Red Carpet installation problems

I just downloaded the 3 RPM files necessary to install Red Carpet on my SuSE 8.2 computer, but I ran into some problems I'm hoping somebody here can help me with.

The Three RPM's are for:

rcd
rug
red-carpet

When I did the usual "rpm -Uvh" on the rcd RPM, I got the usual output of a bunch of "#########" and then a second line that said "0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off "

I haven't seen anything like it before, and I don't know what it means, but there were no errors reported and it seemed ok, so I assumed it installed.

The install or the rug went fine like any other install.

Then when I tried to install red-carpet I once again got the "########" that usually indicate that an install is working, but then got a secont line that said "execution of red-carpet-2.0.0-0.ximian.7.4 script failed, exit status 127"

Anybody have any idea what could have gone wrong, and how I can fix it?

Thanks.

Why don't you just type (as root in a console):

wget -q -O - http://go.ximian.com |sh

Having trouble installing? You can get help at our Support Center.

From Ximian's website : http://ximian.com/products/desktop/download.html

From the installer, you can specify Red Carpet or just Evolution.

I'm a little confused by that. If I use that option, do I need to install/have installed the ximian desktop? Because I don't want it, only Red Carpet.

Thanks.

Go to this page. Select your distro and download.

That's exactly what I did to begin with. The RPM's I reveived from there are what caused the problems. Never mind though, I think I have it worked out now, the script works.
