I'm new to the support list scene so take it easy on me if I mess up my list etiquette.
I am trying to install minicom on Mandrake 9.1
I found minicom-2.00.0-2mdk.x86_64.rpm on rpmfind.
I tried to install it and got the following output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Minicom]# rpm -iv minicom-2.00.0-2mdk.x86_64.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
lrzsz is needed by minicom-2.00.0-2mdk
ld-linux-x86-64.so.2()(64bit) is needed by minicom-2.00.0-2mdk
libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by minicom-2.00.0-2mdk
libgpm.so.1()(64bit) is needed by minicom-2.00.0-2mdk
libncurses.so.5()(64bit) is needed by minicom-2.00.0-2mdk
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by minicom-2.00.0-2mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Minicom]#I figured I better download the dependencies from rpmfind. I found lrzsz-0.12.21-1mdk.x86_64.rpm and tried to install it. This time I got the following output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Minicom]# rpm -iv lrzsz-0.12.21-1mdk.x86_64.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
ld-linux-x86-64.so.2()(64bit) is needed by lrzsz-0.12.21-1mdk
libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by lrzsz-0.12.21-1mdk
libnsl.so.1()(64bit) is needed by lrzsz-0.12.21-1mdk
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by lrzsz-0.12.21-1mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Minicom]#Once again, I figure that I should get the dependencies. This time I can't find ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. In fact I can't seem to find any ld-linux in rpmfind.
I had a look in /lib on my machine to see if there was a variation to this library. I found the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Minicom]# ls -al /lib/ld*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 621127 Feb 17 2003 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 20 19:31 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.3.1.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 20 19:39 /lib/ld-lsb.so.1 -> ld-linux.so.2*
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Minicom]#
I can see that the other ld stuff all seems to be linked to ld-2.3.1.so. I tried cheating by making a link as follows:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Sep 11 13:25 /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> ld-2.3.1.so*
Unfortunately, when I tried to install lrzsz I recieved the same error message that I had without the link.
Any ideas?
