hmm.. well, then, on second thought, that leads me to another question..
as i said earlier, i can install the interbase drivers via rpm or via
tarball. in earlier email, i responded for the case where they are
installed via rpm.
but if the interbase driver (libgds.so) is installed via tarball, then,
when i query the php-interbase rpm package for what it requires:
rpm -qp --requires php-interbase-5.0.4-10.4.i686.rpm
then, if what you say is correct -- that rpm never considers any
dependencies which are not in another rpm package -- then why does rpm
return 'libgds.so' as one of its required dependencies, when 'libgds.so'
is not from any rpm (again, this is when i have the interbase drivers
installed via tarball, not from rpm)..?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
# rpm -qp --requires php-interbase-5.0.4-10.4.i686.rpm
config(php-interbase) = 5.0.4-10.4
grep
libc.so.6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)
libgds.so <=========
perl
php = 5.0.4-10.4
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1

and yet
-----------------------------------------------------------------
# rpm -q --whatprovides libgds.so
no package provides libgds.so
