 Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2005 5:27 pm Post subject: Installing RPM in Gentoo |
 |
|
Hello,
I've got a RPM for Xilinx's FPGA development environment that I would like to install at home. They do not provide a tar.gz version where I might just unwrap it and slot it somewhere useful. It's intended for RedHat I believe. Anyhow, I've searched Google and it does seem like it should be possible to handle this inside of Gentoo, however I've not found any information on how to actually accomplish that. Preferably it'd be installed into /opt, but I suppose that might be asking too much.
Does anyone know how to handle RPM's inside of Gentoo?
Best regards,
Remillard

Do an rpm2targz on it and it'll turn into a .tar.gz

But is possible that this tar.gz can´t be installed at home. |

| Just install rpm and run rpm -Uvh --nodeps filename.rpm. |
