Installing rpm package in Ubuntu 6.06

[Aron Lopes Petrucci]

Hi everyone,

I'm new in Linux. I had begin last week. 

I'm not IT professional, I'm Engineer (Hydraulics), but I have some
experience in IBM-CP/CMS, XENIX, CPM-80, and o lot of experience in
Apple DOS, MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, 95, NT-4, 98, XP-Pro. 25 years at all.

I started with Debian 3.1r2, but I could not install LAMP enviroment in
it. I got only de "L".

Now, I'm using Ubuntu 6.06. I installed the "L" with Desktop CD (a great
success), and then, with synaptic and server CD I installed "AMP". So I
have a functional LAMP. It's Ok. The only thing that I made manually was
uncomment mysql.o line in php5.cnf: a piece of cake.

But, now, I'm trying to install MySQL GUI Query Browser, MySQL GUI
Admin, and Free Pascal "Lazarus". - I have a lot of hours in Delphi.

The problem: I have downloaded Lazarus and MySQL GUIs rpm packages
in /home/Software/Lazarus and /home/Software/MysqlGUI, then I use
synaptic menu: Files->add dowloaded packages (sorry, but my synaptic
menu is in portuguese, I don't know the exact command in English) and
browse to the location above. Then... the rpm packages are disable.

If I try a command line like rpm -i lazarus.... the rpm shows a lot of
missing libraries that I'm right that are in the system.

I think that Windows and the years let my brain slow!! 

Can anybody help me???

Thankx in advance
