I looked down the list and grabbed each one that had 'common' or 'suse' in the filename. The .h files are required to do any cross-compiling, none of them were there...... Instead of rpm -e I executed 'rm -rf /opt/rtems-4.8/*'. That wiped all of the sub directories. I then realized I screwed up and should of used 'rpm -e'. I went ahead and tried to use rpm -U to re-install the rpms, which didn't get anywhere because the message told me the rpm was already installed. Then I tried rpm -e, and the message I believe, was, rpm not installed. So now I'm thinking, I need to clean the slate and start over, then I sent an inquiry to this list. Could you give some explanation about using YaST... -- MikeF -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
