They operate at different levels... If you try to rpm -ivh something,
and its deps aren't met, it'll simply tell you that and not install. If
you use yum, it'll try to find the packages that satisfy the deps and
install them along with the package. Its all rpm underneath, but yum
handles the "rpm dependency hell" for you. (very similar to how debian
uses the dpkg format, but apt to install and auto-solve dependencies)


[Labitt, Bruce] So say I have a directory of vtk related rpms that I
just generated from this spec file.  Would this work for installation?

[root @myhost /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64]# yum localinstall vtk*

This should install all the vtk related rpms that I just generated?

Thanks!
