You cannot install OpenPKG packages with an arbitrary RPM. You have to bootstrap using the 'openpkg-*.src.sh' package which contains its own feature enhanced version of RPM needed by OpenPKG packages. -> http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#bootstrap-source In the rare case you do not have a compiler on your FreeBSD system you might alternatively bootstrap from binary packages. -> http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#bootstrap-binary -> ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.0/BIN/ix86-freebsd4.9/openpkg-2.0.0-2.0.0.ix86-freebsd4.9-openpkg.sh After having 'openpkg' installed it is good practice to install 'make', 'binutils', 'gcc' since these are the most essential packages required by most of the other OpenPKG packages. Again, please do not intermix OpenPKG packages with other RPM stuff floating around on the net (and vice versa) since they are completely different under the hood. Good luck :-) ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List [EMAIL PROTECTED]
