[gentoo-user] rpm problem

there are some packages not available in gentoo and i want to install the rpms. I've done this before when I had gentoo installed before. However, last night I emerged rpm and tried to use it. I get weird stuff about things I know are on the system and in the path rpm SHOULD be able to see bein

Re: [gentoo-user] RPM and gentoo

nice thing about using rpm is that you can uninstall it with rpm -e so why not use rpm? for those tar files that are not in portage i use checkinstall: just to ./configure then make and then run checkinstall instead of make install. checkinstall will make an rpm and install it, so that you can

I josticed got a notification that a new driver for my videocard is available at www.ati.com. Since I can't activate 3D acceleration I hope that this new driver will fix this. Of course there is no emerge yet, because the ati-driver package still has 3.2.8. Now I wonder what effects will that have

Hi everybody, I saw early today a post that was saying that to see all the packages in the system, something like "rpm -qa", exists a command "qpkg -I -v". I tried this command but it seems I don't have this command in my Gentoo. Is there a package I should emerge to use qpkg ? Thanks in advan

I managed to find a source tarball for that version from an emergelinuxcd project, or something like that. It won't compile against either version of kudzu in portage (0.99.66 and 0.99.99). David wrote: I downloaded the RedHat rpm from rpmfind.net rpm -Uvh Xconfigurator-4.10.7-1.i386.rpm warn

Is their currently a script/program out there that will install an RPM onto a Gentoo system? I'm not talking about 'rpm --nodeps -i file.rpm'. I mean a program that will parse the RPMs dependencies and then use portage to try and satisfy those dependencies, write a dummy ebuild, then use portag

You may be able to install the rpms with the --force flag, and if that doesn't work, try the --nodeps flag, which turns off dependency checking. That has always worked for me. Brian Reichholf wrote: *sigh* oh, the joy of rpm's, how annoying :/ i am trying to install some commercial softwar
