aze Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 I downloaded jedit-4.0.3-1.src.rpm but I don't know how to install it. I double click it and it says it is already installed but I can't see it anywhere BTW the .jar pack is not for linux, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 do you want gedit? because if gedit is what you want, just open up a terminal, su to root, and type "urpmi gedit" it should then ask for one of the install cd's (probably cd 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aze Posted February 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 i mean jedit not gedit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 ooohh...ok, i wasn't sure since the topic said gedit and the post said jedit. with a .src.rpm you have to rebuild it, although I'm not sure how to do that. doing a search in this forum for "rebuilding src rpms" or the like may turn up an answer.

paul Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 with src.rpms you need to rebuild them as root: rpm --rebuild filename.src.rpm this will go through and *configure* the app for your machine you will end up with a rpm in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i*86 it depends on what type of machine you have ..... mine get put in i586 directory at home, and in i386 at work then you can install the app urpmi /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/filename.rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Actually, rpm --rebuild will soon be, no more. It is being replaced with rpmbuild --rebuild. If the command rpmbuild fails, install rpm-build. rpmbuild --help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aze Posted February 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 I tried as su rpmbuild --rebuild jedit-4.0.3-1.src.rpm rpm --rebuild jedit-4.0.3-1.src.rpm But both of them showed the foolowing message after print lots of lines on console: error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.50491 (%build) why rpms are so complicated? could be simply: ./configure make make install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Can you post the entire output after the rpmbuild --rebuild command? IMO, rpms are far less complicated and easier to build from source. It's usually a matter of having the right (exactly) version of an rpm though. Resolving the deps is the hardest part, which is why there's urpmi. It just has a little learning curve, but you get use to it and will get to where you won't use a tarball unless you absolutely have to.

fuzzylizard Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 I downloaded jedit-4.0.3-1.src.rpm but I don't know how to install it. I double click it and it says it is already installed but I can't see it anywhere BTW the .jar pack is not for linux, isn't it? First, you will want to download the rpm and not the src.rpm file. jedit is written entirely in java and, therefore, should not need to be rebuilt for your computer. Second, if it is already installed, try opening a konsole and typing in $ jedit & If jedit is installed, this will run the program Third, in order for jedit to properly run, you need to have hava installed on your system and properly configured -- ie the JAVA_HOME environment variable setup. Forth, .jar files are java files and can be used on any system that supports the java runtime environment. BTW, jedit is an excellent editor and almost borders on a full IDE once all the plugins are installed. I use it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
