Retroclient installation on Slackware

[takeaki]

Hey

 

I know this client isnt officially supported on slackware (from what ive read) but is there a way to get it working ?

 

Im getting this error message when i try to install the rpm file:

 

root@blah:/files/Install Retrospect Client/Linux/Installer# rpm -i retroclient-65.rpm

error: failed dependencies:

/bin/sh is needed by retroclient-6.5.108-1

What ive done so far is checking the web for lib updates and trying to reinstall the missing ones, without luck tho. Some didnt had the version that i need, some i couldnt even find in a rpm file to reinstall, bin/bash is already on my machine but it still doesnt find it it seems.

Since im no real linux expert, maybe someone here can help me fix this, or tell me if its useless since it wont work anyway at the end...

 

thx in advance

Hi

 

I think you will have a lot better luck installing the tarball rather than the RPM.
