Try rpm -ivh --nodeps samba.rpm I think that rpm knows about that you don't have perl installd with rpm at /usr/local/bin.<br />
Btw. It's better to do a symbolic link insted of copying perl to /usr/local/bin.<br />
<br />
ln -s /usr/bin/per /usr/local/bin/perl<br />

I downloaded a recent SAMBA binary rpm. Everytime I try to unpack the SAMBA rpm file I get a message saying &quot;failed dependencies: needs /usr/local/bin/perl &quot;. I copied the perl file from /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin, but I still get the message when I try to unpack. &nbsp;I am using caldera openlinux 1.2. &nbsp;What's the problem?

Unpacking SAMBA rpm

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
