hi thanks in advance for your answer

here's my situation
I just installed FreeBSD and now I want to install Maya ( maya is in a TGZ that include the rpms inside. )
I searched all the night through the internet but I didn't find how to install the rpm package.
I'm running FreeBSD 4.10


tell me what are the steps to do...

thanks a lot




rpm == redhat package management I guess you could look into the rpm port, but not sure why you would want to do that. Do they either have the source available (ususally tar.gz file) or do either of these ports look like what you are looking for?

MayaVi is a scientific data visualizer. It is written in Python and uses
the
Visualization Toolkit (VTK) for the visualization. An easy to use GUI
using
Tkinter is provided. It is also cross platform and should run on any
platform
where both Python and VTK are available (which is almost any *nix, Mac
OSX or
Windows).

I think he is probably refering to Maya, by Alias. its a 3D design suite. Though I didnt know it had a linux port.

As far as installing it is concerned, if you are to have any luck you it you will need to install the linux compatability libraries and rpm of course. I suggest you google around to see if anyone has actually attempted this before. Hope this helps.
