if you're using Ubuntu, don't bother with rpms

To install programs, use aptitude/apt-get

For example, to install gcc you'll run

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install gcc

If you don't know the exact package name of the program you're installing, use
$ apt-cache search , where program is the name of the program

Alternately, there's the Add/Remove programs program that does this all with a GUI.



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
