What does "file /bin/rpm" say? What do "rpm --version" and "rpm -qa" say? How are you trying to install packages (literal text please)? RPM failed using GNOME RPM, trying rpm from the command line worked. I have also tried using GNOME RPM with the GNU compilers and libraries, it still fails with the same error...floating point exception. file /bin/rpm says: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ALPHA(unofficial), version 1 statically linked, stripped rpm -version says 3.0.3 rpm -qa lists loads of stuff, but the not the stuff i tried to load, until i used the command line version of RPM. Try gnorpm-0.9-12 and rpm-*-3.0.4-0.36 from Raw Hide, there is at least one bug fixed in those packages that may be relevant to your problem. Changing component to gnorpm ... Probably an indication that -mieee needs to be added to the default rpm_opt_flags on the alpha - without it, lots of programs that work on other architectures will go boom on the alpha. *** Bug 8737 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I bet this is also a problem with not having -mieee on the Alpha CFLAGS :) Was this fixed ??? |
