I tried to install an rpm source package on my FreeBSD (e.g. rpm -i gimp-0.99.9-src.rpm), however I got the error message as followed: cpio: unrecognized option `quiet' complete Is this really the problem? If yes, where should I modify the source? Has anyone had experiences using rpm management for compiling and installing packages on FreeBSD? -- RT
