Unable to install RPM source
Hello
Recently I had problems with RPM 3.0x and I was forced to remove it from my system. Now I have a "chicken or the egg problem" In order for me to reinstall RPM 3.0x or even 4.0x I need a working installation of RPM...which I don't have. My second idea is to download the RPM source and compile build it back into my system. I downloaded the source from rpm-4.0.1-0.7x.src from rpmfind.net but there is no support or even a README file on how to compile and build in it. Can you plz tell me how to compile the rpmsource |
Have you tried downloading the gzipped tarballs (tar.gz) ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x and install them.
1. untar and decompress the file by typing: tar zxvf <package-name>. 2. change to the directory it created usually a similar name to the package. 3. open up any text file that might give you any clues on how to set it up properly. |
