Re: [Pythoncard-users] Need help installing Pythoncard on SuSE 9.3

[<soh...@ad...>]

Thanks for replying.

The rpms were made for any distro that uses Redhat's Package Manager.  The Pythoncard web site includes install instructions for both Mandrake and Redhat (Fedora).  So, in principle, the installation of Pythoncard should work if the distro uses the package manager and the Linux Standard Base.  But as the failed dependency message below would seem to indicate, the command <rpm -i PythonCard-0.8.1-1mdk.noarch.rpm>, doesn't know how to find software that is clearly on my system.

Either that, or the problem is more severe.  (It could also be the case that I am not the superior life form that I think I am.)  :-)

You are trying to install a Mandrake rpm on a SuSE system.  I don't
know that much about how rpm works deep down, but it's probably
looking for a Mandrake python package in order to fullfill
dependencies.

It is possible to tell rpm to install something ignoring dependencies,
but I'm not so sure this is a good idea.

I seem to have everything that I need.  Can anyone help me get pythoncard installed?  If additional information is needed, please let me know.

Thank you for your time.
