You can always use Uvh which should update. When I played with it, I first removed the older libmpt libraries. U is for update, but it didn't in my case, saying a library supplied by the older version was required by vlc. If there is nothing to be updated, Uvh will just install.

On distributions that I do use to access the phone, on one of them, Lubuntu with LXDE, it will show up and be accessible in the file browser. On the others, I run the command simple-mtpfs (or variant, depending upon distribution) to mount it. However, I wasn't able to successfully install any of those (simple-mtpfs, mtpfs, or jmtpfs) on CentOS. > > Clicking on SAMSUNG_Android_SGH-T999 in the file browser, shows what > "appears" to be the phone (except that all folders show up as empty). > http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/13169408/640/13169408.png > > It looks like the libmtp RPM worked but I'm not sure of the use model to > access the picture data on the cellphone (or any data on the cellphone, as > all directories show as empty when I click on them in Centos). > Honestly, I don't know. However, I'm no expert programmer (or packager, I just ran rpmbuild -ba on the spec file to build it.) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
