in thread Cannot find SDL library with PPM

the following command failed: ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Class-Inspector.ppd, it reads:

C:\Strawberry\codes>ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Class-In

    The package PPM-Sisyphusion has already installed a file that pack
+age Class-Inspector
    wants to install. Uninstall PPM-Sisyphusion, or use --force to all
+ow files
    to be overwritten.

The rest of the commands i haven't used yet.

    Uninstall PPM-Sisyphusion, or use --force to allow files to be overwritten

    Either way should work.
    PPM won't overwrite a file of the same name - even if it's identical (as will always be the case with my ppm installations).
    It looks like Class-Inspector is going to install its own files plus the ones that PPM-Sisyphusion did, so I'd probably run: 
    ppm uninstall http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/PPM-Sisyphusion.ppd
and then the other commands:
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Class-Inspector.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Capture-Tiny.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/File-ShareDir.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Alien-SDL.ppd
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/SDL.ppd

    I'll be off-line now for a few hours - but I'll pick up again in the morning when I wake up.
    Hopefully it'll be plain sailing from here, anyway.

    Cheers,
    Rob
