So I missed something > somewhere. Any hints? Hello John, the binary package is build on SuSE-10.1 and I don't know the particularities of Slackware. What are the error messages? Perhaps problems with dependencies or conflicts. Anyway: if you want rpm to behave like tar, then "rpm -i --nodeps --force" should to it. My favourite way to get teTeX running: rpm -i http://pmrb.free.fr/work/OS/ConTeXt/tetex/tetex-3.0-X.nosrc.rpm rpmbuild -bb --force /usr/src/packages/SPECS/tetex.spec rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/tetex.spec rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/YYY/tetex-3.0-X.YYY.rpm In fact, during the build process, I execute just the instructions on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation (and a bit more). Perhaps, I'm not allowed to distribute the big binary package, so I'll probably remove it soon. Everything should work fine with the nosrc-package. If not, your feedback is welcome.
