Guest siko9 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 (edited) Hi I have installed Mozilla 1.6 and Galeon and Epiphany didn't work anymore, I finally found an mdk rpm of galeon recompiled for moz 1.6 (galeon-1.3.13-1mdk) but when I try to install it (via cli with rpm -ivh) it says I need moz 1.6 installed. Moz 1.6 is there and running, but I guess that it is not found because it is the mozilla.org pkg and not an rpm? Is there any workaround for this? If you can help me with Epiphany too I will appreciate that. Thanks in advance. siko Edited February 17, 2004 by siko9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesea Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 you could try to force the install (with --force). also, you might wanna take a took in cooker for a 1.6 rpm and install that instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnkirby Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Try adding this source to your urpmi list, and than try updating either galeon or epiphany, either should cause mozilla 1.6 to also download and install via rpm/urpmi. Good Luck Capn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Get moz and libs/gal/and epiph here ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/unix/linux...6/Mandrake/RPMS downloading them to a directory>cd /to/them/> rpm -ivh epiphany-1.0.7-2mdk.i586.rpm galeon-1.3.12-1mdk.i586.rpm mozbla.rpm libnssblabla.rpm etc... or add the cooker url to your sources just to install them then disable or remove it.

Qchem Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 You've come across one of the problems of building from source in an rpm based distro. Probably the best thing to do is remove your build of moz 1.6 (PITA, I know), find a mandy 1.6 rpm - pref with xft2 support enabled - and install that. Your rpms for galeon / epiphany should then just work. Another option would be to build Galeon from source against your source mozilla install. Note, last time I built mozilla it took almost 2 GiB of disk space - you might find it benifical to use rpms instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest siko9 Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hi, thanks for your answers, unfortunately, I downloaded the rpm of moz 1.6 as you suggested but it asks for some perl files/rpms and libXinerama which, for what I found is at least an important piece of xfree 4.4... it is kinda overkill all that for just galeon... don't you think? perhaps there is some moz 1.6 rpm not compiled against Xinerama ? On the other hand, I loode into a couple of non-cooker servers and only found moz 1.3 in there :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
