Hey Ry12

Thanks for you help.

When I try to install Amule.org using Yast2....the application tell me to input Suse 9.2 CD ver 4 (That works) but.... than I ask me install Suse 8.1 CD ver 1.... I do not have Suse 8.1 CD ver 1.... I have all the CD for Suse 9.2 (5 CD's).... How do I get around this message?

thanks I do not have Suse 8.1 CD ver 1

try installing from the console
rpm -Uvh <filename>

Hey Rye

after I ran the rpm -Uvh ed2k-gtk-gui-0.6.3-2
and I got this error message on the Konsole.

rror: Failed dependencies:
libexpat.so.1 is needed by ed2k-gtk-gui-0.6.3-2
RESULT=1

dont know why u would need that but u can get it here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/

thanks Rye for all your Help

I got the file Expat from Sourceforge.net web site.
The Expat file unzip or extract itself into my file:/home/usr/expat-1.95.8.tar.gr directory.

I'm a Linux Newbie - There is no install excutable on linux.
How do I go about installing expat?...step by step with detail.

thanks

i don't even know what expat is. but with most programs that are source code just type
tar xvzf <filename> to extract the files or
tar xvjf if its a bz2 file
./configure
make
make install

u could try installing the amule rpms like this, so u won't have anymore dependency problems
rpm -Uvh --nodeps

thanks Rye

I'm using fedora core 3. I have the same problem. Expat is already the latest version. I cannot use apt-get or yum to install. Apt-get gives an error saying it cannot solve the libexpat problem. rpm --nodeps does install no problem, *BUT* apt-get then has a problem with it being installed and sort of forces a removal. donkeyclc is there but it won't let ed2k exist. Reason stems back to libexpat. Quite irritating, I wish it could be solved.

I too had the same exact error message with Suse 9.2. When I looked at the expat rpm package contents on the SUSE 9.2 DVD it has libexpat.so.0.5.0 listed instead of libexpat.so.1.??? I was trying to use version expat that is on the DVD (A64) so that I can compile the edonkey gui. I was wondering if it is a problem with the 64 bit version. I am not sure what version that has what ed2k-gtk-gui-0.6.3-2 is looking for. Is there a way to test out expat to see if it runs? Or any ideas how to fix this would be helpful.

Thanks,

Muon

For anyone that may be interested, I got around this problem by using rpm -i --nodeps ed2k-gtk-gui-0.6.3-2.rpm

this is sort of a temporary solution, because once I run apt-get update it gets rid of it/forces removal.

What then is the best way to get rid of the libexpat.so.1 dependency issues with Susu 9.2? There seem to be so may choices for this file that I am confused.
