Re: [expert] dependency problem...
I had glib and all the other needed packages installed, but not the (dev) libraries.I installed the libs this morning, and everything works perfect right now. Well, learning linux is trial and error, not ? :-) I'm familiar with it since a long time, but never used it intensively until now, so I still have a lot to learn. Anyway, thx for your help!

[expert] dependency problem...
Hi there, I'm running Mandrake 9.1, with (I think) Gnome-2.2 As far as I know, Gnome-2.2 needs glib-2.2, or at least a very new version. So I suppose a fairly recent version of glib is installed on my computer. When I try to install gaim (or some other programs) I get an error that my glib-version has to be =1.3. I tried to install glib-2.2.0 myself, but it doesn't help. I tried to install other apps, but most of them don't want to configure because they can't find the right dependencies, which, by the way, has to be there! I tried putting the paths /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf, I tried to update some env.-variables (GTK...) but nothing works. I tried configuring programs with --nodeps, and yes, it compiles. But I can't run it... Does anyone has an idea how I can fix thix, so that every new installation can find the right dependencies in the future ? I use Linux since several years, but started using it as desktop system right now, so consider me a newbie :-) Thx in advance Steven

On Sat, 19 Aug 2000, Austin L. Denyer (SysAdmin.) as root pushed some tiny letters in this order: I tried installing the latest initscripts just now, and got five more dependency problems. Several of these I have no idea what rpms I need to install to get the files. Eeek! Is there an up-to-date list available that lists all files and their corresponding rpms? I take it that there are no programs that could automate these installs (i.e, query the rpm, find any dependency issues, and automagically download the required additional rpms and install them, etc.)... File mappings to rpms would only be valid for each distribution because it's up to the distribution to package things in such a way that everything works. In this case mixing what seem to be redhat rpms (.i386.rpm) with mandrake rpms, esp. for system files, would confuse any automagic rpm downloader software even more. Is there an absolute need for modutils-2.3.14-1 to use your zip drive? Rather than chasing down a zillion rpms which will more than likely give you even more dependancy problems, if you can i'd suggest falling back to mandrake's modutils-2.3.10-2mdk.i586.rpm found in the same upgrades directory as per before.

Tony Thanks for your prompt response Tony! OK, the zip drive is a USB one. The driver file (downnloaded from Iomega) requires at least 2.4.test4, and will not install unless it detects at least this release level. As the latest 2.4.x beta (not even I am crazy enough to try an alpha release with my current level of knowledge!) is 2.4.test6, I used that. The /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes file states the following: quote Current Minimal Requirements Upgrade to at *least* these software revisions before thinking you've encountered a bug! snip note of how to check revision numbers GNU C 2.7.2.3 binutils2.9.1.0.22 util-linux 2.10g modutils2.3.13 e2fsprogs 1.18 pcmcia-cs 3.1.13 PPP 2.4.0b1 isdn4k-utils3.1beta7 /quote Now, I don't use ISDN, and some of my modules are already there. The only ones I need to update (according to this) are util-linux, modutils, pcmcia-cs and PPP. Any further suggestions VERY gratefully received! Regards, Ozz.

Are you trying to install or upgrade? Sounds like an earlier version of modutils maybe installed already, do a rpm -Uvh modutils-VER.rpm. - Original Message - From: "Austin L.

Re: [expert] Dependency Problem
I'm upgrading from 2.1.121-16mdk to 2.3.14-1. The 2.1.121 version came with Mandrake 7.0, and I need to upgrade in order to run an updated kernel (2.4.test6) for USB support of my zip drive. The output of rpm -Uvh modutils-2.3.14-1.i386.rpm is error: failed dependencies: /sbin/is_depmod_necessary is needed by initscripts-4.72-13mdk However, my older version (2.1.121-16mdk) is installed correctly... What am I doing wrong - should I uninstall the old one first? Regards, Ozz. Cecil Watson wrote: Are you trying to install or upgrade?
