Lcrash HOWTO
Prev | Chapter 2. Installation | Next

# 2.2. Install rpm packages

To install the binary package, you can use:

    bash# rpm -ivh lkcdutils-4.0-1.i386.rpm

This should install lcrash properly. No further installation steps are required.

Installation of source rpm is done using:

    bash# rpm -ihv lkcdutils-4.0-1.src.rpm

This should install `lkcdutils-4.0-1.tar.gz` and `lkcdutils.spec` somewhere under `/usr/src`. On my SuSE system the files are saved under `/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/` and `/usr/src/packages/SPECS/`.

Now you can build and install lkcdutils using:

    bash# cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS/
    bash# rpm -bi lkcdutils.spec

Lcrash should know be built and installed properly as `/sbin/lcrash`. The lkcdutils source tree, which contains the lcrash sources, can be found under `/usr/src/packages/BUILD/lkcdutils-4.0/`.
