Oh,,, I've forgot,,, : ) ,,, I've tryed to install the driver,,, **fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.8.i586.rpm** after having downloaded form ATI site,,, with the command " rpm -Uhv fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.8.i586.rpm".... and I've got an error message as following,,, (just as shown on my screen ) error: Failed dependencies: /bin/sh is needed by fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.8 ld-linux.so.2 is needed by fglrx-.....(same file name : ) libc.so.6 is needed by fglrx-.... libd.so.2 is needed by fglrx-... libICE.so.6 is needed by fglrx-... libm.so.6 is needed by fglrx-... libpthread.so.0 is needed by fglrx-... libSM.so.6 is needed by fglrx-... libX11. so.6 is needed by fglrx-... libXaw.so.7 is needed by fglrx-... libXext.so.6 is needed by fglrx-... libXmu.so.6 is needed by fglrx-... libXpm.so.4 is needed by fglrx-... libXt.so.6 is needed by fglrx-... /bin/bash is needed by fglrx-... libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by... libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by... libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) is needed by... libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by... libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by... libm.so.6(GLIB_2.0) is needed by... libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by... *** end of messge
are you sure that the md5sum matches? which version of rpm2targz are you using?
Thank you, Luca for your comment : ) I'm a kind of "newbie" ; ) here in Gentoo Linux and haven't aquired all the knowledege of the OS yet,,, I'll try to find out what **md5sum** means : ) The version of RPM is 4.1... but something tells me that I'm not answering what you've really wanted to know,,, I'll stady for a few days,,, to get acustome to the system,,, and I'll be back... : ) Thank you again !!!
An md5sum is basically a signature for a file, to verify whether it's correct. The command `md5sum /path/to/file` will generate this. man md5sum has more info.
Thank you for your comment, Donnie : ) Yes,,, today,,, (after the week-end of good rest ; ) I've noticed that before I typed in the command " emerge -u ati-drivers", I've NEVER emerged the ** rpm 4.2_pre069,,, app-arch/rpm-4.2_pre069** insted of that,,, I've downloaded from RPM site the tar file and unpacked. (installed)... So this evening,,, When I come back from work,,, I jumped on my pc,,, and I imerged,,, ** rpm 4.2_pre069,,,app-arch/rpm-4.2_pre069 ** and ** rpm2targz 9.0,,,app-arch/rpm2targz-9.0-r2** then I tried the command " emerge -u ati-drivers" And " it' works !! " without error message,,, :)) Thank you for everyone for your support... And I'd like to appolozise for my question and ignorance,,, it' was a little bit "sutupid" :)) But surely,,, I'll back here,,, with anohter question,, ; ) cause I'm just newbie !! ; ) With my best regards, Takuo
OK, can't reproduce then. Closing.
