I am using Mandrake 9.2 (but haven't urpmi kernel yet, I
don't know which one to use).
I did urpmi autoconf2.5 and now autoconf behaves as
expected. Thanks.
I did urpmi automake1.7 but:
# ls -l /usr/bin/automake
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Nov 1 21:52
/usr/bin/automake -> /etc/alternatives/automake
and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alternatives]# ls -l automake
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 1 21:42
automake -> /usr/bin/automake-1.4*
There doesn't seeem to be any pl wrapper on this one, so I
changed the symlink so that:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alternatives]# ls -l automake
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 1 22:00
automake -> /usr/bin/automake-1.7*
Any reason why I shouldn't have done so?
I consider all this to be based on a bug from urpmq. The
naming scheme for this two programs leads to confusion. I
keep upgrading my system but both automake and autoconf
never got upgraded because of that.
Moreover, without your help, I'd never found out about the
different versions: when I type the full name, I never
learn that there are alternatives:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alternatives]# urpmq autoconf
autoconf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alternatives]# urpmq autocon
The following packages contain autocon:
autoconf
autoconf2.5
zh-autoconvert
zh-autoconvert-devel
zh-autoconvert-xchat
same for any other program.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alternatives]# urpmq vegastrike
vegastrike
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alternatives]# urpmq vegastrik
The following packages contain vegastrik:
vegastrike
vegastrike-data
vegastrike-data-music
Anyway, tell me if I have made a mistake or if I am saying
something wrong. This particular problem however seems
solved. Thanks.
I still have to figure out if I can install kdevelop.
