Need Help.

My problems connecting to DSL are caused by not having the linux-atm-lib file.
After downloading the file and trying to run it, the error message is:
Could not find RPM package in pool.

Where is the RPM package?

This is a new install. So far everything seems to work except DSL connection.

You do not run RPM files. Think fancy zip files. At the command line you use the rpm command. In most cases it is best to install packages via Yast. You will find it in the system menu. Select Software management then search for the package you wish to install.

Like @gogalthorp I guess you are doing something wrong. But as your information is not very exact and precise it is difficuult to see what you do.

You downloaded “the file”. Which file? Show us the exac name (prefarable by using an ls statement

ls -l <the-file>

You say you “try to run it”. Explain what that “trying” involves. We are not looking over yout shoulder, thus tell exactly what you do.

And gogalthorp is right of course:
. When that file is the library itself, you can not “run” it, you have to put it in the correct place (/usr/lib or /usr/local/lib or …).
. When it is an RPM file, you can not “run” it either (“running” in the meaning of “executing”), you let rpm or YaST act on it to install the package that is in it…

Thanks for the replies.
The following is entered to respond to some questions.

To fix a problem with a bug in the 11.4 UPGRADE,
I downloaded the recommended fix to set up DSL.
The self installing RPM package is:
linux-2.5.0.142.1.scr.rpm

To install a self installing package you simply
click on the package. When clicked A window opens
and asks, Do you want to install this package,
linux-2.5.0142.1.scr.rpm?
click on [Install]

It is not completely clear what you do, but do not use PackageKit (and thus KpackageKit). It is broken. Use YaST (right-click on the rpm and see if you can open with YaST), or use the rpm command as root:

rpm -i linux-2.5.0.142.1.scr.rpm

(after using cd to the directory where it is of course)
