Hi, Eric--

You and I seem to be having a lot of the same problems these days. I
just ran into the libwcsmbs dependency while trying to install
VFlib. I found there's a libwcsmbs package in the redhat-jp
distribution. You may want to install the wcsmbs-locale package, too.

Now, does anybody know what package provides 'DynalabFont'? VFlib
needs that, too. I went ahead and installed it with --nodeps, but I'm
not comfortable with that, being rather finicky about font stuff.
