Error when installing ATI rpm

[hlstriker]

Hi everyone, I am trying to install my ATI graphics card driver with the rpm, but when I go to install it I get this error. I have had an error like this before on another distro of Linux, but I forget how exactly I fixed it. I think it was something to do with the "ln" command or something. Here is the error I am getting.

If someone could help me that would be great! Thanks

Maybe it would help to first convert the .rpm package to a slackware package (.tgz) with alien:

fakeroot alien -t --scripts package_name.rpm

Then install the resulting .tgz package.

[hlstriker]

When I tryed that it said "-bash: fakeroot: command not found".

[antidrugue]

Then install the fakeroot package from the slackware repository.

[hlstriker]

Well that's a problem

I have never done that before, and I don't have a clue how. I am still fairly new to using Linux and only know the very basics

Could you or someone tell me how please, I really need to get this all working!

[antidrugue]

You can read that:
http://www.slackware.com/config/packages.php

And use rpm2targz instead of the command I gave you:

rpm2tgz package_name.rpm

For package management, you can use
-slapt-get (command line version)
-gslapt-get (GUI version)

Here is link to download slapt-get:
http://software.jaos.org/#slapt-get

[hlstriker]

Great! This is all fixed now

[antidrugue]

Great!

Try to learn slapt-get as best as you can, it is a very useful tool.

[hlstriker]

Ok, will do I really appreciate all the help you have given me.

Now on to my next problem in another thread
