i tried 'urpmi binutils-devel' but it cant find it ans says 'no package named binutils-devel'... i couldnt get it from the installation CD cause the cdrom drive does not work on this laptop... i downloaded libbinutils-devel-2.12.90 from the web and tried to install that package but it says: libbinutils2-2.12.90.0.15-1mdk.i586.rpm: read manifest failed: Success why does it do this? thanks
