Problem with dependencies

konzo · 01-25-2010, 02:05 PM

I am trying to install soprano needed for installing kdelibs. I found soprano on sourceforge and install it without an error. My previous version was 2.2.3 and now I install 2.3.70. The installation gone without a problem, but when I try to install kdelibs it says that my soprano version is 2.2.3 and need to update it.
Do I have to uninstall version 2.2.3 and then install 2.3.70 and how?
I have never uninstalled software before. Until now I only installed and don't know how.

Hello there! Are you installing kdelibs from the command line or from a package manager?

Tell us the procedure you had followed to install soprano

I am installing kdelibs from command line.

The procedure for soprano:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
su... become root
make install

There are no errors occured during the installation, but when try to install kdelibs, the old version is active.

The "old version" : Probably in /usr/ ( as default ).

New version : Hiding in /usr/local/ ?
Just try : ls /usr/local/lib/libsoprano*
And : ls /usr/lib/libsoprano*

The version in /usr/lib/ is first in your path,
thus picked up first .. and the files in /usr/local/lib/ :
Are left untouched, as "non exsistant".

You are right, knudfl. But how can I remove /usr/lib path or tell the program to look at /usr/local/lib when installing?

Code:

kode@laptop:~$ ls /usr/local/lib/libsoprano*
/usr/local/lib/libsoprano.so@              /usr/local/lib/libsopranoindex.so@
/usr/local/lib/libsoprano.so.4@            /usr/local/lib/libsopranoindex.so.1@
/usr/local/lib/libsoprano.so.4.2.0*        /usr/local/lib/libsopranoindex.so.1.1.0*
/usr/local/lib/libsopranoclient.so@        /usr/local/lib/libsopranoserver.so@
/usr/local/lib/libsopranoclient.so.1@      /usr/local/lib/libsopranoserver.so.1@
/usr/local/lib/libsopranoclient.so.1.2.0*  /usr/local/lib/libsopranoserver.so.1.2.0*
kode@laptop:~$ ls /usr/lib/libsoprano*
/usr/lib/libsoprano.so@              /usr/lib/libsopranoindex.so@
/usr/lib/libsoprano.so.4@            /usr/lib/libsopranoindex.so.1@
/usr/lib/libsoprano.so.4.1.0*        /usr/lib/libsopranoindex.so.1.0.0*
/usr/lib/libsopranoclient.so@        /usr/lib/libsopranoserver.so@
/usr/lib/libsopranoclient.so.1@      /usr/lib/libsopranoserver.so.1@
/usr/lib/libsopranoclient.so.1.0.0*  /usr/lib/libsopranoserver.so.1.0.0*

First : Please tell, what is the purpose
of installing a new version of kdelibs ?

Is your attempt to upgrade all KDE4 ? Or ?

konzo · 01-29-2010, 04:10 PM

I use KDE 4.2.4 and I found bug with calendar which is widely met in the forum. First I wanted to upgrade to 4.3, but some errors occured and don't know how to clear them. In general I can't upgrade to 4.3, so I decided to install superkaramba
(http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ssuperkaramba.html) in order to use some calendar widget. But there was dependencies with kdelibs and one more program (I forgot it's name). Seems I stuck in variant two to(installing superkaramba).
