Hello, I just wanted to follow up with some additional information. Both Doug and I have been working together on this rpm install and it seems we have run into a bit of a wall. We are trying to install a Legato Client rpm built for Redhat Linux. when running /compat/linux/bin/rpm -vv -i legato-client.rpm it produces the following errors. D: requires: cpio unsatisfied. D: package lgtoclnt-rh require not satisfied: cpio error: failed dependencies: libncurses.so.3.0 is needed by lgtoclnt-rh-5.1.0-2 cpio is needed by lgtoclnt-rh-5.1.0-2 This seems odd sense I am pointing $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the location were libncurses.so.3.0 (/compat/linux/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/) is located. So I move on to installing the rpm with --force which has no effect on the outcome. Then I try --nodeps which produces this final error. D: file: /usr/sbin/savefs action: create D: file: /usr/sbin/savegrp action: create D: file: /usr/sbin/savepnpc action: create D: file: /usr/sbin/uasm action: create D: running preinstall script (if any) lgtoclnt-rh-5.1.0-2 unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic Any thoughts would be appreciated greatly!
