PAN on Mandrake 8.1 MiniHOWTO

by Toby A Inkster

 

Installing 0.11.9x and onwards on Mandrake 8.1 is a bit of a pain because PAN is starting to migrate towards GNOME 2 and Mandrake comes with GNOME 1.4. However it can be done. This HOWTO describes installing PAN from source code, but if you use RPM you may save yourself some of the headaches.

 

This routine worked for me, but your milage may vary. If you come across any problems that I didn't outline here, email me at the address above and I'll add them to this document.

 

For simplicity I shall give all the instructions as if you were logged in as root. In reality you only need to be logged in as root for a few of the actions.

 

PKG-CONFIG

 

Go to this website and download the source tarball for pkg-config 0.12:

 

At the command line:

 

Code:

                       $ tar zxf pkgconfig-0.12.0.tar.gz

                            $ cd pkgconfig-0.12.0

             $ ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install



 

 

GTK2

 

PAN 0.11.9x onwards uses GTK2 instead of GTK1.x. To install GTK2, go to this FTP site:

 

Create a temporary directory on your hard disk and download the following files into it:

* glib-2.0.1.tar.bz2

* atk-1.0.1.tar.bz2

* pango-1.0.1.tar.bz2

* gtk+-2.0.2.tar.bz2

 

Now, for each of the packages (in the same order as given above):

 

Code:

                          $ tar jxf PACKAGENAME.tar.gz

                               $ cd PACKAGENAME

             $ ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install



 

 

The last package (GTK2 itself) will take quite a while to build, but the others shouldn't take very long.

 

LIBXML2

 

You could try building PAN now, but I think you'll probably need to upgrade libxml2 as well. Go to your favourite Mandrake Cooker mirror. Mine is at

 

And download these files:

* libxml2-2.4.21-1mdk.i586.rpm

* libxml2-devel-2.4.21-1mdk.i586.rpm

(You might also want to download the -python and -utils packages)

 

Now install them using:

 

Code:

                             rpm -Uvh libxml2-*.rpm



 

 

CONCLUSION

Now all the dependencies should be satisfied and you should be able to install PAN.

 

One caveat: because you installed GTK2 (including Pango, GLIB and ATK) from source code instead of using RPM files, the RPM program doesn't know that the new versions have been installed. If RPM complains that you haven't got any of these installed:

* libatk-1.0.so.0

* libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0

* libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

* libglib-2.0.so.0

* libgmodule-2.0.so.0

* libgobject-2.0.so.0

* libgthread-2.0.so.0

* libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

* libpango-1.0.so.0

* libpangox-1.0.so.0

* libpangoxft-1.0.so.0

 

Then you should over-ride it using "rpm --nodeps".

Question.......

_________________________________________________________________

 

 

Ive gotten 0.11.3 to work great in Mandrake 8.1, and all facits of the program seem to be functional (yEnc support, etc..). What I can't figure out is how to join files off of a news group, that

use a foreign bat file.

 

Example:

(Download files)

 

File.mpg.bat

file.mpg.000

file.mpg.001

file.mpg.002

file.mpg.003

 

The bat file reads :

"

Save all MasterSplitter pieces in a temp directory and use MasterSplitter or JAS to rejoin all pieces into MPG format. You can cut the last piece (the .BAT piece) and past it into a .BAT file to rejoin the pieces if you don't have MasterSplitter or JAS.

 

You can get the latest "free" version of MasterSplitter direct from the author at

 

@echo off

echo.

echo Generated Using MasterSplitter

echo.

echo Recreating the Original File From the Pieces.

copy/b "file.mpg.000" "file.mpg"

copy/b "file.mpg" + "file.mpg.001"

copy/b "file.mpg" + "file.mpg.002"

copy/b "file.mpg" + "file.mpg.003"

echo.

echo All Done Joining the Files.

"

 

What is JAS, why doesn't Master Splitter have an rpm, how do I do this without windoze?

Thanks

 

If you help me, I'll give you my first born.
