The bind package you installed was the source code. You need to compile it. To compile it, go to the directory where you download it to and type the following (as root): rpm --rebuild bind*src.rpm That should compile the source code and if all goes well it will create a binary file of bind for you to install. Where this binary file will be located will depend upon the architecture of your system. If you have a pentium III it is referred to as i686. If you have an AMD, it may be i586. You will need to know what architecture you are using. You can see this when your system boots or in any of the various system information tools. For example, your binary may be located in: /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686 -or- /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586 You can just navigate to /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/ and see where the file is. If you pay attention to the compile, there will be a BUILD statement at the end that tells you which directory the binary file is being placed in. Navigate to that directory. Then (as root) install the new bind binary you created: rpm -ivh bind*rpm --- cbulman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, I'm a Brand New Newbie..
