version 1.3.100 on SuSE?

2000-06-14 Thread Hendrik Boom

I'm starting to install version 1.3.100 on SuSE Linux.

First, I notice I don't have g-wrap.  Unless I am mistaken, this package
does not appear in either the SuSE 6.3 or 6.4 distribution.
I download g-wrap-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm from the gnucash web site.

I rpm -i --test g-wrap-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm, and am told:

error: failed dependencies:
guile-devel is needed by g-wrap-0.9.1-1
libguile.so.4 is needed by g-wrap-0.9.1-1
libreadline.so.3 is needed by g-wrap-0.9.1-1   
 

I look for them:
guile-devel
I did not find guile-devel in SuSE.
I did find a package called guile,
which does contain a lot of .h files.
Are these the files I need?
libguile.so.4
Package guile contains a libraries
usr/lib/libguile.so
usr/lib/libguile.so.6
usr/lib/libguile.so.6.0.0
Is this a problem?
libreadline.so.3
I appear to have a library
/usr/lib/libreadline.a
This will probably not do.

Any suggestions?

I could try to compile g-wrap myself, but its documentation
does not make it clear that I can control where it places all its files.
(nor is it clear I can uninstall cleanly -- anybodu know?)
I do *not* want components I compile myself getting mixed up with
the ones installed by RPMs.  It's too hard to track them down during
reinstallation or upgrade.

version 1.3.100 on SuSE? (fwd)

2000-06-14 Thread Hendrik Boom


 I'm starting to install version 1.3.100 on SuSE Linux.
 
 First, I notice I don't have g-wrap.  Unless I am mistaken, this package
 does not appear in either the SuSE 6.3 or 6.4 distribution.
 I download g-wrap-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm from the gnucash web site.
 
 I rpm -i --test g-wrap-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm, and am told:
 
 error: failed dependencies:
 guile-devel is needed by g-wrap-0.9.1-1
 libguile.so.4 is needed by g-wrap-0.9.1-1
 libreadline.so.3 is needed by g-wrap-0.9.1-1   
  
 
 I look for them:
...
 libreadline.so.3
   I appear to have a library
   /usr/lib/libreadline.a
   This will probably not do.

I just found
 usr/lib/libguilereadline.a
 usr/lib/libguilereadline.la
 usr/lib/libguilereadline.so
 usr/lib/libguilereadline.so.0
 usr/lib/libguilereadline.so.0.0.0

Any chance that these will do?

By the way, the README.SuSE file seems to have disappeared.
Is there some reason for this?

Yes, it's NOT in SuSE 6.3 or 6.4.

 I download g-wrap-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm from the gnucash web site.
 
 I rpm -i --test g-wrap-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm, and am told:

This is the guile I use, and it works.

 libguile.so.4
 Package guile contains a libraries
 usr/lib/libguile.so
 usr/lib/libguile.so.6
 usr/lib/libguile.so.6.0.0
 Is this a problem?

The gnucash rpm and the g-wrap rpm have a dependency to 
libguile.so.4 because this one comes with Red Hat. You can
install with rpm --no-deps and make a ln -s libguile.so.6 libguile.so.4,
but I recommend compiling from source.

 libreadline.so.3
 I appear to have a library
 /usr/lib/libreadline.a
 This will probably not do.

It goes to /usr/local by default, but the ./configure should
follow --prefix.

README.SuSE has been moved to doc/SuSE.txt
