skinky Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hi all, I just installed partimage via urpmi but when I attempt to use the program I get the following error: Error: sizeof(DWORD) != 4 (8) This version has been compiled with an uncompatible version of gcc. So I used urpme to uninstall it and downloaded and installed a file from a different server. Same problem. Next I downloaded the source rpm then used "rpm --rebuild" and installed the resulting rpms. Same result as above. My OS Mandriva 2007 x86_64 and my gcc version 4.1.1 20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-3mdk). Any ideas? I'm at a loss as to what is going on here. TIA skinky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinky Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) It doesn't matter now. I've installed the partimage i386 static binary tarball from http://www.partimage.org/ which worked fine. I only wanted to make a backup image file of my WinXP partition so that next time it stuffs itself up I don't have to remove my linux partitions just to reinstall windows (especially when I only use windows every 2 months)! Still think the gcc version mixup is a bit strange though... Cheers Edited November 30, 2006 by skinky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
