Re: Learning BDI Emc - Outputs

I got the files you mentioned (rcslib-2.10 and EMC-2.10).

I burned then to a CD and with that CD in the drive I did:

cd /mnt/cdrom
rpm -ivh rcslib-rtl3.0-2.10.i586.rpm

I got the following message:

error: failed dependencies:
         rtlinux-3.0 is needed by rcslib-rtl3.0-2.10

I then entered:

more /proc/version

and get the message:

Linux version 2.2.18-rtl3.0 (root-at-B5)(gcc version egcs-2.91.66
19990314/
           Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 Tue Mar 13 22:43:46 GMT
2001

So now what do I do?
Should I be in a different directory to do the rpm command?
Or do I first have to link something?

Boy, it sure would be nice to have a font that would make it easier
to discriminate between the numeric one and the alpha one.  I have
agonized over that numerous times.
