help with dependencies for ant on RH9
 

Hello all. Im working on installing ant on RH9. I have managed to get rid of all the dependencies except for one. I have searched the web, and cant find the missing package. The missing package is java-devel. I have the java sdk installed as you can see in the second command. Just for more info i searched for java also.

Thank you for any help!
Matt.

did u try www.rpmfind.net ?

Doublefailure,

I had not, but java-devel was not found when i did a search. Thank you for the suggestion.

I installed ant on RH8 from the rpm with no problem. I dont know why this dependency is popping up. I thought maybe the rpm that i need would be on the RH9 disks, so I searched the first three RH9 disks for any rpm that had java in the filename. I found two. Neither of them had devel also in the filename....

Thanks,
Matt.

why don't u just install binary file from sun
get rid of sdk rpms and install binary file

Doublefailure,

Haha! Ya, but im new to linux, and am trying to learn how to use the package management system. I guess the package management system is only good for some things.

Since the java rpm seems to be working good I downloaded and installed the binary version of ant. Setup a few environment vars and everything seems to be working great.

Thank you for your help,
Matt.
