I'm excited to try the new 2.0.1 version of Guile. I'm running Slackware64 13.37 and the latest version of Guile distributed with it is 1.8.8. I see that this new version, as part of it's new capabilities, has a few new requirements. I have built and installed libffi, libunistring and libgc according to their install instructions, but Guile's configure script can't find them.
I have tried manually creating libffi.pc libunistring.pc and libgc.pc files, which has allowed configure to get past the first two, but I still can't determine the correct name for libgc. Further, I am now not confident that Guile will find these where it expects to find them in the end. I would like to ask for some clarification of the install process for this new version of Guile, but I'm not sure whom to ask.
The download page (http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php...?content=90610) says that PDF-Shuffler depends on GTK 2.x Searching for 'GTK' in sbopkg gives me a big list. Does anyone know exactly which package I need to install
trying to install gnucash 2.2.9 from SlackBuilds. I have the current versions of slib and guile installed (slib from slackbuilds and guile from slackware). when installing slib I get the following:
Executing install script for slib-3b2-i486-2_SBo.tgz. ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path: ERROR: Unable to find file "slib/guile.init" in load path Package slib-3b2-i486-2_SBo.tgz installed.
Slib is installed. Try to run gnucash and I get the following: gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at configure time.
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path: ERROR: Unable to find file "slib/guile.init" in load path guile.init is in usr/lib/slib as it should be. I'm lost - where should I look next?
I have 2 Slackware installs at home, both tracking -current. When 13.37 is officially released I'm considering changing one of those to remain as "stable" for general family consumption. My question is...when the next release comes, how painless and/or successful is the upgrade process. Yes I know of the detailed upgrade instructions by Pat V, and I know I'd have no difficulty executing them.
I get following error during automatic patch upgrade of my SuSE 11.2 to latest path revision. I assume it is due to the KDE 4.3.5 Update part of the patch set: compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.14.x86_64 requires libkdecorations.so.4()(64 bit) but there are no providers. The package manager suggest to replace compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.14.x86_64 with kwin-4.3.5-0.2.1.x86_64 but I don't want to loose compiz-kde. which repository I must add to resolve the dependency.
I have just installed the centos 5.3 on my server machine. It looks for a USB media to boot. But I am not able to figure it out what i have done wrong. Why does it asks for USB media?If I have created a dependency of USB to boot, Is there any way i can remove this dependency. Or I have to reinstall the OS again?
Does slackware 13 have any dependencies on a modular kernel? I am going to make the kernel without modules and wanted to know if this will not work or if it will be painful and still work.
I am a Linux noob (running Ubuntu 9.10) and not even an advanced Win. user. However, my switch to Linux was for simplicity, stability, fewer crashes,and the open-source software philosophy. However, Ubuntu hasn't been what I am hoping for. While Scientific Linux and Vector seem like good second choices, they don't seem to have the community/enthusiasm that Slackware has. However everything I read is all about "dependency management" w/r/t Slackware. Is this really a big problem? As a newbie, how will I deal with it? I am willing to learn but realize that I am starting from scratch.
I have just upgraded from F9 to F11. There are a lot of problems I appear to be having with dependencies.

Moderator: If this post doesnt belong here, please move it to where it belongs. I like the KDE environment but there are so many menu items that I am not interested in or do not use. For example, I use LibreOffice, not Koffice; I use only Firefox & Chrome; I dont use a PIM.There seems to be a lot of duplication to satisfy different preferences.Further, there are a bunch of environments (flukebox etc) that I am not interested in. I thought that if I removed all the stuff that is of no interest to me, that I could have a personalized, uncluttered Slackware 13.37 system that would occupy less disk space and take less time to back up.
I know that you can remove menu items without removing the underlying programs but, if I can get rid of the programs without trashing my system, that is what I would like to do. (I am assuming that I can reinstall some or all later.)
If I were a Slackware guru, I would probably install some sort of Slackware Minimal but then I would probably drive you all crazy with endless posts to this forum.So, the question is: If I use pkgtool to remove the stuff that I do not want, will I end up in Dependency issue Hell
I recently upgraded to Fedora 14 from F13 using Yum, it worked to my amazement except now yum appears to be broken because of a massive amount of dependency issues. It appears the old F13 packages are still around and yum is unable to get ride of them because their dependency with F14 packages of the same name. I tried yum distro-sync, and I tried yum resolvedep $(package-cleanup --orphans) --skip-broken but to no avail. Package--cleanup--orphans identifies all of the left over F13 packages.
