Laura, I think you hit the nail on the head -- it's probably just a permissions problem. This particular rpm only places files in your tinyos directory so the issue must be with simply running rpm. Note that the rpm command writes to the rpm database that stores info about what rpms have been installed, which files are in what rpms, etc..
Lastly, if it helps at all, many of the contrib/ucb apps in that version of the contrib rpm have been moved over to the main tree as well as the beta/Deluge directories (deluge 2.0). -kw On 10/25/05, Laura VANZAGO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Graham, > I'm in the admin group in fact, thanks.
