Thanks for all the information about package installation.  The installation situation seems pretty messy.  Still, standardization and easy usability seem desirable.  All easier said than done.

It seems to me that it would be desirable if the newly released versions of odin would contain, or at the very least be accompanied by, easily installed versions of the required latest dependencies.  I think it would be nice if it worked in a manner similar to that of the debian linux package manager, so that when a new package is installed, all the required dependent packages are also installed.  I am aware that there is an rpm/yum package manager for installing odin.  I tried to use it to install odin 0.8.2, but it seemed very confusing to use, and I could not get it to successfully install odin 0.8.2.  The warpin package manager seems to work pretty well when it works.  Any comments are appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks for the information about the libc064.dll file.  The new file should be placed in the ecs\dll subdirectory, I assume.  Is that correct?  What about having both the libc063.dll and the libc064.dll file in the same ecs\dll subidrectory?  Or will odin just ignore the libc063.dll file?  Thanks again for all your help and information.

I downloaded and unzipped libc064_test_1.zip.  It contains an apparently altered libc064.dll file.  I am not sure what to do with this file.  I do not want to replace my working libc064.dll file with this testing file.  The accompanying readme file indicates that the altered libc064.dll file is for testing purposes only.  Any instruction is appreciated.  Thanks.

After downloading and installing ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.4-csd4.wpi and then installing gcc4com-1_2_1.wpi, odin 0.8.3 works.  Thank you for providing the link to the libc-0.6.4-csd4.wpi file and instruction to then install gcc4core-1_2_1.wpi.  The odin test program that I had installed is still linked to odin 0.7.1 that was also previously installed.  I have not yet tried updating the libc064 package with the contents of ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/odin/test/libc064_test_1.zip, but I will try that next and then run odininst.exe from the odin\system32 subdirectory.  I expect that will also work.  Thank you for your help.

Well, I moved what I thought were the appropriate gcc 335 and gcc 446 dll files into ecs\dll, but odin still does not work.  I also tried installing gcc4core-1_2_1.wpi, but warpin complains of missing klibc\libc 0.6 Runtime \0\6\4\0 files or packages that I thought I had installed using libc-0_6_3-csd3.wpi.  I see that the gcc4core package contains the stdcpp.dll file that I am missing, but somehow I cannot manage to get the right files in the right places for odin 0.8.3 to run.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Okay, thanks.  I will try moving all these dll fies into ecs\dll and see if odin works.

Thanks for the infomation about how odin finds dll files.  According to your information putting the dll files in the odin\system32 subdirectory from which pe.exe is run should work.

Yes, thanks, the dll files should all be in the right places for system use, but they should also work for odin if placed in the odin\system32 subdirectory?  Odin 0.7.1, I think, is installed and working on my system, and the odin test runs correctly as does notepad from windows 2000.

Thanks.  I have gcc446.dll installed in the system32 subdirectory, but that does not seem to help.  Is there more to the gcc4core-1_2_1.wpi file?

I have not been able to install odin 0.8.3.  I tried the zip package and the WarpIn package with the same failed result.  When pe.exe is run, there is an error about not finding stdcpp in kernel32.  Odin 0.8.2 does not work for me either, memory problems, if I recall correctly.  Does anyone know about how to get odin 0.8.3 to work?  I am using ecomstation 2.1.  Thanks.

My personal experience with rpm/yum is trying to install odin 0.8.2 with rpm/yum.  I could not get it to work, and it seemed very awkward to use.  If a linux package system is to be used, what about considering a debian (deb) system?  It seems fairly easy to use.  WarpIn seems quite easy to use and usually works.  Why complicate things with a more complicated installation system.  Strive to make things easier for the general user.
