Hi, im using mandrakelinux 10.1 since 1 month, and im having problems when installing soft...
I configured the mediums where mandrake should search for packages in the easy urpmi page, following the wizard and selecting:
For "Core Distributions", i checked updates and contrib.
For "Other packages" i checked source JPackage and source plf Free.
I also checked the option to use compressed indexes.
Im not sure what jpackage and plf free is, the only thing is that once i didn't checked j package, and there where some unsatisfied dependencies when installing...
First I installed Anjuta 1.2.2... what i did is simple, i searched "anjuta" in the "Install software" program (I think its name is drakrpm), and checked anjuta... lots of libraries and programs where checked too, so I downloaded approximately 150 MB, and installed it... it installed ok, i opened it, and it failed when compiling because there was no autoconf>2.5 .... y searched and find that my autoconf version was 2.59...
In addition, a little surprise was left by the installation... i dont know why, but after that, all my type associations for gnome where lost, i couldnt open even a .txt file, and I couldnt associate them back...
After that, i resigned anjuta (i never used it before, dont know if its good or not), and tryied to install KDevelop. (I'm a programmer, and need to stop installing things and begin to work quikly!!). Im not sure, i think it comes with mandriva, but i forgot to install it in the installation.
I did the same thing, with the install software app, I searched kdevelop, and 500 MB of dependencies where found... after installing, i had more surprises!!! (these where worse)
First, I lost my entire Application Menu. Then I tryied to run the "remove software" program, and it failed. From the console, when running "urpmi", i got a "command not found" message, and after urpmq, i got about 10 lines of errors, and it didnt work. I executed drakrpm from the console, and i receive a segmentation fault error... And I have KDE 3.3 now (the version which comes with mandrake10.1 is 3.2)..
So, i know that after a day (and night) googling and asking, maybe I can fix the problem (i think its with perl), but the main problem will still be there...
Im a bit disappointed, im installing things all the time, and i cannot enjoy anything of mandrake... Of course, that I am doing something bad, but dont know what... I will reinstall mandrake now, but please help me to find the problem... why does every installation bring problems?
Thanks for reading all this!!
