hello, I downloaded a program called TrueCrypt off of the following website:
http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads.php this program is used to encrypt and password protect files in any type of drive (including USB flash drives, which is why I downloaded the program) and can be opened on any computer regardless of teh operating system
This is what I did:
I downloaded the version for SUSE 9.3 which is a tar.gz file that contains an RPM for SUSE 9.3. as soon as it downloads to my home folder I go to the tar.gz file and click on it then I see a folder called truecrypt, I click on that folder and I see an RPM I click on the RPM and then it asks for my root password and whenever it starts installing it says that an error was encountered.
this is the error message that I get when installing the RPM:
ERROR(InstTarget:E_RpmDB_subprocess_failed)
---
Error: Linux kernel version 2.6.8-24-default required.
error: %pre(truecrypt-4.1-0) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping truecrypt-4.1-0
2005-12-09 22:47:34 truecrypt.rpm install failed
rpm output:
Error: Linux kernel version 2.6.11.4-20a-default required.
error: %pre(truecrypt-4.1-0) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping truecrypt-4.1-0
what am I doing wrong? DO I have to do anything to the tar.gz file before I can use the RPM inside it??? I tried downloading the version for SUSE 9.3 and installing it but I get the same error.
What should I do can some one tell me how to properly install this program or where I can get a working version of it??
I really dont care how I install this program, can some one tell me how what I have to do to install this program by using the source code???
Thanks,
