PCLOS repos

techhead89 · 09-22-2007, 10:55 AM

Hey guys, I am running PClinuxOS 2007, and was wanting to upgrade my current freeciv 2.0.8 to a 2.1 beta or a 2.0.9. All the repositories I have, have old versions on them. Does any PCLOS repo have any newer version? I know i can compile from source and stuff, but been having prob doing that. Would like it to be in repo anyways. Thanks in advance.

Get the rpm here: http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mir...005/RPMS.thac/

Was able to add repo, but ran into a small problem when marking for installation:

freeciv-client:
Depends: freeciv-data (= 2.1.0)
Depends: freeciv-server (= 2.1.0)
Depends: libreadline.so.4.3 but it is not installable

Which package management tool are you using?

From the looks of the error message, you need to also install freeciv-data and freeciv-server. The libreadline problem may be solvable by another techinque. Read more here: http://wiki.arklinux.org/Working_Workarounds. Scroll down the page to find the part about symlinking to libreadline.so.5.

Was able to get it fixed. The problem was that libreadline.so.4.3 was not in any of my repositories. I manually downloaded the rpm and installed it. After that I was able to select FreeCiv for install. It works great! Except for the fact that Beryl and FreeCiv do not work well with each other. I found out that I had to temporarily disable Beryl so there wouldn't be any lag. Thanks!
