Dependencies of a package

[mafc]

Hi,

I want to install a package (rpm), but first I want to know which other packages should I install with this one to download and install them all at once. It is a server and I can't stop it continuously.

I want to know which are the dependencies on a rpm without having to install it. I don't have yum, my os is Redhat 4.

Is There a quick way to do this without having to navigate in the web of redhat?

Thanks.

Just run the rpm command and it'll tell you what's missing preventing install, i.e. 'rpm -uvh <package.rpm>'.

Also, you shouldn't have to stop your server to download the rpm's.

You should also consider adding the yum rpm to your system, it'll make all this an absolute breeze.

The server is of a client and I have to go to their cpd with all necessary rpm that I have to install. In the cpd I haven't internet connection to download the rpm's (I don't have a cd). I have to download here and install in the client.

Can you set up a shell service such as ssh using this control panel? If you're going to do system admin properly on a server, then you may need it. If you cant do this, can you hassle your service provider to give you shell access of some kind?
