Conflict between Guile versions

[jeff covey <jeff.covey@REMOVEME.pobox.com>]

i'm not sure who announced that my email address was a tech support
line, but i'm suddenly getting lots of messages like the one below.
if no one minds, i'll just start forwarding them to the list; i just
don't have time to deal with them.

Subject: Conflict between Guile versions

Hi Jeff,

I'm a recent convert to Linux.  I started with rh5.2 and quickly move to
rh6.0.  As an electrical engineer I'm very interested in Electronic
Design Automation.  So when I found gEDA I quickly installed it.  As in
all non pre planed projects problems arise.  Can you help me?  Thank
you.

Q1. I installed the gEDA program via the rpm and from GNOME (rh6.0
installed). Guile 1.3 is one of the rpms. Unfortunately rh6.0 has a
later version that was installed earlier. After the gEDA rpm
installation, an error message appeared stating that a conflict exists
between the older version and the newer version of rh6.0. Uninstalling
Guile I believe removes both versions of Guile because an error message
is flashed stating that GNOME needs Guile. My question is how do I
remove the older version of Guile (1.3) without removing the latest
version?

Q2. gEDA (GPL Electronic Design Automation) has documentation in HTML
that when Netscape is initiated to read it, the following message is
displayed:
Netscape is unable to locate the server keyword.netscape.com
Warning: the following hosts are unknown:
home.netscape.com
home6.netscape.com
internic.net
I strongly suspect that this problem is cause by the fact that my Linux
Sys is not connected to the internet. (I'm sending this email via the
MS environment and the winmodem.) The PPP environment is setup. My
question is how do I correct this problem.

Thank you all for your help,
jjc
