Stefan,

Thanks very much for replying, i really appreciate it.

These are the RPM's i have tried:

MonetDB5-server-5.6.0-4.src.rpm
MonetDB-SQL-2.24.0-4.src.rpm

I'm only installing this on a local centos install. I downloaded the RPM's to the root of the filesystem and ran them from there.
I'm running cenos from it's GUI at the moment so it would be the GUI that gave me the error messages.

Thanks

John

Hi John,

which "platform independent RPM's" are you refering to?

On our download page on SF we only provide Fedora 8 & 9 (binary) RPMs as
well as source-RPMs --- only the latter are platform independent, except
that the target OS need to obviously provide RPM support in general.

How exactly do you try to install the (source?) RPMs?

And who (i.e., which program) give the error messages?

Stefan

Stefan,

I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you. You were kind enough to help me  
once before when i was having trouble installing MonetDB and i'm having  
trouble again.

I'm trying to install the platform independent RPM's on centos 5.2 but  
it is saying that it "cannot install source packages" and then "no  
packages were given for installation"

Are the RPM's usable at the moment?

If you can offer any advice that would be great.

Thank you

Kind Regards

John Baxter
