Hi all, here are some specs. *Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz-133 *Intel 845E Chipset *512 MB RAM *80GB IDE HardDrive *TNT2 – M64 32mb Video Card
*Linux Mandrake 7.0 *Linux-kernel 2.2.14 *I recently purchased a new PC and installed linux Mandrake 7.0 using DrakeX. The PC has been partitioned as follows. Win98 partition 5Gbytes /boot / 17Gytes swap 1024Mbytes /home about 50Gbytes (the rest) Description of Problem When I try and install any additional packages within linux using any one of the rpm package manages (i.e. kpackage, drakerpm etc) I get an error reading: ‘package name’ is for a different architecture. I’ve tried many packages that came within the CDs (including i586 rpm files). The same error was given following each attempt. In addition I uninstalled several packages already installed during the DrakeX installation and attempted to reinstalled them. I got the same problem. I need to install additional packages in order to run a research software package. I don’t understand why I’m getting this architecture incompatibility problem. Is the Intel 845E chipset incompatible with mandrake 7.0? Do I need to upgrade to Linux Mandrake 8.1? I eagerly look forward to a reply. Manuel http://my.yahoo.com.au - My Yahoo! - It's My Yahoo!
