Are you logged in and running the installer as root? If so, log out, and log in as a normal user. The installer doesn't like to be run as root.
If that's not the problem, I can't really help. I've heard of this problem, but haven't experienced it personally. Therefore, I have not been able to debug it. In any event, you probably don't actually have gettext completely installed. Modern distros will oftentimes only install the shared lib, but not the header files of a package like gettext. It's stupid, but that's what they do. You have two options: 1. Install the gettext-devel.rpm package which must exist on your install disks. Then run the installer again. When the next package dies at the root install stage, install that package's foo-devel.rpm, and repeat. 2. Reinstall gettext by rebuilding it -- by hand -- from the sources available on the iso. Since you're using Fedora, the proper build sequence is something like: cp gettext-(version).tar.gz /usr/local/src cd /usr/local/src gunzip -zxvf gettext-(version).tar.gz cd gettext-(version) ./configure --prefix=/usr make su -c "make install" Then try running the installer again. Have fun! Stuart On Sat, 23 Sep 2006, Schulmeyer, K wrote:
Ok, Thank you for the advice on mounting the cdrom but now the installer runs but it dies right after it asks for the root password to install gettext, which is already installed.