I also can't install or upgrade anything using Yum, does give me a reason except the massive amount of dependency issues with the left over F13 packages. When I use the graphical software update it tells me among other things that Yum and RPM have updates but of course it won't update. I did follow the instructions and used yum update yum before I upgraded to F14, maybe it didn't take? Anyway to resolve this issue other than a clean install?
I have an Intel Core2 Duo system that I upgraded from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 (32-bit). When I try to install updates from YUM I get the following error output:
I'm trying the DVD authoring stuff on Slackware, so okay I have downloaded Tovid along with its dozens of dependencies that has their own dependencies and so on...Now, one of the dependency is x264 (for encoding H264/AVC video streams). I already have alien bob's VLC from the uk site (restricted packages) and I've read on his blog (if I'm not mistaken) that it has the H264 capability (don't know how to describe it ).Is there any chance that it will conflict with this x264 library?
I am trying to build more packages these days than in years before, it seems, but somehow I manage to run into trouble quite often. This time I want to install Truecrypt 6.3a on my system. According to the description there are two dependencies, one of them being wxGTK.Ok, downloaded wxGTK and tried to build it both with sbopkg and on the CLI just by executing the SBo script. But:
Code: checking for Xinerama... yes checking for Xxf86vm extension... yes
I installed a PPA repository ppa:danilo/evolution, and try to upgrade evolution from there. However, there was a dependency fail, and it did nothing. Thus, I remove the repository. Nonetheless, today I find out that my installed version of evolution is gone! and when I try to install it again, it says that danilo's repository has a dependency fail... and it does nothing.
i'm having trouble installing the jre in firefox3.6. I'm using slackware 12.1 which comes with the default firefox 2. Downloaded 3.6 into my systems this is where i install:
Code:
root@linux:/usr/lib/firefox3.6
I download the jre 6 from the java website and this is where i install:
Code:
chongming@linux:/usr/local/jre1.6.0_21
I create a symbolic link into the firefox3.6 plugin folder using this command:
Restart the firefox and type aboutlugins, the java plugin does not exists. I went to the java website and test to see if jre is install in firefox, but could not detect. This is the permission for the firefox 3.6 dir in the /usr/lib path:
I have a brand new Slackware 13.1 x64 installation, and I'm having problems with slapt-get.
I'm unable to upgrade existing packages or install new ones. The output in terminal is:
Code: bash-4.1# slapt-get -i tar Reading Package Lists... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: tar
[Code]....
Worth mentioning also, I managed to install Gnome from [URL] without any problems immediately prior to this error message starting to appear.
I've been using Debian and Ubuntu derivatives for the last couple of years, so I'm comfortable using the terminal and possibly doing some more advanced stuff.
Trying to do the upgrade through "Software Updates", however because there are no current updates, I cannot click on the "Upgrade" button to begin the upgrade process to FC14.
Is there any other way to do this besides downloading the DVD and installing?
how to update my system online (for example my firefox 3.0 to 3.5) but i can't figure out how this possibly works. I tried the "online update" using Yast2 but apparently (according to Yast) there is nothing at all to be patched on my system. I tried to click on the Firefox-3.5.5 rpm in the repository web-interface and open it using "install software" but the process aborts because of unresolved dependencies. Is there an easy way to update software without having to download/install every dependency manually?
After running 9.04 for a year, I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and then to 10.04 using Update Manager. My Dell computer crashed several times during the upgrade to 10.04. I restarted each time from a recovery version of 10.04, and eventually the upgrade was completed. As far as I can tell after a few days, everything I normally use seems to be working. However, when I add a package with Synaptic I get the error message below. Is the message significant? Do I need to address each error?
I want to install the subversion. I want to install the depandancy files like gcc, gcc-++ etc. But when I try to use Yum, I get errors. When I tried yum install I got the following erro xulrunner-1.9.2.17-3.el5.x86_64 from updates has depsolving problems
--> xulrunner conflicts with firefox dbus-libs-1.1.2-14.el5.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: dbus = 1.1.2-14.el5 is needed by package dbus-libs-1.1.2-14.el5.i386 (installed)
I recently upgraded to slackware-current from Slackware 13 via slackroll, and have only encountered one problem. My file manager no longer thumbnails images, and icons (mostly PNG) aren't appearing no matter what GTK theme is set. Running from the command line produces no errors, and when brought up in something else (say feh /path/to/icon.png) it works perfectly. This is the only hitch I have encountered so far. The same thing happens with emoticons in Pidgin. Does anyone know of a fix?
