Hello all,
slackware comes with rpm installed, only when I try to install any non src.rpm, Id bombs out with failed dependicies, ive tried "rpm --rebuilddb" "rpm --initdb", and i still get failed dependices even though when I check manually they are there, sorry i cant tell you what deps exactly because im on the windoze box at the moment, but it is usually glibc deps. skottieb:)
 
You usually have to use the [tt]--nodeps[/tt] switch to RPM on Slackware, since Slackware's primary package manager isn't RPM. //Daniel
