Qchem Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Sorry, I think theres a little misunderstanding somewhere, I was suggesting he searches for the original source program via urpmi and was under the impression that the current searching was for a possible glib dependancy. Either way, using urpmi is the way to go!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 oh...gotcha I was under the impression they wanted to install from source (compile) and that is what they were out to learn. So I was simply helping with the dep prob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Maniac Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Wouldnt I still have to go through this if I was tryin to install a program that wasnt available in rpm form? Oh and thanks for the link bvc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 if the app-version is not available as an rpm then yes, you have to compile it. The dependencies you are having are devel libs that are required for compiling. So... yes. did it compile, install and run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Maniac Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Ok it just gave me this message when installing that rpm: Some package requested cannot be installed: libglib2.0_0-devel-2.4.6-1mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied glib-gettextize[>= 2.4.6]) do you agree ?

bvc Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 me? I'd install it with rpm -ivh --nodeps libglib2.0_0-devel-2.4.6-1mdk.i586 and try the compile again. BUT, by the extreme very unlikely chance that some bug fix in gaim (that is what you are building?) requires both pkgs and maybe more dependencies in order to run or have the feature you want....you may not be satisfied. So you can at this point try the above, or continue to chase dependencies. If you chose to chase dependencies as Qchem suggested, you need some good, and more sources for urpmi so that all you have to do is urpmi libglib2.0_0-devel and all pkgs will be installed that are necessary to successfully run the compile.

Viper_Maniac Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Oh ok. I'll just ask this again: On the easy urpmi page, what do I really need to check? Just main and updates? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I havent done anything to urpmi just yet so thats why I ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 again, for what you're doing main should be enough. But most add plf and contrib as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Maniac Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Would it be worth it to add the updates or is what you said enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 well I've been cooker for a long time so I can't comment on Mandrake Update. I guess updates are good if you do not do them auto and select what is updated. That's my experience. For what you are doing right now? I wouldn't worry about updates.

thatguy Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I don't have a problem with 10.1 updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Maniac Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Ok now how do I figure out what to type in for urpmi to grab? I ask cuz I dont want to keep coming back here and bothering someone to tell me what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 If everything is set up, just type: urpmi packagename and it will grab the dependancies and main package for you, then install them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Maniac Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Ok. I tried to compile again and this time I got this message: (edit: dont need to show what came before this) checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed. configure: error: *** GTK+ 2.0 is required to build Gaim; please make sure you have the GTK+ *** development headers installed. The latest version of GTK+ is *** always available at http://www.gtk.org/. So I tried : urpmi gtk+. Do I have to be more specific? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I think the package name is gtk+2 for mdk, but I'm not sure. If you check out the man page for urpmi it'll tell you the various ways of searching for packages (urpmf?), or you can use the graphical front-ends in mcc.
