What do I do?
Is this an install of RedHat or Mandrake Linux? It looks like you are trying to install a redhat rpm on a mandrake installation. Although RPMs built for on a different distribution often work fine, you're best finding one for your particular flavor. This problem also might come up if you try to install an RPM vs. upgrading it. Install: rpm -i Upgrade: rpm -U Upgrade will install it if it's not yet installed so i've gotten in the habit of: rpm -Uvh <package> (actually, i've gotten in the more recent habit of 'apt-get install', but that's a different story...) hth -ta _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
