error installing packages "krb5-libs" ; AND NVIDIA troubles

[SaTaNcLaUz]

i am having difficulties installing packages from the RedHat 8.0 cd, this is what i get, no matter what i select:



anyone have any idea? im totally confused (read: i use windows mainly, i am clueless!)

thanks in advance!

well, seems to have to do with kerberos... but why wouldnt it let me install packages because it was missing?

-- edit 2 --

ok, now i feel dumb, i search and search, but, i only find answers after i post : , anyway... evidently its looking for my pervious version of kerberos, so its erroring out when i try to install anything...

how bout, i boot up to my pervious kernel, will it do a 'rollback' on the kerberos too? or will that just cause more problems?

i just dont want to hose my system

hello,
lets see what you have for krb5, open a terminal and type rpm -qa | grep krb - it looks like you are trying to install krb5-devel - right?

hi!

i have:

krbafs-1.1.1-6
krb5-libs-1.2.5-7
pam_krb5-1.56-1


thats why im so confused, i know i have the newest version because i did the update when the patch was released, but it still wants the old one

what i'm trying to do... to make a long story short... trying to update my NVIDIA drivers so i can enable hardware accelleration, and i need some more packages installed to do it, but i cant install any packages because it keeps erroring on this

how can i 'roll back' my kerberos version? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhH!!!

i feel like such a n00b!!!!!! (well i am for linux )

thanks!

hello,
i have no idea why the nvdrivers would care about this, i assume you are installing the src rpms for nvidia - right?

what i see happening is that you updated the krb5-libs and are now trying to install the old krb5-devel from CD, while it should also be updated per this webpage (look at the redhat 8.0 stuff)

http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-242.html

if you did an up2date and updated your devel stuff it would most likey stop whining.

if you you can probably simply skip installing the krb5-devel, it really should not be needed for the nvidia drivers.

[SaTaNcLaUz]

yea, i used up2date, but, i wonder why its trying to install krb5-devel? it gives me this error if i try to install ANY packages from the cd...

well, maybe you can steer me in the right direction concerning the driver then


# rpm -ivh NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm

and then i do the GLX:

# rpm -ivh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.src.rpm

i was just trying to go by what the people in the NVIDIA forum said...

what do you think? i'm still not able to enable hardware accelleration, nor do i have a new NVIDIA option in my adapter selection screen

im sorry to be a pain

and i think the search is broken... because i just came across the NVIDIA thread in one of the other forums....

and i know i searched!

[pbharris]

try rpmbuild --rebuild -target <processor> NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm and then rpmbuild --rebuild -target <processor> NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.src.rpm

where <processor> is you CPU type, this can be i386, i686, athlon and a few others.

then install the packages by doing the

rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<processor>/NVIDIA*

be sure to comment out DRI in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config and change nv to nvidia

bash: rpmbuild: command not found



i am just having NO luck with this :'(

[pbharris]

okay - here is what you need to install:
rpmbuild
gcc
make
kernel-source

kinda pain in the hiney i know... odds are make and gcc are already installed, and pretty good odds kernel-source is already installed.

[pbharris]

and ya need to be root to do rpmbuild!
