This may sound silly, but some of my friends can't work it out either. Whenever I use rpm to install something, it never installs, for example: [root@localhost davluong]# rpm -ivh gtk+-1.2.8-1.src.rpm warning: user otaylor does not exist - using root warning: group otaylor does not exist - using root warning: user otaylor does not exist - using root warning: group otaylor does not exist - using root warning: user otaylor does not exist - using root warning: group otaylor does not exist - using root warning: user otaylor does not exist - using root warning: group otaylor does not exist - using root 1:gtk+ ########################################### [100%] [root@localhost davluong]# rpm -ql gtk+-1.2.8-1.src.rpm package gtk+-1.2.8-1.src.rpm is not installed This occurs with all rpm's.. So what I've had to do is use alien to convert it to slackware tgz format and manually make then make install it. What am I doing wrong. Appreciate all your help. David PS. If replying please remove bulk :)
