Installation Problems using RPM
Hi,
I'm having major problems with using rpm to install packages (i.e. gcc and binutils) on my new RedHat 9 server. i'm using the command in the following format: rpm -ivh packagename.rpm. Where packagename.rpm is the URL of the remote rpm file for binutil. This gives no errors. However, when I then try entering binutil at the prompt, I get the error "-bash: binutil: command not found". Indeed, entering rpm -q binutil tells me that package binutil is not installed. I've tried doing an updatedb, but this doesn't seem to help. I've typed locate binutil, which outputs the following: Quote:
I would of course go and manually build binutils myself from those files, but I don't have gcc installed yet either! :( What can I do? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance. :D (Oh, and this is all on a remote server, so I can't use the RedHat CDs!) |
Isn't it because you installed the source binutils (as it seems by the path /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ ... in theses lines)?
What is the output of whereis binutils Try to search and install a binary binutils. |
