Try to install pdksh package first.
On RedHat 9's installation CD it's
pdksh-5.2.14-21
best regards.

Why can't you install the pdksh package? the problem youare getting is that the package you are trying to install wont't work because something else the package needs isn't installed on your machine.

You can force the installation:

# rpm -ivh "package" --nodeps

but if "package" needs pdksh, maybe you'll get some troubles.

Sometimes the dependances aren't so strict... In these cases forcing the installation helps.

What's the problem to install the pdksh pakage?
Installing RPM with --nodeps options will certainly continiue -but you're about to face problems while working with installed by this package program.
