Re: [MonetDB-users] MonetDB rpm issues
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 On Fri, Aug 08, 2008 at 03:49:45PM +0100, John Baxter wrote:
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

However, the "platform independent" RPMs are *source* RPMs that cannot be installed directly using, e.g., `rpm -i`. Instead, they have to be compiled (into platform-specific binary RPMs, first, e.g., via `rpmbuild --rebuild` or `rpmbuild --recompile`. See your systems RPM documentation (e.g., `man rpm` / `man rpmbuild` and/or http://www.rpm.org/ for a detailed documentation of RPM. Before compiling/building and installing MonetDB5-server-5.6.0-4.src.rpm and MonetDB-SQL-2.24.0-4.src.rpm you first need to compile/build and install MonetDB-1.24.0-4.src.rpm and MonetDB-client-1.24.0-4.src.rpm Stefan ps: We would greatly apprechiate if you would not sedn HTML(-only) emails/postings --- plain text is more than sufficient (and much easier to handle) ...
