you, Puneet

Assuming you are using Fedora/Redhat you can use apt4rpm or yum to resolve such dependencies and generally handle your package management.
Or if you so wish write a simple script that would do the checking using the --requires and such switches of rpm.

yes. apt-get is what downloads+installs the rpm from an apt repository. apt4rpm is used to setup a repository. M'be I made a mistake in suggesting apt4rpm as a solution for the original problem. An overkill :)
