rpm installation problems

[vengeance]

well i tried 2 install w32codecs and wine rpm's from terminal but it gave me a weird warning.

warning: wine-0.9.43-SUSELinux10.2.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 0175623e

i checked out the forums but couldn't find nething coz there was no transitive lock error or sumthin like that as i tried 2 install those while logged in as root

when i tried the command it came up like this

# rpm -ivh wine-0.9.43-SUSELinux10.2.src.rpm
warning: wine-0.9.43-SUSELinux10.2.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 0175623e
1:wine ########################################### [100%]

even it was supposedly installed when i said winecfg it said command not found?
so what is this warning all about and how to get rid of it? thanking you in advance

You are installing the wrong packages. *src.rpm only contain source. The rpms you need to download should be *i686.rpm or something similar. The warning you got is probably because rpm does not recognise the GPG key used to sign the rpm.

It is easiest to install through Yast

thanks for your reply guys,well @gogalthorp yast is giving the package not found on the medium error.I checked on the dvd it had wine which i cud install thru yast-->s/w management but its not the updated version.

@daark.child well i'll check out the winei586.rpm but the same thing happens when i try to install the win32 codecs package here's the command for it and @gogalthorp i tried installing that thru YAST still the same error package not found on the medium

rpm -ivh w32codec-all-20061022-0.pm.0.i586.rpm
warning: w32codec-all-20061022-0.pm.0.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 3ab2ce5e

when this package kaffeine should play .avi and .wmv files na?or do i need to extract this in /etc/win32 or some directory like that ???
btw just out of curiosity what is this warning about? and can i extract the src file from
say wine-0.9.43-SUSELinux10.2.src.rpm and compile the .src file using ./configure,make and make install??or shud it be compiled thru gcc?

You need to connect Yast to other repositories see the link above

If you want the latest for Suse use the smart installer. Or at least add the repositories to Yast agian se the link above.

Smart comes with most repositories (called channels in smart) that have the most cutting edge packages that have been pre-compiled for you to run in Suse.

It is also faster then Yast

here are some repositories that may be useful that can be added to Yast or smart.

Yes you can use the RPM's from the original package sites but you really need to know what you are doing in most cases or you end up in dependency hell.

vengeance, as mentioned earlier, the error only means that rpm does not recognise the GPG key. It does not mean that the rpm did not install successfully. The 100% line shows that the rpm installed with no problems. As mentioned by others, its best to use YAST to install software from the SUSE repos.
