RPM needs RPM which needed that RPM!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what do i do???

[happybunny]

rpm -ivh *.rpm

i think this will install them all at once realizing their dependancies..

also, what distro?

Must be Mandrake, so use urpmi instead of rpm.

Yea, use urpmi. You will need to set it up first, which isn't hard. Just go to: http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php
and follow directions.

Then you can install with: urpmi gnome-python

If you use *.rpm it will install ALL the rpms in that directory. I don't think thats what you intend to do. Actually all you need to do is put them all on the same line. eg

rpm -ihv rpm1.rpm rpm2.rpm rpm3.rpm

and so on

That is of course one way though configuring and using 'urpmi' should take care of all the dependencies without the need to type out all the rpm package names on one line. At least that is what I've read here at JL as I've never used Mandrake or 'urpmi' myself.

You could also move all the gnome-python rpm packages to a directory of their own and use 'rpm -ivh *.rpm' which then should install in the correct order for the dependencies.

I would say setup and configure 'urmpi' now as it will likely come in handy down the road. :)

You wouldn't neccessarily have to type in the entire filename. Just enough so you can use the tab key function. But if urpmi is easier to use go for it.
