Dear Kevin, What do you mean, it doesn't work?
I have told you in at least two mails before that without detailed error descriptions, it's very hard to help you. Please make it a habit to detail your problems. Based on what I see in you mail now, it looks as if you are trying to install a source rpm. Those can't be installed. Or more precisely, when you install them, you really install a source package, ready to be compiled. What you would want, is either a binary package (for PowerPC, you can recognize them because their name has 'ppc' instead of 'src'), or you can build the source package: su - rpmbuild <packagename> The resulting binary package wil be found in /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/ (This last one is from the top of my head, since I don't have ydl installed right now). Just one warning though if you are going to build the package yourself: the package you tried to install is a package coming from the fedora core 4 distribution (see the fc4 in the name ?), and I'm not sure you can build this on yld4. I mean, I am not sure you can meet all the dependencies that your fc4 package requires. But it's easy to find out: just try the build.
