I want to install netpbm on my RH9 box, but when I run the rpm, I get the following error:
Code:
[root@ns rpm]# rpm -ivh netpbm-9.24-10.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        package netpbm-9.24-10.90.1 (which is newer than netpbm-9.24-10) is already installed

        file /usr/lib/libppm.so.9.16 from install of netpbm-9.24-10 conflicts with file from package netpbm-9.24-10.90.1
ok, so why not upgrade?
Code:
[root@ns rpm]# rpm -Uvh netpbm-9.24-10.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        netpbm = 9.24-10.90.1 is needed by (installed) netpbm-devel-9.24-10.90.1
why does dependencies always seem to cause so much heartache for me? I don't want to keep installing things....so, I am a bit confused about the install part of this....
The install attempt says
Code:
netpbm-9.24-10.90.1
so...I run a locate and which that result in:
Code:
[root@ns rpm]# locate netpbm-9.24-10.90.1
[root@ns rpm]# which netpbm
/usr/bin/which: no netpbm in (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/admin/bin)
[root@ns rpm]# locate netpbm
/home/admin/domains/xxxxx.com/public_html/demo2/gallery/setup/check_netpbm.php
/home/xxxxx/domains/xxxxx.com/public_html/gallery/setup/check_netpbm.php
/usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24

/usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24/GPL_LICENSE.txt
/usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24/HISTORY
/usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24/README

Once again, my novice skill got the best of me. I can't tell you what I am seeing. I was hoping to see something that shows me that netpbm is installed somewhere but I can't determine where the actual files are need.
End goal: path for Gallery and Coppermine software using NetPBM
