I'm recent Linux convert happilly running Mandrake 9. I am trying to install xglobe. There is no "normal" rpm only a source rpm available. A checked out the linux pocketbook and it said to: copy the file to any directory, load the console as root and run a few commands... sounds easy enough
I copied the file - xglobe-01.51-1.src.rpm - into my Documents folder.
I load the console in that folder and become root. and type "rpm -rebuild xglobe-01.51-1.src.rpm"
I get the following message: "usr/lib/rpm/rpmb: no such file or directory"
So, as root, I create an "rpmb" directory under usr/lib/rpm/ and run the rpm commands again, as before...
This time I get this message: "usr/lib/rpm/rpmb: Permission denied"
What am I doing wrong? Has anyone got XGlobe working under Mandrkae 9 yet?
