Installing a rpm

Zeno McDohl · 08-06-2009, 02:46 PM

I'm trying to install duplicity via a rpm:

Quote:

[root@server ~]# rpm -i duplicity-0.5.18-0.fdr.6.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
librsync >= 0.9.6 is needed by duplicity-0.5.18-0.fdr.6.i386
librsync.so.1 is needed by duplicity-0.5.18-0.fdr.6.i386

Okay, so I downloaded librsync v0.9.8 and the README says:

Quote:

To build and test librsync from the extracted distribution do;

$ ./configure
$ make all check

I finish ./configure:

Quote:

config.status: config.h is unchanged

make all check:

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/librsync-0.9.7'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/librsync-0.9.7'

I get the feeling I'm missing something else, but the README says nothing more about what to do.

Of course the RPM still says

Quote:

[root@server ~]# rpm -i duplicity-0.5.18-0.fdr.6.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
librsync >= 0.9.6 is needed by duplicity-0.5.18-0.fdr.6.i386
librsync.so.1 is needed by duplicity-0.5.18-0.fdr.6.i386

What did I miss?

RPMs can only see other RPMs. If you install something via source, the RPM database is unaware of it.

Quote:

If you install from the source package, you will also need:

* Python development files, normally found in module 'python-dev'
* librsync development files, normally found in module 'librsync-dev'

Get the librsync from here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html

I'm using CentOS, which RPM is for that? Tried one and got

Quote:

[root@server ~]# rpm -i librsync-devel-0.9.7-10.fc7.i386.rpm
warning: librsync-devel-0.9.7-10.fc7.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
error: Failed dependencies:
librsync = 0.9.7-10.fc7 is needed by librsync-devel-0.9.7-10.fc7.i386
librsync.so.1 is needed by librsync-devel-0.9.7-10.fc7.i386

Try here then http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/librsync/ note the instruction at the top: These packages are part of DAG RPM Repository and may depend on other packages. Please consider installing Apt and rpmforge-release to automatically install packages and their dependencies. Only use the package for your distribution and architecture.

See also http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/s...0-0.9.7-2.html & http://packages.sw.be/librsync/ for other options.

Why haven't you configured Yum to download and install packages for you? http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Packag...ment/YumOnRHEL

I already have yum installed, but no one has answered my question/issue about it.

I don't use Centos or Duplicity, but I think I may have a solution in your thread.

John VV · 08-06-2009, 07:22 PM

first "rpm -i librsync-devel-0.9.7-10.fc7.i386.rpm" IS NOT MEANT FOR CENTOS 5.3 That is a VERY VERY old Fedora 7 rpm . although the two share some things and SOME Fedora rpm's do work on centOS ( i have a few fedora rpm -- games -- installed . Most will not work .

see the CentOS 5.3 wiki for the "tips and tricks" & "help "
http://wiki.centos.org/

and the how to for setting up the software repos
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

also here
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html

if you do not use yum to install then you will also need the dependencies
libpthread.so.0
python-boto => 0.9d
ncftp => 3.1.9
rtld(GNU_HASH)
rsync
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
python-GnuPGInterface => 0.3.2
python(abi) = 2.4
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
openssh-clients
librsync.so.1
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
/usr/bin/python
libc.so.6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)
gnupg => 1.0.6

I installed it via yum and it doesn't work:

GnuPG was not installed
from the dependency list above
gnupg => 1.0.6

Zeno McDohl · 08-07-2009, 09:45 AM

From what I can see, it's already installed:

oops it is , But is this prerequisite
python-GnuPGInterface

Zeno McDohl · 08-10-2009, 03:34 PM

I don't see that in yum.
