xFig Wont install on Fedora RHEL or Oracle Linux
Hi everybody!
I have this really typical difficulty that iu want to install xFig package for Imaging on my linux machine (I uased all the three Fedora, RHEL, Oracle Linux). I downloaded the xfig tar.gz file from xfig.org. But when i read the instructions i found that i have to build the make file myself. This could have been achieved by any of these methods: 1) By xmkmf Imakefile OR 2)make -f Makefile.noimake Makefile But in both the cases the make file could not be created. It returned me an error, when i use xmkmf, that cc1: error: Imakefile/config/cf: Not a directory imake: Exit code 1. Stop. and when i use "make -f Makefile.noimake Makefile" make: Makefile.noimake: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.noimake'. Stop. Now can anybody help me on how to create this make file or how can i install xfig. Regards Amp. |
Probably not impossible, but hardly worth the effort.
This is the most easy : # yum -y install xfig which will install xfig and the dependency transfig. If no yum, there are packages : http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3 > > Search > "Advanced Search" , keyword = xfig-3 ... for all Fedora's and RH EL 4, EL 5, including 'src.rpm's to create rpm with 'rpmbuild'. ..... |
Thanx for your concern, but i couldnt open the url u had send from where i could have got the xfig rpm and depencies "http://rpm.pbone.net/".
Can you please help me by sending some other link so that i can follow your instructions. Regds Amp. |
what VERSION of fedora ?????
only fedora 10,11,and 12 beta are supported. if an older and unsupported version of fedora then the " yum " updater WILL NOT WORK .Because the software repos have been MOVED to the fedora archives. ( the web address has changed) also for the error above Do you have Imake installed . It is a build system like cmake and the gnu gcc or qmake |
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3 , rpm pbone
has been down several times, the last 6 days. The Fedora archives 7-8 http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...inux/releases/ 1-6 http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...ra/linux/core/ EL 4-5 http://mirror.centos.org/centos/ ..... As said in # 2 : Probably not impossible to build xfig, the src.rpm with the ten patches is available, e.g. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/os/SRPMS/ Just not possible with the source code alone. ..... |
