DOlson Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Here are the Blackbox RPMs that I made. I can't guarantee that they will work on your system, but they run great here. Get them at: http://aslan.no-ip.com/~dana/blackbox/ My theme is there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest defunct Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 what do you mean "Blackbox rpms" the rpms come on Mandrake??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted September 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 what do you mean "Blackbox rpms" the rpms come on Mandrake??? What? You mean the ancient 0.62 release? Yeah... I'll jump right on that one... My RPMs have patches (such as mousewheel and window snaps) and stuff like that. Not to mention that I have bbtools RPMs. Mandrake doesn't give you those. Think about it man... If I know how to compile Blackbox and make RPMs out of it, then I probably know that Mandrake comes with it and that that version sucks... I wouldn't waste anyone's time by posting a useless message with useless RPMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest defunct Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 what are bbtools? Because I use the 'ancient' blackbox that comes on the cds??

Guest defunct Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Alright I got all the rpms that I wanted, but when trying to install 0.65 (blackbox) i get the error that I need libstdc++so.5, I couldn't find this on rpmfind.net anyone know where i can get it? Also if I already have blackbox installed can I just install this one on top of it or do i need to remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 First I would try to see if you already have it in the distro, it's part of a gcc compiler. If you don't have it, then try this link and you'll find it there, but it's for solaris so I don't know how well that will work. http://sunfreeware.unam.mx/programlist.html As for installing the new blackbox rpms, you don't need to uninstall the old version first. Just: su to root rpm -Uvh blackbox.rpm This will simply upgrade it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted October 1, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 I would uninstall the old one, since Mandrake changes stuff in their RPMs. Then, to take care of the deps, I'd use urpmi blackbox-0.65.i586.rpm or whatever the file is called.

bvc Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 googlegooglegoogle :) Use the advanced search and type libstdc++ in the exact phrase>Enter. Then scroll down and click search within the results, type 5>Enter this is the result Which found http://at.rpmfind.net/opsys/linux/RPM/mand...-1mdk.i586.html google is a beautiful thing :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest defunct Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 bvc that link you gave me works to the page, but the actual file times out over and over.. I also tried a new search on google for GLIBCPP_3.2 because in urpmi thats what it shows in the parenthesis of the package file it needs that libstdc crap.. I guess i'm in a bind cuz i'm on 8.1 but thats ok I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 I'm on 8.1, at least a couple more days. Are you trying to install DOlson's rpm's he built for 9.0? If so that's your prob. You need to get the .65 yourself, either a .386, .src.rpm, or the tar. That probably goes for bbtools as well. From what I saw in the google search that libstdc++so.5 all mentioned 9.0. Not that it won't work 8.1, (I dk the deps because I haven't messed with DOlson's rpms). I don't have it on my 8.1 and I install bb.65 with the tar. But I went back to Fluxbox :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Yea, you'd have to update who knows how many devel pkgs, and it's not worth it IMO. That's why I'm getting 9.0, to mostly install and leave alone with exception of a handful of pkgs and the kernel. I'm tired of dep hell in upgrading pkgs in 8.1 :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest defunct Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 yea i need 9.0 too:!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
