I tried to install LyX on my XO running os767
with the error:

   texlive-2007-32.fc9.i386 from updates-newkey has depsolving problems
     --> Missing Dependency: libpoppler.so.3 is needed by package
   texlive-2007-32.fc9.i386 (updates-newkey)
   Error: Missing Dependency: libpoppler.so.3 is needed by package
   texlive-2007-32.fc9.i386 (updates-newkey)

A google search found a thread
http://en.forum.laptop.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=163164
but I was not able to download the poppler rpm from the link given:

   http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/10171053/com/poppler-0.8.7-1.fc9.i386.rpm.html

A number of other links to rpms did not work before connection timing out.
It seems like this is the stopping point.  Any suggestions on how to
proceed?

Also, why is libpoppler not in the standard yum repositories.  One would think
TeX would be fairly common...and thus installable.

Thanks,
Chris
