hi,
i'm pretty new to linux RH8 (2weeks old). After trying to install the package such as the RH8 C compiler.. it asked for various dependencies.. i got this. it asked for another. i got that it asked for another... and finally at the end of the tunnel... i cant find the last package "KERNAL-HEADERS"??
I know i can install it via the GUI gnome menu but want to install it manually just for my own 'newbie' experience..
Q: from linux... is there any method to install the dependancies as well as the software you want in a single swoop?
i know there are other package managers for other linux distributions that can do this however i think RH8 is a good starting point...
below is the final message.. please advise where i can find this.. thanks in advance.
the software i was trying to install was gcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm
