Greetings Last night I decided I wanted to compile some software. I quickly discovered that I have not installed the necessary pgcc, make etc etc. I began my installation process by trying to install make. I used the kpackage to do the installation. As it was installing it came up with a "Script Failed" type error message. I have heard that kpackage does have a few bugs (not installing documentation if I remember rightly - my observations seem to confirm that) so I tried using rpm from the command line. I typed rpm -i <file name for make, which I can't remember right now but checked that it and the path were correct> It responded that make was already installed. So I rpm -e <correct package name, which I can't remember but checked to make sure it was correct> It responded that the package was not installed. I once encoutered a similar problem using RH5.2 and Glint. In that case I solved the problem by having the installed packages window and the available packages window open simultaneously. However I am not using Glint in this case (it doesn't deem to have been included) so I don't know how to solve this problem? Does anyone have any ideas? Aaron
