I just tried to intstall rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz on my system[freebsd 4.8] and have not been able to get it to ./configure let alone make. Is there a special dir, ( /usr/compat/linux?), or dependencies that are required to compile the tarball? My main reason for trying top install a package manager is that I've had problems with gmetadom[lastest] and various other tarballs with limited success. I am attempting to teach myself about unix and could just use a pointer in the right direction. Thank you for your time... nikita_the_jew@yahoo.com --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
