RPM dependencies are different to having the software installed. i.e. installing via CPAN will not resolve the failed dependencies (as you noticed). Installing with --nodeps will work, but a better solution (speaking about RPM-based systems in general) is to install the missing packages, e.g.: # yum install perl-XML-Parser perl-Digest-SHA1 R. _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
