Hi. I'm having problems installing libquicktime on Fedora Core 4. I haven't found any appropriate rpms for FC4 and was using the FC3 rpms.

I've installed libraw1394 through yum and FC4 repositories. However, yum lists not one but two identically named rpms for libraw1394. Here's the output of a rpm -qa showing that both are installed.

# rpm -qa | grep libraw1394
libraw1394-1.2.0-1.fc4
libraw1394-debuginfo-1.2.0-1.fc4
libraw1394-1.2.0-1.fc4
libraw1394-devel-1.2.0-1.fc4
[root@localhost Desktop]#

I'm running a XP3800+ X2 processor. If I go to /usr/lib64 I find:

# ls -l libraw1394*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33578 Jul 23 04:17 libraw1394.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 809 Jul 23 04:17 libraw1394.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Nov 29 15:41 libraw1394.so -> libraw1394.so.8.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Nov 29 15:59 libraw1394.so.5 -> libraw1394.so.8.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Nov 29 15:41 libraw1394.so.8 -> libraw1394.so.8.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21712 Jul 23 04:17 libraw1394.so.8.1.0
[root@localhost lib64]#

The libraw1394.so.5 symbolic link is one that i added by hand.

It looks like libraw1394 is well an truly installed on my machine. I have executed /sbin/ldconfig to make sure the library has been noted, and have the kernel module for raw1394 installed and loaded.

[root@localhost Desktop]# /sbin/lsmod | grep raw1394
raw1394 34529 0
ieee1394 378713 2 raw1394,ohci1394
[root@localhost Desktop]#


In case that was anything to do with the problem. But still when I try to install libquicktime I get the following error:

# !rpm
rpm -Uvh libquick*.rpm
warning: libquicktime-0.9.7-1.1.fc3.rf.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6
error: Failed dependencies:
libraw1394.so.5()(64bit) is needed by libquicktime-0.9.7-1.1.fc3.rf.x86_64
[root@localhost Desktop]#

Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Hi. You have more repositories in your list than I do. If I try to yum install libquicktime, I don't find it.

Would it be too much to ask if you could post the contents of your /etc/yum.repos.d as a single text file could you?

Cheers,

Actually, cancel that. I started putting in the repos one by one, and freshrpms appears to be the one I needed. I was intending to install kino on my machine at work. I've just discovered that my additional repositories allowed me to "yum install kino" as well. This is on my i386 machine at home. Hopefully things will be just as easy on my AMD64-X2 machine at work.
