You can install the app by doing rpm -ivh app.rpm. By installing the app, you of course place the files in the rpm package to the appropriate dirs. To see whats in the rpm file, issue the command: rpm -qip app.rpm. To query whether the app is installed in your system, do a rpm -q app . To check what package a specific file belongs to, do a rpm -qf /whereveryourfileis/filename. It'll show the name of the rpm package. rgds, sanjay > i downloaded these files glib-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm, > glib-devel-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm, > gtk+-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm, gtk+-devel-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm what command do i type > to > unzip them? i tried reading the man pages but they don't make sense to me > -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
