RPM for Mandrake 8.x or 9.x (and possibly other distributions):
RPM for Redhat 8.0: (you might want to read this before installing on Redhat 8.0) Old versionThis version is tested to work with Qt 2.x so if you have an older system and still use KDE2 then this might be the alternative for you. But I encourage you to try the latest stable version and report about the success or failure to the RPM Wizard maintainer.Tarball:  rpmwiz-0.6.1.tar.gz
RPM for Redhat 8.0: (you might want to read this before installing on Redhat 8.0)
RPM for Redhat 7.x: (you should read this before installing on Redhat 7.x)
RPM for Mandrake 8.x or 9.x (and possibly other distributions): Database files:These files contain information of the content of the distribution CDs. RPM Wizard will work without them but with limited functionality. If your distribution is not supported yet, please read below on how to help me get it supported. Create database: If your distribution (or some CD from your distribution) is not supported yet please download this script and run it for every CD of your distribution. It's very easy to run it; just start it from the command line with 'python rpmwiz-db.py'. It will create some files in your home directory. Please email those files to me. You can safely install RPM Wizard first and then install the database with RPM Wizard. Mandrake 9.1: rpmwiz-database-1.0-1mdk91.noarch.rpm

Note to RedHat users: Installing RPM Wizard on Redhat requires some extra installation steps. Note to SuSE users: RPM Wizard will unfortunately not work with Suse because there is no rpm-python for that distribution. Please mail me if you can create a package of rpm-python. To successfully install and use RPM Wizard you should have the following installed on your system: - Python 2.0 or newer - PyQt (use a fresh version) - Qt 3.x (Qt 2.x might work but is untested) - rpm - rpm-python (on Redhat 8.0: rpm404-python) PyQt and sipPyQt and sip are both needed for RPM Wizard to work. You can get RPMS packages of these from here.
For Mandrake 9.1 they can be found here: su root rpm -Uvh sip-[version].rpm rpm -Uvh PyQt-[version].rpm You might need to install some other packages too, like libsip9 and libsip9-devel. In Mandrake 8.1 and Redhat 8.0 PyQt and sip can be found on the distribution CDs. Instructions on how to install RPM Wizard on a RedHat 8.0 system:All packages needed for running RPM Wizard on Redhat 8.0 are available on the installation CDs. Except for the normal packages (python, PyQt and sip) you need to install rpm404-python. Note that this is not the same as rpm-python which is also available on the installation CDs. Install the packages as normal with eg. kpackage or from the command line with:su root rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm Instructions on how to install RPM Wizard on a RedHat 7.3 system:I've created an RPM of rpm-python to make it easier for you to use RPM Wizard on Redhat 7.3.Just download this file... rpm-python2-4.0.4-1.i386.rpm...and download PyQt and sip from here... ...and install them with: su root rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm You should also check that you have installed python2 which can be found on your distribution CD:s. Then just install RPM Wizard the normal way i.e with some GUI like kpackage or from the command line with 'rpm -Uvh rpmwiz.rpm' Drop me an email if you need help. I offer free support ;) Instructions on how to install RPM Wizard on a RedHat 7.2 system:There are some problems with installing and using RPM Wizard on RedHat becouse RedHat 7.2 and earlier still use Python 1.5 while RPM Wizard needs Python 2.1.Make sure you have installed python2 (that is the package with the name python2 that comes with your distribution, there is also a package named just python but that is an earlier version which will not work with RPM Wizard). 2.Get the RPMS for PyQt and sip from http://www.ohman.no/rpms/ and install them (The RPM for PyQt that comes with RedHat is for an old version of python so that will not work). 3.The version of rpm-python that comes with RedHat is for python 1.5 so it won't work. Download this file instead and copy it to it's correct location (on Redhat 7.2 that is /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/). 4.Install the RPM or tarball of RPM Wizard.
