While a --nodeps argument will install an rpm regardless of failed dependencies, you need to install the other rpms in order to have a working environment. Make sure the rpms are installed and then you can install with --nodeps.
You can find a link to all of the required rpms here: http://www.tinyos.net/dist-2.0.0/tinyos-2.0.0pre2/doc/html/upgrade-tinyos.html If you have those rpms already installed, I wonder if there is something wrong with your environment -- I have not seen the operating system errors on xp systems. -kw On 11/9/05, Dongyan Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Kristin and David: > > Thanks for the suggestion.
