finding/installing pine
 

running RH9.0, I am trying to locate and install pine. when I do find / -name pine - it comes back with nothing. i looked at the RH website and can find what to do after it is installed(like, how to use it) - but nothing on the actual install of the program...any suggestions?
thanks a million!!!

Why not just download and compile it? Save yourself the (little bit) of trouble.

do you have openssl installed?

Did you make sure you met all the dependancies? That should be the first step.

contrasutra - (scratching head) let me ask this....does RH9 come with openssl and does it autmatically complile upon install of RH9? To be honest, I have not done anything with openssl - researching now.

All of Redhat (as with most distros) comes precompiled.

Theres probobly a Redhat package. Im not very familiar with RH, so install it using the GUI "control center" they give you. If you cant, get APT, http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/ and install it that way.

Or you can search rpmfind.net , freshrpms.net , or your isntall CDs directly. Theres a lot of support for Redhat.

PS. What is "./build lrh" ? When did you have to type that in?

Just look for the RPM in the CDs, try to install it. If a dependency comes up, install that, and so on and os forth.

To use the rpm command:

Remember to use <tab> autocompletion :)

What that command means.
rpm: basic package manager for Red Hat based systems
-i: install
-v: verbose (to actually print out what it is doing)
-h: forces it to do a status bar like progress bar.

Other options:
-U: upgrade/install packages
-F: upgrade installed-only packages, does not install any new package as -U does.
-e: ereases a package (uninstalls)
-q: queries the given package name in the rpm database
-ql: queries the files provided by a given rpm package.
-qa: queries all packages in the database.

For more info:

rpm --help
man rpm
rpm home page
rpmfind.net a good place to look for RPMs
Fresh RPMs Another good place to look for distribution-dependent RPMs.

Hope this helps you.

"pine-4.44-18.i386.rpm" is part of the Red Hat Linux 9 distribution.

You can find it on one of your Red Hat 9 installation CD's.
You can install it with "rpm -ivh pine-4.44-18.i386.rpm".

*/
Note : as of Red Hat Linux 9, Pine is deprecated and won't be packaged anymore in future versions of Red Hat Linux, due to license problems.
Luckely there's always the internet...
*/

As for the compilation error, you need the following package to solve this error : "krb5-devel-1.2.7-10.i386.rpm".

Good luck.

guys - it worked like charm - thanks a million!!!!

You are welcome! Glad it turned out the right way!
