Re: upgrade question


Hi Peter,


My actual question, then, is how do I upgrade an RPM-based binutils
package without an upgrade RPM?

One possible way is to download the sources for a more recent version of binutils (eg 2.15), run configure and then make but, rather than running "make install" use the checkinstall program instead:

This will create an rpm from your built binaries and install it for you.

Cheers
  Nick
