RPM package manager for OSX

[bxsci(macuser)]

now we can run some cool Unix programs on OSX

RPM for darwin

 

so.... i personally cant get it working

when i try to compile the tarball in termial i get this

 

"~ nyhardwareman$ /Users/nyhardwareman/Desktop/rpm-4.4.8.tar ./compile

-bash: /Users/nyhardwareman/Desktop/rpm-4.4.8.tar: Permission denied"

 

if anyone can help me thats great... so... hi

[Suzuka]

did you sudo?

It doesnt look like you untarred it - only un gzipped it.

 

try this on the Original tarball.

tar xzvf blahthetarballname.tar.gz

then cd into the folder created and execture the compile command with

sudo ./compile

 

also I recommend the fink project or Gentoo on Darwin project to be a much easier and as it looks, a much more developed and being updated choice.

ok... i followed what you said.... it went through all the ./comfigure things and then it went through all the make things

but when i got to make install, this happened

make install-am

make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.

make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.

Did you run it as sudo make install?

 

It doesnt look like you did because of this error

mkdir: /usr/local/include: Permission denied

[bxsci(macuser)]

now i get this
