Hello,<BR>
I am running Mandrake 9.1 and had no problem installing 1.8.5. Here is how I did it with the graphical interface.<BR>
I have set up the directory where I download things to as a Installation Source under Mandrake Control Center. Then when I downloaded all the rpms for mdk, I simply told the Installation Source to update to reread the rpms in that directory. Then used the Add Software like I were installing from the Mandrake Disks by selecting each of the packages that I had downloaded then clicked in the Install button. <BR>

As suggested by Benoît a few replies above, when you meet a cross
dependencies between packages to be installed, the only way round is
to install them both *at the same time*, in *one* command line,
*without* the graphic interface which cannot cope with this situation.
So, in a console:
# su
# rpm -Uvh lib1.rpm lib2.rpm
I use the same config as yours (mdk9.1 + gc1.8.5), but I didn't
encounter your problem.</I></FONT></PRE>
