Re: Installation Problems

Use the rpm -q and locate commands to see if the libraries are installed.
For example, rpm -q libguile or locate libguile.  ver only works if they
were installed via an rpm file.

If you have the libraries installed, try using the --nodeps switch for rpm.
I had to do this because the gnome rpms kept complaining about dependency
problems.

Subject: Installation Problems


I have downloaded all the files from gnome.org for GNOME 1.0 and
written them to CD.

Now I am trying to install GNOME from this CD. I mount the CD
under linux and windows using the Disk Manager and then use the xterm
to run the folliwing command

RPM -Uvh *.rpm from the /mnt/cdrom/gmone directory but its says it
needs the following files

libguile.so.2
gtk+ = 1.06
imlib = 1.81
libglib-1.1.so.3
libgdk-1.1.so.2

I have searched my linux installation disk for these files and cannot
find them ? Can anyone help me ? Im a newbie to Linux and X windows
!!

Many Thanks for your help

Malcolm
