linux-2.4.20-9.src.rpm seems to install, but where??
It is supposed to be in /usr/src/ but although after typing
rpm -ivh linux-2.4.20-9.src.rpm it does the whole ######################################100% Then drops back to the prompt. Anyone know where it may have gone? I have run several file searches with no luck.. |
rpm -ql linux-2.4.20-9.src
Should tell you where they went? Cheers, Tink |
check the rpm
This command may shed some light on your problem:
rpm -qlp /filepath/linux-2.4.20-9.src.rpm |

Tinkster is a faster typist than me.

Thanks guys, but I tried them both and tinks told me it wasn't installed and jail's told me the files in the RPM. I still cannot locate it. The only kernel tree in /usr/src/ is 2.4.20-8 which is the old one. I tried recompiling that one already and I lcan't find the bzImage file after the make bzImage command. It's not where it is supposed to be.
God, I wish I were at work so I could redownload the tar.gz. It is easier than the rpm.. I searched the rh disks for kernel-sources and it says it is not there. It says that glibc-kernheaders replaces it. Of course that file is already installed. I really want to sucessfully compile a kernel..:cry: |
Not a great fan of rpms myself ...
Not too good at using them, either, but what does rpm -i -vv linux-2.4.20-9.src.rpm give you? Cheers, Tink |
I tried that tinkster, and the output is too long to post here, but appears to be a listing of the options/patches available in /usr/src/redhat/sources. The other directories in usr/src/redhat are empty.
Is there a way to see what rpm is doing while unpacking? maybe I can spot where it's putting everything.. |
