Is there any package manager available?
 

I tried using gnorpm manager but it doesnt run on REDHAT 9.0
Is there any other tools available ?


Can you refer me to any site regarding rpm manager?


Thnx

yeah--the package manager in mandrake is called `rpmdrake` and `rpmdrake-remove` lets you install or remove rpm packages. You should be able to find it at rpmfind.net, or the mandrake install disks. Also explore the Redhat disks for other software install stuff.

Hi bngrhl!!!

You might be interested in using apt-get for Redhat. It's an awesome tool for installing and removing softwares. Let's say you want to install mplayer, all you've to do is to type:

apt-get install mplayer

Apt will connect to the Internet, download all packages and dependencies for you (in this case, even codecs) and install that for you. Installing synaptic (apt-get install synaptic) you get a neat GUI for apt, being able to install and remove your programs as you wish ;)

Regards!

if you prefer a gui you can install apt and then
Synaptic is a gui frontend for apt, and works very well.

when i do apt-get install synaptic, it says :

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package synaptic


what is going on?

anyone knows? please help

thanks

apt-get update
apt-get install synaptic

I just download the latest rpm today.
and I do rpm -Uvh atp-*, that should update everything.

but I will try your commands again, see what happen, thanks

that works! thanks

Cool! Congratulations :)
