Hi,

Hello

I'm trying to install some rpm packages from

http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8 /E

verything/arm/os/Packages/ to rootfs-f8 (fedora8 arm).

I'm getting this error:

root@portatile-hp:~/Desktop/arm rpm# rpm -ivh

--root=/root/tmp/f8/rootfs-

f8 libXau-1.0.3-3.fc8.armv5tel.rpm Preparing...

###########################################

[100%] package libXau-1.0.3-3.fc8 is intended for a armv5tel

architecture

Is it possible to install these rpms on a x86 machine?

Those RPMs can be installed on a native ARM machines and are not intended to be cross installed. So you need a real ARM machine running Linux to install those RPMs natively or you can emulate ARM machine on your workstation using QEMU.

Note that the RPMs are built with armv5tejl configuration (ARMv5TE instruction set for little-endian ARM).

What's the corret way to add new rpms to rootfs-f8?

I suggest you start reading from - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM?highlight=(arm)

If you don't have real ARM hardware and willing to use the emulation through QEMU then the following howto is very usefull - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/HowToQemu

Thank you,

Francesco
