Hi Guys,

I am really new in the Linux world, and I come across some problem
with installing rpm pakag.
I did download apt-get, when I try to install it with;
rpm -ivh apt-5.0 I get the Error saying;

error failed dependencies:
libreadline.so.4 is needed by apt-o.5
librmp-4.3.so is need by apt-0.5
librpmdb-4.3.so is need by apt-o.5
and so on, I know that I have to first install all of this
dependencies, but I do not know how do it.
could any one help me on this subject?


What kernel do you have? maybe the more accurate question is: how recent
is your distribution? you should be able to find those packages at
http://freshmeat.net, but you would have to ./configure and make them.
If you're not comfortable with that then a more recent distribution
would be the only other way I see. You could theoretically get the
binary distributions, but practically they pretty much are distribution
specific, so if you don't get one for (debian?) then the odds go down
dramatically that it will work properly.

Did you get apt-*.rpm for the appropriate operating system? Seriously, many
of those are basic libraries indeed, and I'm guessing that you have one from
a wildly divergent operating system. What OS are you working with?
