libfreetype-devel
 

I'm trying to install Kaffeine 0.5 and running into some dependency issues.

I've downloaded and unpacked kaffeine-0.5.tar.bz2. When I run ./configure as root, it stops at this error message:

When I try to install libxorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk with rpmdrake, I receive the error message:

rpmdrake, urpmi, and the freetype web site don't have libfreetype-devel packages. What should I do now?

Thank you.

Update your urpmi sources by doing "urpmi.update -a" and try the installation again.

I have the same thing on my Mandrake 10.1 & SuSe 9.2 boxes when trying to configure K3B. I ran the update and it was successful, however, configure still fails. Any ideas?

This worked for me. Thanks!

If you are getting the same error then you need to install the xorg development packages.

It appears that I needed this (xorg) qt3 and also kdesdk, but it is now configured and I am running make. Thanks for your help on this, I didn't have my DVD this weekend as it was at the office so I am now doing this at work. Vast world Linux is ... I built a new mandrake box and this ran okay out of the box. Thanks again, and I clicked your button :)

Good your getting on fine. Why don't you make a copy of the DVD so that you have it at home and at work. Thanks for clicking the button. :)

Hi, I have read all of the above and I am still not able to install the libxorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk.i586 package

I always get:

sometimes I get 'libz' instead of 'libfreetype'

This is quite penible. :mad:

Thanks in advance for you help.


Ps: Im running Mandrake 10.1

So, have you updated your urpmi sources and tried the installation again.

yes I did "urpmi.update -a" in the console as indicaded.

Maybe you need to add some more rpm sources because it seems like the mirror you are using doesn't sync properly. Its possible to add more repositories as long as you name them differently and urpmi will look for packages in all of them.

1) Ok could you please tell me how to add some more rpm sources
and how do I change the mirror I am using?

2) you said
What are those packages? I think they are already installed but im not sure.

thanks

To add more repositories, just follow the instructions at easyurpmi . You need to adjust/change the names of the repositories, so that they are different from the default because if you have already setup urpmi, the names will clash. The xorg development packages are the xorg packages needed by some software in order to compile or work properly. On Mandrake, they are named libxorg-x11-devel.

Thanks a lot it worked after a few tries.
Thanks for your time.
