ALL these files are present on my computer, ive tried "rpm --rebuilddb" but that didnt work, im running the latest version of glibc, but i dont think that should represent a problem??? How can I tell rpm to see that I do have all the requirements installed??

Please Help!!!

thanx skottieb

Run

rpm -ivh package.rpm --nodeps

This command will force RPM to install and not check dependencies, however, I don't recommend doing this.

Check your /etc/ld.so.conf for the correct library paths and try re-running ldconfig.

You could always download the .src.rpm's of this package and issue the

rpm --rebuild package.rpm

the resulting package will be placed in /usr/src/ If you can't find it then just do a

find / -name rpmname.rpm -print

Or you could download the source code in tarball format and make the packages yourself. (Recommended)

Most source code packages include make instructions in a README file after you unpack the source.

sorry the

rpm --rebuild package.rpm

should be:

rpm --rebuild package.srpm

HTH!

[jrogersnd]

gah! maybe i'll get it right this time....

rpm --rebuild package.src.rpm

It's late!

I have one issu to solve this is by creating one text file for each CD of linux so when i need a library or packge i just search in the files and install the good package

You can find my script here:

hope that will help
