I mis-reported the situation a bit (wrt to my "vanilla" fedora). There are 2 parts where Adobe needs to fulfill - Without an rpm there is no way to install it on Fedora with the RH/Fedora toolchain. The installer provided is an "end user has root password and is running us under X" type of installer. Any large deployment -- say, an corporate environment -- will need an rpm. - The self-executing installer provided opaquely depends on non-base packages, and barfs cryptically if it doesn't find them. There are no release notes nor instructions mentioning the need for rpm-dev or rpm-build (my "vanilla Fedora 11" box has all sorts of dev tools installed, for obvious reasons ;-) ). It is very likely that the problem we see is a missing dep -- Adobe needs to document what the dependencies are. Maybe someone with patience can strace the installer and get more info on what's failing -- to guess the dependencies. > If you report a problem on the XO, they will ask you to reproduce it on a > supported platform first and then report it. That is correct -- but the problems we're seeing are actually on Adobe's side of the court. m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
