Look and see what version of libgal.so you do have, if any. It should
probably be in /usr/lib.
In my case, I had libgal.so.3.0.1 (with a symlink libgal.so.3 pointing
to it). So I added a new symlink libgal.so.2 pointing to it also and
that seems to work. If you don't have this, I would look on rpmfind.net
(or on your RH CD!) and see if you can't get a libgal package that has
libgal.so.2 exactly. You can do rpm -qpl <package file> to see what
files it provides. I should point out that with the symlink in place,
rpm still complains about libgal.so.2 missing, so I used --nodeps in my
rpm -Uvh of abisuite to make it install anyway. It would of course be
cleaner to find exactly libgal.so.2 and it is probably still available
somewhere, but since the above method seems to work fine, I haven't
persued it.
The libgal.so.3 I have is from libgal3-0.4.1-0_helix_1 (from my recent
install of helix gnome).
That install also appears to have given me libgal1-0.2.2-0_helix_1,
which provides libgal.so.1.0.2 (and symlink libgal.so.1 pointing to
that). I guess that version is different enough that they included it
separately.
