This is what I tried

Code:

WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get
EXCLUDE=^kernel-.*

SOURCE=http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware/addon/slacky/slackware-12.0/
SOURCE=ftp://mirrors.blueyonder.co.uk/sites/ftp.slackware.com/slackware-current
#Tryed this to get packages off the DVD-Rom drive
SOURCE=mnt/cdrom/
SOURCE=file:///mnt/cdrom/

If you look in the slapt-get faq usually in:

Code:

---

/usr/doc/ slapt-get version number/FAQ

---

you will find info about sources that can be used. Also check:

Code:

---

/usr/doc/slapt-get-0.9.12a/example.slapt-getrc

---

for more info on valid sources YES you can use a dvd/cd/local file as the source if you so choose.

In your slapt-getrc file you would edit the source list to point to your file and comment the other sources out so that it will pull from the local file only.

Just remember that in Slackware/BT the dependencies are not installed for you,you must do this manually and it must be done first. :cool:

Your right to a extent however /mnt/dvd as a source will not really work in his situation unless he was only after a .tgz file or some other archive. Once a makeinstall is done the files could be in any number of places.

True True
I was thinking along the lines of someone doing some type of company wide upgrade or something and wanted to use a local server as the source or maybe a home user using another computer as the source through samba or some weird stuff like that.

When i write:
slapt-get --add-keys

Does anyone know the fix for this. i have removed gslapt several times and reinstalled it from slapt and also i have tried to install it from the modules pages on slax's page.

I have also Googled the error with no results.:confused:

still when i start it from the terminal gives me the error above.

If i am missing some thing in the thread that is the fix i apologize in advance, i have been know to miss something that i am staring right at.:o

What are you doing when this happens? are you typing "gslapt" from the command line or what?

If so then you should see that the slapt-get gui pops up onto your computer allowing you to download packages.

Or are you using at the command line "slapt-get" ??

I am typing gslapt at the command prompt. Once gslapt comes up and i try to run update it run for a few and then it will crash with the message in the command prompt "gslapt: symbol lookup error: gslapt: undefined symbol: slapt_init_source_list"
