I successfully installed hwinfo on a CentOS 5.6 machine:
Code:
# uname -a Linux ocean-9.univpm.it 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 31 13:22:04 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I've downloaded the following SRC packages from OpenSuSE 11.4 repository:
Code:
libx86emu-1.1-10.1.src.rpm
hwinfo-18.3-1.2.2.src.rpm
and I installed perl-XML-Parser and perl-XML-Writer through yum to satisfy dependencies. They compiled without a glitch. What is the error message you got?
