Only in the rpm database. rpm's view of what is installed is completely dependant on the rpm database - it expects to be managing all the packages on the system. Basically if you are using rpm to manage your system do not install any (system - you can do what you like in your home directory) software by any means other than rpm. If you want to package Tie::IxHash as an rpm (and you cannot find a package for your distribution) then have a look at cpanspec http://cpanspec.sourceforge.net/ [you will need an rpm build environment as well = I prefer to do that within mock - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock , but you could just use rpmbuild on your system] Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and not ITO opinion/policy - ] _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
