If you haven''t got that (you didn''t tell what system you''re on), then you likely picked up the wrong file to begin with. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /''_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

Hello All, I have a vague memory of a program that would convert .rpm files to tarballs, but of course you lose all the dependency information. I never tried it myself -- I find that I have to install most things from source.
