RE: [Cooker] Cooker RPM help needed!
Morten The problem is that you didn't installed locale 2.3.1.1. If you get system which has locale 2.3.1.1 installed, just copy /usr/share/locale directory on to your system and once you do this, rpm will stop segfault on you and you can upgrade your locale to 2.3.1.1 after all. The Mandrake is known for loose package dependencies checking. Andrew Bielecki -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Nathan A.

Hey Morten, You could try and download the precompiled binaries that can be found on the rpm.org ftp site. They do come in tarballs and make things a little simplier.

Any info would be appreciated. Have a look at the RPM section of our website. Then consult the document called mdk-rpm mini HOWTO. All should be there. If u know how to make yourself a super user u can "swap" to root without needing to login again, even some programs allow u to use them aslong as u know the password for root. ?? but you erally don't needt o be root to build rpm packages. you just need to add a line to .rpmrc / .rpmmacros (can't remember which one.) and change the topdir to your home directory and cerate the necessary RPm dir in ~/ you can login as a normal user and then su to root if you are too lazy to create the dir, but it's not necessary. all are told in the mdkrpm howto. geoff.
