Dependencies problems installing 1.5.0

[Ken Schar]

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the advice. I'll d/l the source rpms and try that otherwise
perhaps I'll just pick up 1.4.x

The suggestion for making it "clearer" that 1.5.x is development would be
great - like with kernel development - it's clear and those desiring to
stay clear can stay clear :-)

Take Care,
  Ken
