are you trying to install rpm mandriva package? and libgailutil.so.17 dependency is not met?
hmm, this case is similar to ubuntu dapper deb packge, dapper package also needs libgail17 when it is attempted to be installed on ubuntu edgy. the only solution is to recompile it and build another package for the distro version
so i guess a call or request for gyachi rpm for mandriva 2007 is appropriate :)

As far as Mandriva 2007.0 is concerned, I cannot promise anything before Sunday (12th Nov), but if someone makes RPM in the meanwhile, (s)he is more than welcome to send it and it will be included in downloads.

I'm having a helluva time getting Gyachi installed on Mandriva.
I previously had it installed with no trouble at all with Ubuntu but I installed Mandriva Free 2007 just to check it out.
When I try to install it via the rpm I get the same unsatisfied libgailutil message as described before. I tried making the sym links as you described double checked them with ls -lh (as described) but to no avail, I still get the same message. After I tried doing this over a dozen times at least I decided to try compiling from source. First I tried compiling with the 1.0.5 tarball on the download page and during the configure I got an error about missing libgtkhtml-2.0 or above even though I have 3.8 installed. I then tried compiling from the latest cvs source and the same error. I've tried a few other things including compiling the latest libgtkhtml from source nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas aside from waiting for the new mandriva rpm?

Ok I kinda figured that any version after 2.0 would work but tried installing a 2.0 package anyway.
Already had it installed according to rpm. But for experimentation purposes I'll try compiling 2.0 from source if it works I'll let you know but otherwise keep posting theories.

i'm not sure how Mandriva package management works, is it urpmi? but anyway you actually need gtkhml-2.0 develoment files , which i'm certain is in mandriva's repositories.

You are correct in that it is urpmi however the dev files are not in the the repositories (contrary to what I'd expect as well). I tried installing this package online via rpm and source only to find a cascading series of dependency issues. But I've given up on mandriva for now and am trying gentoo (with which I'm already experiencing a whole new set of problems on my older PII HP laptop but thats a different forum.) Anyways keep up with the ideas and I'll let you know about my gentoo experience.

there's no easier way to do this than a symlink.
comiling gyachi will be much harder compared to just doing a symlink *AFTER* installing the rpm.
but don't forget to add --nodeps so it will not complain on the libgailutil problem.
then create a symlink after this.

cannot install gyachi 1.0.5
gyachi has dependency on libgailutil.so.17
mandriva one has libgailutil.so.18

As far as Mandriva 2007.0 is concerned, I cannot promise anything before Sunday (12th Nov), but if someone makes RPM in the meanwhile, (s)he is more than welcome to send it and it will be included in downloads.
I made symlink libgailutil.so.18 to libgailutil.so.17
using root user, type this :
ln -s /usr/lib/libgailutil.so.18 /usr/lib/libgailutil.so.17
[kenzo@kenzo ~]$ ls -lh /usr/lib/libgailutil.so.17
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 10 13:42 /usr/lib/libgailutil.so.17 -> libgailutil.so.18*
and it work fine, I can install gyachi 1.05 in my Mandriva 2007

i think you can install libgtkhtml-2.0 in mandriva while retaining libgtkhtml-3.8.
Ok I kinda figured that any version after 2.0 would work but tried installing a 2.0 package anyway.
Already had it installed according to rpm. But for experimentation purposes I'll try compiling 2.0 from source if it works I'll let you know but otherwise keep posting theories.
No dice.
