ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk is in the contrib folder of Mandriva 2005LE, but is not available for 10.0 AFAIK As a new user you might find it easiest to simply upgrade to 2005LE. Alternatively you could try recompiling the src.rpm to operate under 10.0 To do that download the source rpm from ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/2005/SRPMS/contrib ensure the rpm-build package is installed, then follow the instructions in this post to recompile a src.rpm > > To compile a src.rpm create a directory structure in your /home of > > ~/rpm > ~/rpm/BUILD > ~/rpm/SPECS > ~/rpm/SOURCES > ~/rpm/RPMS > ~/rpm/RPMS/i586 > ~/rpm/RPMS/noarch > ~/rpm/RPMS/i386 > ~/rpm/RPMS/i686 > ~/rpm/RPMS/athlon > ~/rpm/SRPMS > ~/rpm/tmp > > then create a file ~/.rpmrc containing > #buildarchtranslate: i386: i586 > #buildarchtranslate: i486: i586 > #buildarchtranslate: i586: i586 > #buildarchtranslate: i686: i586 > > optflags: i386 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i386 %{debugcflags} > optflags: i486 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i486 %{debugcflags} > optflags: k6 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=k6 %{debugcflags} > optflags: i586 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i586 %{debugcflags} > optflags: i686 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i686 %{debugcflags} > optflags: athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=athlon %{debugcflags} > > > Download the src.rpm and as USER (not root) install it with > rpm -ivh package_name.src.rpm > > It will install the source files (plus patches) into ~/rpm/SOURCES and a file > xxxx.spec into ~/rpm/SPECS > > View xxxx.spec and edit it if you wish to change the way it is compiled. > The specfile is a set of instructions on how to patch the source, and how to > build 'Mandrake' packages.

You will probably need to install a 'devel' package. Use urpmf (See man urpmf) to find which packages files may be found in. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
