RPM HELP

[sysop]

I want to install an RPM package that is in this format:

packagename.src.rpm

What kind of command sequence should I use?
The command "rpm -i packagename.src.rpm" does not work.
Thanks :cool:

which distro?
for mandrake you can run rpminst...

Get the binary package instead of the source package (will end in .i386.rpm as long as you aren't running something like sparc or alpha). Then you can rpm -Uvh it (better than rpm -i)
