Hello All, I noticed that the file name I typed in to install had a number of errors including not capitalizing R and P in RealPlayer and having one to many ones in .1186- (should have been .186-).
So I logged in as root and went to my Dl directory and saw in red letters "RealPlayer-0.4.0.186-20040615.i586.rpm" which was the file name of the file I downloaded to my Dl directory. I then typed in "rpm -ivh RealPlayer-0.4.0.186-20040615.i586.rpm" and got the error message: "error: can not open Packagesindex using db3 - No such file or directory (2) error: can not open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm". Is there a way of highlighting the file name to get it without errors and typing it in ahead of the filename the command "rpm -ivh "? In other words rmp -ivh <highlighted file name>? I am thinking that perhaps I make subtle errors in the file name that could be eliminated by highlighting the file name that is in red letters and plunking it down after the command rpm -ivh. I am running a libranet debian linux desktop. Thank you in advance, Michael Walters _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
