Hello,

I'm a recent convert to Slack and am starting to get the hang of installing packages with swaret and checkinstall. But I'm running into issues getting giFT to install due to a package dependancy for libmagic (this is the only package that ./configure did not find).

I located the source for 4.07 of libmagic and libmagic-dev and installed them using checkinstall but am still getting this error when attempting to checkinstall gift:

Code:

Any ideas?

well it can't find the api header.... this is for ImageMagick i take it? that would appear to be where the api.h is from, hence the errors. if you think you have all the files installed, run "updatedb" and then "locate api.h" to see if you really do have that file

Will do, thanks acid_kewpie. :)

btw, I've never expected the install for Slack to go so smoothly and for it to run seemingly faster than other distros. After trying over a dozen distros for my main box I hope I've finally found a good medium between package management and usability.

I believe I do in fact have ImageMagick but I'm still getting the error:

Code:

giFT 0.11.5



-------------------- core ---



giftd...................: yes

libgift.................: yes

libgiftproto............: yes

use ltdl................: yes



--------- meta data tools ---



use libvorbis...........: yes

use ImageMagick.........: yes

use libmagic............: no



-----------------------------

Any other thoughts?

When I installed giFT (on Slack 9.0) I had the same problem. I tried everything I could think of to get giFT to see libmagic but no luck, so eventually I just used './configure --disable-libmagic' and it compiled with no problems. I think that libmagic is only used to give additional info about whatever jpeg's, etc. that you are trading, so it's not really necessary.

Enjoy!
