rpm problem - unsatisfied libXinerama.so.1
I have several different rpms that I've downloaded (mainly filelight-0.6.4-3mdk.i586.rpm) and I can't get them to install. It says:
Some package requested cannot be installed. filelight-0.6.4-3mdk.i586.rpm (due to unsatisfied libXinerama.so.1) do you agree ? Ok Cancel I can't figure out where to get this libXinerama file. Isn't the rpm system supposed to satisfy these dependencies automatically? am I doing something wrong? thanks, -dbc |
You can get the file here.
Unfortunately, rpm can only automate the install. It assumes that you have already satisfied the dependencies beforehand. There are a few programs which will get the dependencies: apt4rpm and preinstalled in Mandrake is URPMI. Type in 'man urpmi' to find out about it. |
no luck
well that helped for one of the rpms that i wanted to install, but for some reason filelight still won't install.
[root@dogma download]# urpmi filelight Some package requested cannot be installed: filelight-0.6.4-3mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libXinerama.so.1) (Y/n) y medium "contrib" uses an invalid list file: mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying to use alternate method [root@dogma download]# urpmi XFree86-libs medium "contrib" uses an invalid list file: mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying to use alternate method Everything already installed any advice? |
update your source. I haven't had to really learn the urpmi commands and switches as gurpmi does a great job with a point-and-click (and everything else I install with tarballs anyways).
Isn't the command urpmi.update ? man urpmi will tell you |
hmmm...
Well I ended up installing Filelight from source, I gave up on the rpm and all the depencencies that it has. Compiling filelight was really easy though...
