 That provides /usr/lib/libbfd-2.14.90.0.5.so.  But you need libbfd.so.
 How do you find it?
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ urpmf libbfd.so
 libbinutils2-devel:/usr/lib/libbfd.so
 
 Note that the libification (style of naming the libs and devel packages)
 is kinda confusing.  Wouldn't it be great if you installed the binutils

 Well you can!  It turns out that the libbinutils2-devel package
 provides binutils-devel:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ urpmq binutils-devel
 libbinutils2-devel
 
 So all you have to do is run 'urpmi binutils-devel' and it will install
 it.

i tried 'urpmi binutils-devel' but it cant find it ans says 'no package named 
binutils-devel'... i couldnt get it from the installation CD cause the cdrom 
drive does not work on this laptop... 

i downloaded libbinutils-devel-2.12.90 from the web and tried to install that
package but it says:
libbinutils2-2.12.90.0.15-1mdk.i586.rpm: read  manifest failed: Success

why does it do this?

thanks

Not cool.

Then add a urpmi source for main using the ever helpful page
at http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php.  Then urpmi it again.
Assume you call the source main, then you can do:
  urpmi --media main binutils-devel
and it will download it and install it (along with any dependencies it
migh thave).

i downloaded libbinutils-devel-2.12.90 from the web and tried to install that

libbinutils2-2.12.90.0.15-1mdk.i586.rpm: read  manifest failed: Success

I've never seen that.  Don't know what causes it.

It's caused by a bad download, or broken package on the mirror,
so atleast the rpm headers is screwed up...
Only solution is to redownload it, maybe even from another site...
