how do I know which rpm to use

dave4545 · 04-16-2005, 08:48 AM

How can I find out what rpm I need for my system?

I didn't install the software on my server.

I typed this.
[root@www3 logs]# uname -a
Linux www3 2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp #1 SMP Thu Apr 7 19:38:19 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I have webmin setup to install the rpm packages for me.
When I did a search for analog I came up with a lot of packages.
I don't want to install the wrong program.

Can you help me?
Thank you

Dave.

You need the rpms which will have .i686.FC3.rpm - or whatever FC version you have

You mean what version of fedora?
Excuse my ignorance.
I'm new at this.

Yes. Since you have Fedora Core 3, you'll be looking for rpms with .FC3 in them.

Thanks.
You were a great help.

would this work?
analog-6.0-1.fedora.i386.rpm

I tried looking for an analog rpm for fedora3 i686
This one was fedora 3 but i386
Would it work?

Thanks.
Dave.

Should work fine. Just do

Code:

rpm -Uvh analog-6.0-1.fedora.i386.rpm
