I got them off of Rpmfind.net, I don't really get anywhere when I do "rpm -ivh ./*":: [root@shredder clib]# ls glibc-2.3.2-5mdk.i586.rpm libstdc++-devel-3.3-7.i386.rpm libstdc++-3.3-7.i386.rpm [root@shredder clib]# rpm -ivh ./* error: failed dependencies: initscripts < 6.91-18mdk conflicts with glibc-2.3.2-5mdk libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.3) is needed by libstdc++-3.3-7 [root@shredder clib]# I really have no idea about what I'm doing though. I'm thinking about giving Gentoo a try based off of the positive stuff I've heard here, All I really want is to run "mjpegtools."
