First, sorry I'm posting "out of thread", but I haven't figured out how to
reply to a specific msg at the list's http site...
Many thanks to David Talkington and Wolfgang Pfeiffer and others for your
comments. We have tried running the rpms together, but still no go. From the
log of our telnet session (an abbreviated version is at end of email) you
can see that the RPM install wanted bzip 0.9.0c-2 or greater, we have only
0.9.0c-1 installed.
And the Bzip rpm kept insisting on a later version of RPM.
Perhaps someone can see what we're doing wrong from the log file below, or
do we have to try to get earlier versions of the rpms and "work our way up
the version chain"?
Any suggestions would be welcome!
Thanks, Max Hugen
