Linegod_7611 : 07/12/02 09:10 PM : Reply received -   The rpm and the tar.gz are not compatible. You will have to uninstall the RPM prior to compiling and installing the tar.gz. # rpm -e nameofrpm I would, however, check to see if there is an updated RPM first - check http://rpmfind.net and do a search for the package. ---------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
