They have an example in there documents which used 'rpm -U' for installation. Which I used, but the documents didn't describe the RPM dependencies, I finally found the correct order of installation, at least I didn't get any error messages. I then went to the include directory to look at some of the .h files, there wasn't any, so I knew the installation failed. When installing the location ends up to be /opt/rtem-4.8/with many sub-directories. RPMs, I used: rtems-4.8-binutils-common-2.18-2.suse10.3.i586.rpm rtems-4.8-gcc-common-4.2.1-24.suse10.3.i586.rpm rtems-4.8-gdb-common-6.7.1-1.suse10.3.i586.rpm rtems-4.8-i386-rtems4.8-binutils-2.18-2.suse10.3.i586.rpm rtems-4.8-i386-rtems4.8-gcc-4.2.1-23.suse10.3.i586.rpm rtems-4.8-i386-rtems4.8-gcc-c++-4.2.1-23.suse10.3.i586.rpm rtems-4.8-i386-rtems4.8-gdb-6.6-9.suse10.3.i586.rpm rtems-4.8-i386-rtems4.8-newlib-1.15.0-23.suse10.3.i586.rpm rtems-4.8-newlib-common-1.15.0-24.suse10.3.i586.rpm -- MikeF Houston, TX -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
