regarding rpm installation

[vvsha]

Hi

Can anyone help me for the following activities

1) how to install source rpms, For example glibc-2.3.2-95.30.src.rpm


2) How we can find out dependancies rpm for a perticular rpm.


I am using RHEL 3 .

Please help me on this ....

Shalom,

To build from source you need an rpm called rpmbuild installed.

Then its just rpmbuild glibc-2.3.2-95.30.src.rpm

man rpm.

rpm -R
rpm --requires

You can force an rpm to reveal its dependenciess.

you can install rpm like

rpm -ivh glibc-2.3.2-95.30.src.rpm

[Ivan Ferreira]

Normally, you use:

rpmbuild --rebuild glibc-2.3.2-95.30.src.rpm

This will generate the "binary rpm" in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/* directory.

Then you can install the resulting rpm file with rpm -ivh.

how to find out all dependencies of a rpm installed.

also how to find out all dependencies of a new rpm.

rpm -q --requires for installed rpm.

rpm -qp --requires for not installed rpm.

The command basically returns a list of files that must be on the system.

Then you can go over the list with this command:
"rpm -q --whatprovides " and it will return you the package name.


# rpm -q --requires lftp-2.6.3-6

please type the below commands for installing and finding the dependencies.

rpm -ivh glibc-2.3.2-95.30.src.rpm (installing)

rpm -e -nodefs glibc-2.3.2-95.30.src.rpm( checking the dependencies)
