hi, i trashed my fedora 5 system in a spectacular way - i ran yum -y kernel-<version>. * notice the extra space in between the version and the star - i now am completely without packages! i'm thinking the best thing to do is get rpm back on the system and then put yum on (python survived the whole mess, suprisingly). when i simply copied the rpm binary from another fedora system to another, however, i run into a bunch of library dependency problems - some of the libraries got trashed in the process. after tracking them down by hand for awhile, i have thrown in the towel. i would like to compile a statically linked version of rpm. how do it do it? i don't know enough about the gnu autoconf family of tools to even hazard a guess. thanks for your help. -- _jsn _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
