DDD installation problems!
 

Hi,
I already have gdb installed under Mandriva 10.2. I am trying to install DDD. I went to this site http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html
to obtain the rpm file, then here's what happened:

[root@localhost swilliams]# rpm -i ddd-3.3.1-8mdk.src.rpm
warning: user houpla does not exist - using root
warning: group houpla does not exist - using root
warning: user houpla does not exist - using root
warning: group houpla does not exist - using root
warning: user houpla does not exist - using root
warning: group houpla does not exist - using root
warning: user houpla does not exist - using root
warning: group houpla does not exist - using root
warning: user houpla does not exist - using root
warning: group houpla does not exist - using root
warning: user houpla does not exist - using root
warning: group houpla does not exist - using root
warning: user houpla does not exist - using root
warning: group houpla does not exist - using root

Could someone please tell me what is wrong? Thanks.

Just a warning ... basically it means that the maintainer
of that package has a group-owner for ddd that doesn't
exist on your machine. Another good reason not to use
package management systems ;}

It looks it wanted houpla user and group and it can't find it in your system, so used root. The program should be correctly installed and usable. It doesn't look like a big problem.

Yea, but when I try to run ddd, I get command not found.

That's because you didn't install the program, but the
SOURCE for it ... you need to use rpms build-feature.
"man rpm" for details, I haven't used it in 4 years ;}
