\_ SMTP quoth Mark Moynahan on 6/30/2002 01:16 as having spake thusly: \_ \_ I've just installed linux(Mandrake 8.1) and I'm trying to get emacs \_ installed. Disk 2 of Mandrake 8.1 is in the cdrom and accessible. When I run \_ this command 'rpm -ivh emacs-X11-20.7-17mdk.i586.rpm' I get this error \_ message 'error: failed dependencies: emacs is needed by \_ emacs-X11-20.7-17mdk.i586.rpm'. Any suggestions on how to get Emacs \_ installed would be greatly appreciated. Look for the emacs-*mdk.i586.rpm package and install that first/concurrently. emacs-X11 is 'naturally' dependent on emacs, no? :-) David
