Merlin dia-0.90-2mdk.rpm is on CD2 of Mandrake 9.0 (I just checked) So either you do not have the 2nd CD, or else your CD sources are screwed up in Rpmdrake. You could either just insert CD2 and install dia by clicking on the RPM with konqueror, or else you could reset your CD sources in Rpmdrake. To do that from Mandrake Control Centre>Software>Software Source Manager select all the entries for your CDs and delete them. Close the GUI Insert CD1 into your CD drive (which I assume is /mnt/cdrom) Now open a terminal. Enter su to become root user urpmi.addmedia --distrib cdrom removable:///mnt/cdrom That will automatically insert all 3 CDs into the list of sources and you should then be able to use rpmdrake to install dia and lots of other applications.
