Hi Deepa,

I apologize if I am overstating the obvious, but I had really great success
installing xmgrace on 32bit Fedora distros with yum. Have you tried using
the following command in the terminal: "yum search xmgrace", and variant
searches withing? Although I have not followed the evolution of the Redhat
enterprise stuff, I think the commands are the same. The benefit is that it
will at least find all needed dependencies, and there are a few considering
the extended use of the various linear algebra libraries. Anyway, this may
not be the solution for RHEL but I know it worked for Fedora.

Good luck,
David LeBard
