Description Need Real Name 2000-10-27 01:10:33 EDT 
When I try to install any programs on RH 7.0 using grorpm I get the
following message:
gnorpm - auth
(process 1243)
has crashed due to fatal error
(segmentation fault)

I have tried to install various updates from the Red Hat Network, Star
Office and
Real Player for Lynix and all give a similar message.
The number after the process seems to vary...

History:
I originally Installed RH Linux 6.1 on a machine and then purchased the RH
7.0 before
installing any programs under 6.1.  
I got a modem and soundcard to work under 7.0 now, but have not been able
to install 
any programs other than what came on the CDs from Red Hat.

When I get this message I am directed to a GNOME Web site.  I found a
similar issue
reported there with RH Linux 7.0 with no resolution to it.

I am new to Linux and would appreciate any pointers in other ways to
install packages or
how to work around this one.  From what I can gather using the RPM packages
is the 
best way to install new programs if I could get it to work....

My machine is a 90 MHz Pentium with 64 Megs of RAM and a 2.5 Gig HDD.
I completely removed Windows from the Hard Drive before installing Linux.

Thanks!

I think this is a duplicata of Bug 19301. I have the same problem. 
You can work around this by using rpm to install packages. Just type (in a gnome
terminal, xterm or whatever)
rpm -ivh /path/to/package-you-want-to-install.rpm
If you are upgrading a package, use -Uvh instead of -ivh.

Throw away the Red Hat rpm and get the gnorpm build from 
ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/Gnorpm

That one works

Thanks for the help.
Both the command line prompt from xterm and the newer version of Gnorpm from
Linux.org worked.
