I would dearly like to have WIRED installed on my system ... however i get the following feedback from Synaptic when attempting to install .... and yes i have reloaded and upgraded .. *smile* ... and the only time i seem to run into installation problems using Synaptic is when trying to install a piece of software that depends upon Jackit ...

Well in this case i searched for Jackit ... sure enough it was not loaded ... so tried to install .. it complained needed libjack0 version 109 etc ... and found i had to FORCE downgrade of this lib to satisfy installation of jackit ... so did that and then could install jackit

However, now it says "Depends: portaudio (>=20.0) but it is not installable", let alone the other 'Depends' in the list .... i search for 'portaudio' and no such listing in synaptic indexes [oh there is libportaudio-dev etc, but installing does not help] ... and so i have no idea where to go to from here.


So ... my question is is there anybody out there who either has had similar probs installing WIRED - any suggestions to help at all would be most appreciated. And finally ... its this damn JackIT thing .. it always gets in the way of a successful installation on my system?!?!?!

Any ideas .. i dont want to be a Linux Nerd .. just a Linux user *smile*

Thnx

OK, so in the meantime i went to the http://wired.sourceforge.net/ site and downloaded the tar.gz file for version 0.6 ... the latest. I followed the instructions in INSTALL and everything behaved without complaint until right at the end of the MAKE procedure ... where it spits out this complaint ...

Both the ./autogen.sh and ./configure steps worked without error

Has anybody got any ideas??? ... it seems it was just a breath away from completing the MAKE successfully

Thanks Rfah

This is the important part when installing it through the package manager. The repository(s) you're using doesn't have a version of portaudio Wired requires (20.0 or above). You'll need to find an appropriate version of this package for your system and install it first.

I have no idea, why the dependancy mechanism in PCLOS 2008
behaves like this, the packages are identic with those in
PCLOS 2007, which causes no errors. "wired" can be installed
in 2008 ... and after the install there are no deps :

Have a look at the output of 'ldd/usr/bin/wired
libWiredWidgets.so => /usr/lib/libWiredWidgets.so (0xb7efa000)
libWiredAkai.so => /usr/lib/libWiredAkai.so (0xb7ef7000)
libportaudio.so.2 => /usr/lib/libportaudio.so.2 (0xb7b64000)
> > no missing dependencies here !
(You will just have to accept the error "1 broken package"
if you start Synaptics, but that is part of the bug.)

And how to install .... first all real dependencies :
# 'apt-get install flac dssi jackit ladspa soundtouch \
wxGTK2.6 libwxgtk2.6'

And the 2 packages which causes errors
# 'rpm -Uvh --nodeps libwired0-0.5-0.070423.2pclos2007.i586.rpm'
from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...s2007.i586.rpm

# 'rpm -Uvh --nodeps wired-0.5-0.070423.2pclos2007.i586.rpm'
from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html

.....

# 4 : "Synaptic" (and may be 'apt-get') will uninstall
the 2 packages "wired" when installing new packages.

# 2 : I have compiled wired-0.6 on PCLOS 2007 and 2008
with no errors and no warnings, using 'libwxgtku2.6-devel'

Your errors might be from libwxgtk 2.8 ?? or if you
have build wxGTK yourself ??
