Suse 9.2 & Amule :(

Alessandro · 01-02-2005, 09:05 PM

Ok, here is a very basic apt how to.

Install apt-libs and apt from here:

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...MS.suser-rbos/

Now go to /etc/apt and edit your sources list like this:

# Repository created by: aptate (version 0.69.0)
# At: Wed Dec 22 14:19:08 MET 2004
# More info about aptate at: http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net

rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.2-i386 update security kde misc xorg mozilla samba3 ximian suser-rbos suser-oc2pus suser-guru suser-gbv suser-tcousin suser-scorot suser-ollakka funktronics packman packman-i686 wine suse-people kde3-stable suse-projects suser-sbarnin
# rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.2-i386 update security kde3-stable

Comment out the first line (by adding a "#") and uncomment the second line (by removing "#") in case you want just to upgrade KDE

*Strong recommendation*: do not perform a dist-upgrade with all the components listed in the first line.

Now go to:
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf

and edit "GPG::Check true" with "GPG::Check no"

Now you are almost there:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install synaptic

Now you have a nice GUI interface to apt.

Please notice that everything will work better once the component "base" is released, in a couple of weeks. The components "base" contains the whole SuSE 9.2 distribution.

Good luck!

amule on 9.2 pro and is working like a sharm

deepdark · 01-03-2005, 08:33 AM

i made this steps:

Installing using RPMs

Step 1: wxGTK

download wxGTK and wxGTK-devel ->
wxGTK-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm

install wxGTK ->
as root:
rpm -Uvh wxGTK-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm
ldconfig

Step 2: wxBase

download wxBase ->
wxBase-2.4.2-1.i586.rpm

install wxBase ->
as root:
rpm -Uvh wxBase-2.4.2-1.i586.rpm
ln -sf /usr/bin/wxgtk-2.4-config /usr/bin/wx-config
ln -sf /usr/bin/wxbase-2.4-config /usr/bin/wxbase-config
ldconfig

Step 3. Crypto++

Note: Only needed from version 2.0.0-rc1 to 2.0.0-rc5 (included)

download libcrypto++ ->
RedHat & SuSE: libcryptopp-5.2.1-1.i586-RH-SuSE.rpm and libcryptopp-devel-5.2.1-1.i586-RH-SuSE.rpm
FC: libcryptopp-5.2.1-1.i586-FC.rpm and libcryptopp-devel-5.2.1-1.i586-FC.rpm
MDK: libcryptopp5-5.1-2mdk.i586.rpm and libcryptopp5-devel-5.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
as root:
rpm -Uvh the-above-downloaded-package.rpm

Step 4: aMule

download latest aMule version ->
latest aMule

install aMule ->
as root:
rpm -Uvh aMule-X.X.X-1.iX86-X.rpm (replace X with the right version number..)

run aMule as user from your console by typing -> amule

Alessandro

Thanks a lot for the instrustion. However, I did not manage to install synaptic, got the following:

Code:

linux:~ # apt-get install synaptic
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  synaptic: Depends: scrollkeeper but it is not installable
            Depends: xsu but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

foxy123 · 01-03-2005, 09:24 AM

The same about amule:

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  amule: Depends: wxGTK-compat (>= 2.4.2) but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_base-2.5.so.2 but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_base-2.5.so.2(WX_2.5) but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_base_net-2.5.so.2 but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_base_net-2.5.so.2(WX_2.5) but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_base_odbc-2.5.so.2 but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_base_xml-2.5.so.2 but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_gtk2_adv-2.5.so.2 but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_gtk2_core-2.5.so.2 but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_gtk2_core-2.5.so.2(WX_2.5) but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_gtk2_dbgrid-2.5.so.2 but it is not installable
         Depends: libwx_gtk2_html-2.5.so.2 but it is not installable

What does it mean 'is not installable'?

foxy123 · 01-03-2005, 09:48 AM

i did manage synaptic, after installling scrollkeeper and xsu via YaST.

foxy123 · 01-03-2005, 10:23 AM

ok, I did it! Installed wxGTK-compat thru YaST and amule via synaptic.... It works ok so far. Does anyone know if it is possible to pick up unfinished files from KMldonkey?

As you have already discovered, it means "not available"
This is because the component "base" has not been released yet.
But you can find everything in your DVD.

Hi, it's me again.

I've made a clean install on my system and tried to install amule again, using the rpm Alessandro gave me.

It works without any problems. :-)

Guess I fucked something up when I tried to build aMule myself.

Thanx

foxy123 · 01-06-2005, 05:06 AM

Alessandro is the man! Thanks a lot, mate.

Alessandro · 01-06-2005, 10:34 AM

Thanks. You are more than welcome
