RPM with FreeBSD

2002-11-24 Thread Janine C . Buorditez 
Hi.

I'm trying to install the full version of VMWare using RPM on my FreeBSD system.

I'm experiencing this problem:

aegis# rpm -i --ignoreos --root /compat/linux --dbpath /var/lib/rpm 
vmware-workstation-3.2.0-2230.i386.rpm 
error: failed dependencies:
/usr/bin/perl is needed by VMwareWorkstation-3.2.0-2230

Is anyone familiar with this? Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Janine

Looks like it wants /usr/compat/linux/usr/bin/perl.

Hi.

Unfortunately I have no /compat/linux/bin/perl, nor a /usr/compat/linux/bin/perl.

By the way, how do I tell RPM where perl is located? And why won't it use
/usr/bin/perl?

VMware 3.x doesn't work on FreeBSD due to lack of suitable kernel
modules. However, 2.x does, and it's even in the ports tree, under the
emulators section.

Of course it runs NetBSD!
