no bison/yacc package installed?
Calum:
well there's a kind of package manager thing if you go into the 'mandrake control center' (not the KDE or GNOME control centers) and it does allow you to install stuff off the CDs (the binary CDs anyway) and it does sugary things for you like satisfying dependencies and so forth.
KernelPanic:
hmm, he should install apt for rpm.

so was i when i tried that apt-get for rpm thing. it does not work with mandrake. it needs to be red hat for it to work properly. the reason is that red hat's directory structure includes directories called things like 'redhat' and this confuses red hat rpms trying to work with mandrake rpms trying to work with... well you get the idea.
KernelPanic:
I am sure it exists because there are apt for rpm repositories for mandrake. Why would it have the repositories if the client app didnt work?
Calum:
WOW!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
really? i was under the impression it would have to be mandrake! that was one of the main reasons i put red hat 8.0 on my new machine instead of mandrake 9.0, so i could use the apt-get thing for rpm (except my serial modem is incredibly slow and i can't figure out why). Good to hear there are repositories for mandrake but... how would one get all that working?
