Dear Modeller Enthusiasts,
I am trying to download Modeller to an Intel core i7 system for use with multiple CPUs. I am using the command suggested at the installation website: "rpm -Uvh modeller-9.9-1.x86_64.rpm". Then I get the following: =========================== rpm: RPM should not be used directly install RPM packages, use Alien instead! rpm: However assuming you know what you are doing... error: Failed dependencies: /bin/sed is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 glib2 >= 2.2.0 is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 /bin/sh is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 /usr/bin/python is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libc.so.6.1()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.2)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libdl.so.2()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libglib-2.0.so.0()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libm.so.6.1()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libm.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.2)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libpthread.so.0()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libutil.so.1()(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 libutil.so.1(GLIBC_2.0)(64bit) is needed by modeller-9.9-1.ia64 =============================== I do know that /bin/sed, /bin/sh and /usr/bin/python are all downloaded in my system. I cannot understand why I am getting these errors.
For the 64 bit libraries, I would like to know how to acquire them correctly.
Thanks.

This suggests that you are using a Debian-based system, such as Ubuntu (Alien is a package which tries to convert RPM packages into Debian packages). I suggest you use the Debian package (on the Modeller download page) instead.

I see two problems here:
1. It looks like you have downloaded the IA64 Modeller package. This is for IA64 (Itanium) systems. That's not what you want for an i7 - you want the x86_64 package.
2. RPM assumes that every *other* package on your system was also installed by RPM. Since your system looks like it is Debian-based, this won't be the case, and so RPM won't be able to find any of the dependencies in its database. Use the Debian package instead.
