Heh, it helps if you are "in" the same directory that contains the SoundStudio-1.0.3-5.i586.rpm file before you execute that command. The rpm command could not find the file, resulting in the error.
I could not locate an i586 version of that file on RPMFIND (which I looked for after reading your message below). Nor could I find an MDK version for anything but the Sparc. Ideally you want to use MDK RPM's to avoid problems with other software on your MDK system. In turn if you are downloading a cooker file on a stock 8.x LM install, it's a good idea to try to recompiling, instead of installing from a binary. Though this may not always work. Recompiling rebuilds the i586.rpm file based upon files and libraries already installed in your system. (E.G. rpm --rebuild SoundStudio-1.0.3-5.src.rpm after downloading that file... The resulting file will be located in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586 or /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686 ) When it works, you end up with a NEW rpm that is more highly compatible with your existing installation. Note however that cooker RPM's in turn often rely on other libraries & programs which may not already be installed in your system. You can actually get into a vicious cycle of upgrades by trying to utilize cooker (and other) RPM's which supercede releases for your system. At best, things will work, at worst you may end up with a highly unstable system. For Ex-Winblows people, using cooker releases is somewhat akin to trying to run software under WinME, written for WindowsXP. Not a good idea, especially on an "important" system. -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Newbie |Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 10:05 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [newbie] SoundStudio-1.0.3-5.i586.rpm appears broken | | |Ok I got it from rpmfind.net it says: | | |[root@kittypuss Production]# rpm -qlf |SoundStudio-1.0.3-5.i586.rpm | more |error: file SoundStudio-1.0.3-5.i586.rpm: No such file or |directory [root@kittypuss Production]# | | | |On Friday 19 October 2001 04:33 pm, Jose M.
