Should be fine in terms of the version number (unless 3.1.2 is very

not, then install it. That's the package that should have the missing

[*] this should not happen, but because you are running an unsupported
(by Planet CCRMA) version of RedHat there is no repository you can
connect to that has all the packages available and can be used to
resolve dependency problems such as this.
