ELDK 3.1 installation tells me "Wrong format of the rpm archive"

ELDK 3.1 installation tells me "Wrong format of the rpm archive"

[Edward Jubenville]

I tried installing ELDK 3.1 on RedHat 9,
but all I got was this:

   Installing cross RPMs
   Wrong format of the  rpm archive.

I'm a rookie, so I'm sure I screwed something up. I had downloaded
the ISO image to my Windows PC, made the CD there, copied the tree
onto my Linux box at /ELDKCD, then tried:

	./install -d /ELDK
and
	./install -d /ELDK ppc_6xx

What did I do wrong?

Did you verify the images?

I can only speculate: probablky your doenload was  not  performed  in
binary mode, and/or the image got corrupted. 

Pleas make sure to verify the MD5 checksum of thr ISO image  (or  the
MD5  checksums  of the file son the CD). RH 9 is one of the platforms
which are officially supported and tested.

[BTW: you may want to switch to ELDK 3.1.1 anyway :-) ]
