I downloaded that rpm and let file roller do it's thing. no errors or anything.
so i went back to install my program.rpm and let file roller handle that and again with the libcurl.so.2 error
That should have worked - did you install the rpm? rpm -ql compat-libcurl
What does that output?
other suggestion was to go with progr.src.rpm installation which is ok but i didnt' quite know what to type in command line to make that work. no installation instructions from the site.
i tried #rpm -ivh program.src.rpm but i'm sure that wasn't right as it didn't work.
what should i type please?
Follow these instructions to create an rpmbuild environment:
http://mpeters.us/linux/rpmbuild.php
They are fairly simple. Then - as a standard user run:
rpmbuild --rebuild program.src.rpm
If you get failed build dependencies, you need to install those before you can build it. For example, if it says it needs curl-devel - then
yum install curl-devel
-=-
That really is more than you should need to do though, you should be able to install the mentioned compat-libcurl rpm and it should work.
