Hi again, Since I was getting the seawolf list in digest mode - I didn't know how to respond to a particular message - i.e. Michael Schwendt's response to my initial message.
Michael - thanks for your help! When I did the rpm query that you suggested - gcc-c++ is missing. I will look for it in the RPM packages on redhat. This brings up another point - when I'm installing RPMs - as in the case of gcc, how do I found out all of the RPMs that I need to get? So to continue with gcc (as an example)- when I downloaded gcc-3.0.1-0.1.i386.rpm, I then found out that I needed to get: binutils-2.11.90.0.8-8.i386.rpm, glibc-2.2.3-2.i386.rpm, glib-devel-1.2.9-1.i386.rpm Is there a document or listing that tells me all of the dependent RPMs that I need for particular app (or compiler in this case), without going through rpm install trial and error?
