Re: Linux downloads

[hymette]

Many thanks but see, I need to install a linux package called cooledit and I have Python installed. If I use rpm alone I get:

#: rpm -i /compat/linux/usr/arch/cooledit-3.9.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
python is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
pythonlib is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
/bin/sh is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
ld-linux.so.2 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
libX11.so.6 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
libXext.so.6 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
libXpm.so.4 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
libc.so.6 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
libdl.so.2 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
libm.so.6 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
libpthread.so.0 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
/bin/sh is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1

If I use /compat/linux/bin/rpm the list is shorter but still Python is not seen:

# : /compat/linux/bin/rpm -i /compat/linux/usr/arch/cooledit-3.9.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
python is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
pythonlib is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1

What should I do ?

Hi,

what is the best way to download packages in the Linux compat realm? I'm
looking for something like the ports system, that would search and
download the file with the appropriate dependencies too.

You won't believe ist:
You will find them in the ports system. Some of them are called
linux-mozilla or linux-jdk - in case there is a bsd-port
available, too.

Uli.

Alternately, where could I find lists of ftp servers for Linux and for
FreeBSD?

Thank you in advance for your tips.
