I have downloaded a package from the Internet, and want to instal it on
the RH 7.3 system.
I have tried gnorpm, and can't find the package. I have copied it to one
of the default paths specified in the gnorpm Help->Install text, but, when
I open gnorpm, I can't find any way to find the package.
The package is opera 6.02.
I tried to instal it using rpm -i filename.rpm, in one of the directories
where I put it, and I get an error message;
error: failed dependencies:
libXm.so.2 is needed by opera-6.02-....
Is the error message because the required file or package is not in the
same path as the opera package that I am trying to instal?
