Re: How to install Xepphyr deb file on Redhat which uses rpms?
To heck with yum and xephyr. I have WinaXe on my Windows machine and I am successfully using it with maemo/scratchbox. I just set the DISPLAY variable in scratchbox to point to WinaXe, 192.168.2.4:0.0 I'll get back to yum and xephyr some day. *Thanks* to everyone who contributed to getting me as far as I am next step deploy an app on the N800...

Re: How to install Xepphyr deb file on Redhat which uses rpms?
I now have yum working (Installed version 2.0.8.) BUT. Unfortunately the command suggested in the post below does not work (even with the typo corrected). I suspect the reason is that there is no rpm for xephyr (only deb) except for the one I created with alien. (Another reason could be that list of repositories in the yum.conf is out of date) I have added a stanza to yum.conf that points to a directory on my machine where I have placed a (dummy) header.info file. yum finds the header.info file, but of course complains about its format. So I now have to know the format to put in the header.info file. (I just want to write code!) I'm searching the Internet and have learned that later versions of yum no longer use the header.info file. They now use xml. Of course, I would still have to know the format of the xml if there is no public repository for xephyr that is compatible with yum (meaning an rpm repository I assume).

Re: Xephyr dependencies stop progress...
Paul (Klapperich) Sorry for the confusion. My statement "BTW, the message indicates Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-56" should have been "BTW, the _error_ message _below_ indicates Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-56". The version had not been mentioned in any prior post. Paul (Sehorne) Paul Klapperich wrote: On 3/21/07, *Paul F.

I agree, but my installation of yum is not working either (because of dependencies). I tried to install xephyr using rpm hoping for success, wishful thinking I know. I guess my time would be better spent getting yum working. Right now when I execute yum I am greeted with the following: (BTW, the message indicates Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-56) Sorry, I missed that because you keep creating new posts instead of just continuing a single thread. Neither of the threads I read indicated a version. Is that RHEL 3.2, or an old Redhat 3.2? Regardless, even RHEL 3.2 is pretty old--that might give you some problems right there. But like I said, I don't really know Redhat... yum error msg follows== There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum.

Xephyr dependencies stop progress...
Thanks to Paul Klapperich's suggestion, I was able to use 'alien' to create an RPM file out of the DEB file. Now I am back in dependency hell. Xephyr depends on error: Failed dependencies: libXau.so.6 is needed by xserver-xephyr-1.1.1-21 libXdmcp.so.6 is needed by xserver-xephyr-1.1.1-21 libfontenc.so.1 is needed by xserver-xephyr-1.1.1-21 even after installing libXdmcp-1.0.1 -- Paul ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Compiler can't find glibconfig.h
I apologize if this is a duplicate. I had problems with the first email I sent. Below is the original message with corrections... Last evening I followed the instructions in the INSTALL.txt of Maemo 3.0 'bora'. I used the automated install scripts. Everything seems to have gone fine. 'hello.c' compiled fine in the SDK_ARMEL environment. However, when I try to compile the sample hildon program I am greeted with a message stating that 'glibconfig.h' cannot be found, and, in fact, it is not there. How do I get past this problem?
