Quicktime Plugin

Micro420 · 09-13-2003, 10:17 PM

Trying to get my Firebird to have Quicktime plugin availability.

When I type 'make' (as the instructions mention), I get this error:

gcc -c -g -DXP_UNIX -Iinclude -fPIC -I/usr/X11R6/include -I. -I/usr/include Source/mplayerplug-in.c
In file included from Source/mplayerplug-in.c:28:
Source/mplayerplug-in.h:24:21: X11/xpm.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [mplayerplug-in.o] Error 1

So what does this mean and how can I fix this. A person suggested I downloaded XFree-devel. I did and installed it but it did not work. Any suggestions?

My rpm says /usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h is part of XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2 (on my redhat 9 system), so that was good advice. You don't say what distro you use, but if it's RH, did you not install that rpm?

I use Mandrake 9.1. I'll look for that EXACT version. Let's hope it works!!

whoa... MAJOR problem...

I downloaded XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2.i386.rpm
I tried to install it but it says it needs XFree86-lib
So I find the XFree86-lib RPM. I try to install it and I get this HUGE HUGE HUGE list of things that need to be removed in order for it to work (I copied 1/4th of the list). Should I do this?? This seems really risky

The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded:
Guppi-0.40.3-5mdk (due to missing libgnomeprint.so.15)
ImageMagick-5.5.4.4-7mdk (due to missing ghostscript)
OpenOffice.org-1.0.2-7mdk (due to missing ghostscript)
OpenOffice.org-help-en-1.0.2-7mdk (due to unsatisfied OpenOffice.org == 1.0.2)
OpenOffice.org-l10n-en-1.0.2-7mdk (due to unsatisfied OpenOffice.org == 1.0.2)
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3-8.2mdk (due to unsatisfied XFree86 == 4.3)
XFree86-4.3-8.2mdk (due to unsatisfied XFree86 >= 3.3.6, due to unsatisfied XFree86-libs == 4.3, due to unsatisfied xinitrc >= 2.4.4-10mdk, due to missing libGL.so.1)

And the list goes on!
HELP!!!

It's likely that you start out with the wrong version that gets you into an upgrade spiral. Look at what version of XFree86-lib you have, and then get the right -devel package that matches the version. On rpmfind.net you should be able to get it.

If all else fails, you can rpm --nodeps but that's only a last resort.

That is what I did.
I have XFree86-lib version 4.3.0.2. I tried to install it but it says I need the XFree86-dev. So I got the XFree86-dev 4.3.0.2.

Then when I try to install it, it says I have to remove certain files and programs?

Now what will happen if I install the RPM with the -nodeps option? Is that bad?

HELP!!!

what I meant is not which version of XFree86-lib you downloaded, but which version did you have on your system originally?

rpm -qa | grep XF

You should find the matching devel rpm for the installed version. What kind of installation media did you have? CD's? Maybe the right version of the devel package is on there.

Installed Mandrake 9.1 on 3 CD's I downloaded.

This is what I get back when I typed in what you said:

[ken@localhost ken]$ rpm -qa | grep XF
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3-8.2mdk
XFree86-xfs-4.3-8.2mdk
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3-8.2mdk
XFree86-server-4.3-8.2mdk
XFree86-devel-4.3-8.2mdk
XFree86-4.3-8.2mdk
XFree86-libs-4.3-8.2mdk

Please advise... what should I do next?

That's odd. Do a

rpm -ql XFree86-devel-4.3-8.2mdk

and see if that header file is supposed to be there but got lost somehow. You can also find the original rpm on the cd and list that one. Or see if there are *other* XF86* rpm's on the CDs that you haven't installed, that the packaging was just different for that distro.

I'm slowly running out of more ideas if the file isn't on the CD.

I typed the command that you gave me and I got back a LOOOOOOOONG list of all these files and stuff (don't know what it means).

I tried installing XF86 stuff from the Mandrake CD, but if I choose something, it says it has to remove the current XF86 version 4.3.0.2 or whatever I said I was using. So should I do that and 'dowgrade'?

I guess I'm getting confused because everything that has been mentioned to me I already have the RPM's for it installed, or I think I do.

So am I supposed to "downgrade" to a lower version on the CD? I got those XFree files from running Mandrake update, I believe.

PROBLEM SOLVED! The people at Mozilla.org told me to get this file

libxpm4-devel

installed it and it did the trick.

Thanks anyway for the help and input of time from everyone. I'm going to go and enjoy watching movie trailers now!
