    What does an unsatisfied pearl-devel mean?

    Some package requested cannot be installed:
    gaim-0.82.1-2mdk.src (due to unsatisfied perl-devel)
    do you agree ?

    I went to install gaim to see if I'd have better luck than with AMSN and it gave me this responce. What does it mean? how can I fix it?

    that was the entire message. it was a .src.rmp file. I opened it and a windows opened asking me if I wanted to install:

    You have selected a source package:

    /home/josh/10039.0.gaim-0.82.1-2mdk.src.rpm

    You probably didn't want to install it on your computer (installing it
    would allow you to make modifications to its sourcecode then compile it).

    What would you like to do?


    options:

    Do nothing
    Yes, really install it
    or Save file.

    I pressed yes really install and got this:

    Some package requested cannot be installed:
    gaim-0.82.1-2mdk.src (due to unsatisfied perl-devel)
    do you agree ?

    I don't know how I would install it through the terminal. I only know how to install things that were in that installer sticky, and even still I'm having issues (I got linux yesterday ) how would I install a .rpm file using the terminal?

    (yea I think it was rmpbuild)

    edit: I tried just openeing the file through the terminal like this:
    home/josh/10039.0.gaim-0.82.1-2mdk.src.rpm

    and got bashed


    bash: /home/josh/10039.0.gaim-0.82.1-2mdk.src.rpm: Permission denied

    How can I get permission/ install the bloody thing

    When I double click on the gaim shown in the picture, that window shows up...

    How should I be installing it if not through that?

    it's rpmbuild
    not rmpbuild
    and if man can't find that, then do:
    Code:
    rpmbuild --help
    to tell you how to use it
