Shouldn't - they were built on the same machine. You can always try rebuilding the RPM to match your system - man rpm to find the right flags. > How can I use src.rpm instead? Like all other .src.rpms. You install the .src.rpm, which installs the various source files in RH's prefered locations (I misremember where that is ... /SOURCE maybe?) Then you install from the source files - it then has nothing to do with the rpm database. > Using src.rpm can avoid me to install all the dependencies I got with rpm? No. There are no spurious dependencies in the rpm, it requires the tools and libraries you will need to build from source. In fact, building from source requires MORE - gcc and gnu make. > Does the ntop 3.0pre1 need to be uninstalled before the new > instalation (the > 3.0pre1 was installed using tar.gz)? No. It's a good idea to UPDATE or FRESHEN rpms, so you don't lose customizations. But if you install code outside the rpm system, the rpm system doesn't know anything about it. > If needed, how can I uninstall the tar.gz? rm <filenames> Delete the .tgz (.tar.gz) file. Oh, you want to delete ntop? Then you need to chase down all the files it installed (which is based on your ./configure settings) and the files created at run time (e.g. rrd files). > Thanks inadvance. > > Regards, > > Wilson _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
