I have a desktop installation of Red Hat 8.0 on this machine. Yesterday I decided to install parted, a partitioning program of reasonable prominence along with a graphical interface that has been prepared for it, nparted, so-called. I downloaded the packages, ran tar xvzf on both and attempted to run ./configure on parted. There were complaints about missing items,which I might have expected and which I attempted to resolve by adding Development Tools from Add/Remove Packages. There were further complaints, this time installation was denied flat out because a particular rpm was not located. I downloaded and attempted to install the needed rpm but upon running rpm -i was informed that a more recent version of the package was already on the machine! Now this is God punishing me, isn't it? I can't get the development packages installed because a required package both is and isn't there. How does something like this get fixed?
