mystified Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 I've been trying to download an RPM I need to install a program. Every source I've found though has the same problem. The name of the rpm is libstdc++-compat-2.95.2-3mdk.i586.rpm. Yet when I download I get libstdc%2B%2B-compat2.95.2-3mdk.i586.rpm. When I try doing a urpmi I get "error registering local package." What is causing the change in the RPM during the download process? I've given up on installing the program but I'd like to understand what's happening and why. Any help appreciated!

Guest anon Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Have you Tried renaming the rpm and altering the % ? Also, There's a i386 version on rpmfind.net i just d-loaded. seems OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted November 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 I tried renaming and got the same error message. And rpmfind.net was the first place I searched and couldn't find this RPM. :? Do you by any chance still have the link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 The file is not a mdk rpm, but it prob works : ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6...2.95-2.i386.rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted November 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Weird! I just downloaded and the same thing happened! :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 I d-loaded in mozilla, OK. What are you using to get it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted November 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Opera. Okay, now this is really strange. I started Mozilla and downloaded with no problem but I still get the same error message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 What if you just click on the rpm and let Kpackage install it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted November 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 It worked! And I finally got the program that I needed that particular RPM for working! I've been trying for over a week and had given up and was having to use the Windoze version. You're a lifesaver anon. Thanks! :D Uh-oh. Spoke too soon. When I run the program I get - Warning XMFontListCreate( ) is an obsolete function. Segmentation fault. Any hope? I hate having to boot into Windoze to run this program!

bvc Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 I was wondering why you never posted as to whether or not you got that program working. Does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted November 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Well the program starts like it's going to work and then I get that error message. I have to run it from console because it's just an exectutable file. Obviously there's some kind of problem with the fonts and I have no idea how to fix it or if it's even workable.

mystified Posted November 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 I just had to post this to celebrate. After one whole month of beating my head against the wall I finally got this program to work. Who says persistance doesn't pay off?! :D Damn I love Linux!
