installation question
can anyone please explain to me how to install the following files:
- krb5-1.2.7-10.scr.rpm - openssl-0.9.7a-2.scr.rpm i double-click the file, then there a message asking me to provide the root password, after i typed in the password. the meassage deisappers, but nothing seems to happen at all. obviously, i dont know how to use the terninal for the files. thanks. |
those are source code rpms ... you might want to look for their binary counterparts (ie the same name without src, I think)
so these files I think krb5-1.2.7-10.rpm openssl-0.9.7a-2.rpm and then indeed double clicking should do it! |
those files seem to be the ones i need.
because when i tried to add some some packages with the installation CD, it said couldnt be found on the system. so i got a hold on them, then i got lost. also, when i looked them up from the net, they are seem to have that src part in the name |
for src files you have to use terminal
rpmbuild --rebuild package.x.x.x.src.rpm |
