I tried to install Gyach Enhanced / pY! Voice Chat on Mandrake 10.1 (fresh install just hours before) so i can chat to my mates using voice, i clicked on the rpm file which i downloaded from http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourc....6-1.i586.rpm, clicked install it and it said

Some package requested cannot be installed:
Gyach-Enhanced-pYVoiceChat-1.0.6-1.i586 (due to unsatisfied pygtk[>= 1.99])
do you agree ?
tar:/home/ace/Applications/pygtk-2.2.0.tar.gz/pygtk-2.2.0

Then i clicked ok.d ok.

I googled pygtk, found and downloaded http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sourc...-2.2.0.tar.gz, is this the right thing to do but i cant install it, i dont know how. I extracted it and i dont know what to do.

Is this just for gnome because at the moment i'm using kde, do i have to switch, i ask because it says gnome in the address to the file

I'm very new to linux, please help

after extracting that
go to that diectory fromur shell using "cd"
then read the INSTALL file
it usually says
./configure
make
make install

also i skipped this dependency for gyach and it works fine for me

regards

I dont know what you mean, gyach is an .rpm file so i dont know what to do with that. So i tried this with the pygtk thing

I put this into the shell thing and got this, this is exactly what it said

Now what do i do?

How do i skip the dependancy?

hi there

try like this

rpm -ivh --nodeps Gyach-Enhanced-pYVoiceChat-1.0.6-1.i586

regards

[ace@localhost ace]$ rpm -ivh --nodeps /home/ace/Applications/Downloads/Gyach-Enhanced-pYVoiceChat-1.0.6-1.i586.rpm
error: cannot open lock file ///var/lib/rpm/RPMLOCK in exclusive mode
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

What does this mean?

u should try that as a super user or root

before trying that
run

su

regards

That worked thanks so much

good!!

and tell u gyach is really nice

It keeps randomly disappearing and hen i look in the system tray and the taskbar its not there, this may be related to UT2004 also randomly crashing, i'm not sure anyway but i havent tested gyach yet because my friend is not on yahoo for christmas

i have no problems wit gyach, and i have tried it on many systems

regards

Turning off animated smilies helped me with mandrake 10.1

I am on Redhat 9 and i and having the same dependency issue. I tried to update pygtk but the update stops because my version is less than 1.99. This seems odd. I installed Gyach with no depencies. When I try to run the program nothing happens.

I also tried installing this andf i get it running and then when i run apt-get upgrade it finds the failed dependencies and wont let me continue so then i have to run apt-get -f pgrade and it uninstalls the whole program i edited the apt.conf to skip it but then it cause more problems. I'm running FC3 i have the newest pygtk but it still asks for the 1.99 any thoughts

get the rpm package and install that with --nodeps option as mentioned above in the thread

regards

OK...I installed the alsa-lib rpm required by Gyach then installed Gyach with no depencies and it works; however, Gyach crashes at random.
