Hi, all In my moblin2 intallation, I found all the gawk exe files were installed under /bin, e.g. /bin/gawk, /bin/awk (symbol link to gawk). In the upstream gawk source code, comments said installation should sym link gawk to awk, and it does it in makefile.
So the root cause of this compatibility problem is the install path of gawk. Maybe the --nodeps workaround is the most convient way to install it until now:) Regards, jf.ding On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 02:14:18PM +0800, Wang, Jing J wrote: > By rpm -vv, I notice RPM installation check dependency by RPM db which is > under /var/lib/rpm.
