Thank you. I would not have discovered that by myself, in a hurry. . .
It had a dependency problem. It requires libbinutils2-devel. I cannot
find this animal in the SRPMS subdirectory or in cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/
but I did find a binutils-2.10.0.24-4mdk that I thought might contain a
libbinutils, but that was not to be. sigh.
Where might I get libbinutils2-devel? John T
