Hi,
The problem mentioned in my last email was fixed by reinstalling the rpms
using:
rpm -ivh --replacepkgs *.rpm
I have another related question: if I move the packages (as shown as
*.rpm above) to another directory, say /home/anli/myApp/, and issue the
above command again, then will these packages be installed elsewhere
(/home/anli/myApp/), or simply overwrite the previously-installed one at
a unchanged directory? Simply put, it does not matter where you put the
rpm's, the installation of them will always go to the same place (in my
case, under /usr)?
No matter where you put the *.rpm file, when you install it, it goes into
the place it is intended to be (unless you tell it otherwise by trying to
change the prefix.)
Learn the RPM system. Do
rpm -qilp swarm-xxx.rpm
to see where the files in a package are going.
I think the other problem you had was this one:
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/SwarmFaq/SwarmOnlineFaq.html#5.5
and I don't think reinstalling the rpms made it go away. I think running
some other model that updated .swarmArchiver fixed it, or perhaps running
the model as a different user made it seem to go away. (did you test swarm
as root, perhaps?).
Thanks,
Li
