I have a fairly stock LM8.1 w/all of the software from the CD's (albeit one or two RPM's) installed in a brute force manner... I also performed all of the upgrades via the software manager...
I downloaded all of the Textstar RPM's. I then ran the tests as indicated. The "rpm -Fvh --test *.rpm" passed BUT when I went to install it complained of problems with Xanim w/o a version number. Strange... So I tried a --force since it did not complain about other files... This resulted an a lot of weird circular dependancies. It was complaining about needed versions which were being installed at the same time, again strange as this should not have occurred. I guess the Textstar RPM's are mismarked... Ok so I --nodeps --force 'd it. It died after a couple of RPM's again complaining of strange deps. I did it again "rpm --nodeps --force *.rpm". This time it picked up the rest. Everything came up just fine. So far no problems or troubles... -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Grant Fraser |Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 11:23 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: [newbie] kde 2.2.2 | | |Anybody else out there able to get it to install?
