Trouble installing program


Recommended Posts

the pkg is rpm-build but the command is rpmbuild...I know...stupid in light of most pkging

you could have done

rpm -ql rpm-build

and found the /usr/bin entry showing you

/usr/bin/rpmbuild

 

man rpm

man urpmi

man urpm<all at the bottom of urpmi's manpage>

 

man rpm shows you

rpm -ql

that you could have used above

 

if we hold the spoon, you'll never learn to feed yourself. The time we spend answering all these questions should be your time spent in reading manpages. Am I saying RTM? You bet! Else, you learn nothing and spend the rest of your unix life on forums. If it's because you are concerned with breaking something then you shouldn't be compiling. Bottom line.

 

Sorry, but 3/4 pages of post for one app, w/o any real compile errors is pushing it, IMO.

checking build system type... i686-redhat-linux-gnu

checking host system type... i686-redhat-linux-gnu

checking target system type... i686-redhat-linux-gnu

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

 

One of the reasons you have had problems is because the Easy-Urpmi site is for the Mandrake Distro.

Your running Red Hat so some of the files you need will probably not be available from Easy -Urpmi or may not be compatable.

 

Am moving this topic to the "Other Linux Distro's" forum.

Thanks. I guess I should have expected that soon(the spoon part I mean).

Uhm I not running Red Hat. Mandrake has been the only linux distro on my PC. It doesnt matter anyways. The thread is pretty much done now. I gotta start figuring this stuff out on my own. :thanks: bvc, Steve Scrimpshire, and Qchem for your help.

hey, we're here to help after normal, common, basic resources are exhausted, so don't feel like you shouldn't ask for help afterward! I was not trying to be rude but felt it needed to be said, not just for you in this thread but for all that may read it.

weird

 

so did ya get it?

localhost:/# urpmf silc.pc

silc-toolkit-devel:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/silc.pc

localhost:/# urpmf --description --summary silc-toolkit-devel

silc-toolkit-devel:summary:SILC toolkit

silc-toolkit-devel:description:SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides

secure conferencing services on the Internet over insecure channel.

SILC is IRC-like software although internally they are very different.

The biggest similarity between SILC and IRC is that they both provide

conferencing services and that SILC has almost the same commands as IRC.

Other than that they are nothing alike.  Major differences are that SILC

is secure what IRC is not in any way.  The network model is also entirely

different compared to IRC.

 

This package contains all development related files for developing or

compiling applications using SILC protocol.
