Packages in FC2
Hi.
I'm trying to install bluefish .13 on my computer. It says it needs gtk+-2.2 for it. I went to their website, and it says it needs glib, and couple other packages. Before I go and install all of that. Does FC2 has those packages on the CD? I used to use Mandrake and it came with nifgy program that you could use to see which packages you have installed, and which ones are available. I seriously doubt something like this exists in FC2. Is there at least a command line program that does it? Thx. |
u can go to add/remove programs and install the gnome compile/ develop tools it will have gtk+ and all the libraries
|
Ah, I looked under gnome devel. package and found some references to GTK and glib. It didn't say what version it is.
|
do
rpm -qa|grep gtk u will find the version of gtk installed from the packege name FC 2 has gtk2-2.4.0-1 installed regards |
its better to use a package manager like apt to let it automatically resolve the dependancies
e.g. in apt all u have to do is type : apt-get install bluefish it will then check its dependacies and install any one u dont have like glib , gtk and there is a gui program for it called synaptic |
hi
before installing packages from the internet it is always better to check if u have that packages in ur distributiuon CDs regards |
Thats what I'm trying to do.
Tried installing synaptic it said it needed xmlto, tried installing that and it couldn't install it. |
hi
what went wrong???? post ur eror msgs here regards |
Synaptic-0.53
checking for xmlto... no configure: error: You need xmlto to build the documentation. Apt-get it or download it from http://cyberelk.net/tim/xmlto xmlto-0.0.18 when I run make: I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/relea...es/docbook.xsl warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl" compilation error: file /tmp/xmlto-xsl.R13869 line 4 element import xsl:import : unable to load http://docbook.sourceforge.net/relea...es/docbook.xsl I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/relea...es/docbook.xsl warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl" compilation error: file /tmp/xmlto-xsl.F13896 line 4 element import xsl:import : unable to load http://docbook.sourceforge.net/relea...es/docbook.xsl Q: I'm trying to build xmlto on my Debian box, but it doesn't work. A: If you get `Attempt to load network entity' errors when building xmlto, your system does not have the required support for XML Catalogs (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees...001-08-06.html). In particular, Debian has no support for these. Try the Fedora Project <http://fedora.redhat.com>. make[1]: *** [man/man1/xmlto.1] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/umneydurak/xmlto-0.0.18' make: *** [all] Error 2 Looked in to fedora website, but I'm not sure what I'm suppose to be looking for. |
hi there
xmlto is in the fedora CD, i have it installed by fealult see the output [root@gaurav root]# rpm -qa|grep xmlto xmlto-0.0.18-2 [root@gaurav root]# check out ur CDS or go to system settings---->ads remove appliactions---authoring and publishing and there check the xmlto package regards |
Ok. Now I'm getting this error message when installing syaptic
"checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0, libglade-2.0 >= 2.0.0, pango >= 1.0.0, glib-2.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found" When I try to install gtk+-2.2.4 I get this: "checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.1.4 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.0.1... Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'glib-2.0' found" But I have glib installed. I installed glib-2.2.3 did ./configure, make, make install with no problems. What gives? |
hi
why don't u install rpms from ur CD of the distribution(glib is there in fedora 2) they install the files in the standard location now u will have to see where is gtk installed,most probably in /usr/local/lib so add the /usr/local/lib to the file /etc/ld.so.conf run ldconfig or install packages from the distro's CD regards gaurav |
Sorry I forgot to mention. When I tried to install Gnome dev. packages it said it couldn't do it because xorg-x11-libs are not installed. Even thought those libs are installed.
|
hi
the best option for u is to go to add remove appp. and install packages from there that will take care of dependencies in ur packages regards gaurav |
Yeah, thats what I tried to do. Thats when that error message is pops up.
Anyway I think I hosed the installation. I added /usr/loclal/lib to the ld.so.conf file then run ./ldconfig in /sbin. Now it hangs during boot. It boots fine till it hits login screen, but it doesn't get thee. It stops at black screen with an x cursor. EDIT: Never mind booting with resuce disk removing /usr/local/bin and running ldconfig fixed it. Anyway let me elaborate. I tried installing GNOME Software Development packages which contain the gtk+, I think, using the Add/Remove Applications program. And it gives me an error message Packages not Found: xorg-x11-libs. I did rpm -qa|grep xorg-x11-libs, and I do have those packages insalled, so I don't know that a heck it's talking about. Also I did try yum install and it said the same thing that xorg-x11-libs is installed. |
hi
when u used add remove applications there it might have given u package deendencies(i.e a particular package is not insatalled) so must look out for xorg-x11-libs either by add remove applications or manually from the CD regards gaurav |
Ha? I already have xorg-X11-libs installed. I tried with atp-get install xorg-x11-libs and it said I have it installed. I tried with yum install xorg-x11-libs, and it said I have it installed.
I'm not really following you. Are you saying that even thought it says xorg-x11-libs is missing, in really some dependency package is missing? |
hi
what i am saying is that when u install using ad remove packae installtion ,then that muight have stopped ,since u told that it reports that Xorg-x11-libs is not installed(this is called package dependency) so u need to solve this dependency,which u tried and u got the message that it is already installed so what does this give u #rpm -qa|grep xorg or # rpm -ga|grep Xorg regards gaurav |
rpm -qa|grep Xorg gives nothing.
but rpm -qa|grep xorg lists this xorg-x11-libs-data-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-xauth-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-tools-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-base-fonts-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-xfs-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-twm-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-font-utils-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts-6.7.0-5 xorg-x11-xdm-6.7.0-5 |
hety
just checkout out tje packaes on fedora 2 CD there having a different verison no. u have xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-5 installed but the one in he CD is xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-2 but that should not make a difference, i think so can't u get a rpm of the package u r wanting to install,instead of compiling it???? regards |
Got Synaptic installed using yum.
Reinstalled the xorg-x11-libs with it and it solved the problem. Thx. |
