What does rpm -qa | grep mono
report? As far as dependency checking if all the RPMs were there the rpm usually orders the install so that the dependencies are met. Which ones did it complain about? -----Original Message----- Well, it's a cart-before-the-horse kind of thing: I have to install Mono to prove we can run ASP.NET before we go forward to virtualizing servers, etc. I agree that if RPM is the installer, you shouldn't bypass it: I wouldn't do that for SMP/E on my z/OS box! I'm making progress... most of the Mono RPMs were installed (I think) but it wasn't as simple as saying rpm -Uhv *.rpm; I had to install one at a time due to dependency error messages, Now I get messages from XSP install, for example: mono(Mono.Posix) = 1.05000.0 is needed by xsp-1.1.13.0-novell Which I take to mean that some subcomponent (possibly this is a "class" or "object") of mono appears to be missing, rather than an entire package? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
