Re: [Ltib] How to force install of rpm package?

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Svein,

If you run ./ltib it will only leave installed those package which are 
selected (with ./ltib -m config).  I suspect you don't have qtopia selected.


BTW: you should only be using ./ltib -p <pkg> if you're actually 
developing with that package or want to temporarily install it.

Regards, Stuart
