[newbie] Sylpheed install
I found that I preferred the 0.8.3 version of Sylpheed-claws which I'm using under mdk 9.0 but the install fails for 9.1. It wants libcrypto.so.2 and libssl.so.2 I've googled and found that these files are provided by openssl. MCC tells me that openssl is installed and I'm having no luck finding the two files. I've tried the rpm query - whatprovides' which tells me no package provides either file. Can someone point me in the right direction? Curt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hello Curt, I suggest you ask the question on the Sylpheed Claws mailinglist, it might be dependant of a newer version even though it sounds strange, have you downloaded the tarball and compiled it instead?

The executable will call functions from certain libraries. If these libs are not there, the binary won't be able to run. Therefor the installer will first check if everything is present. Otherwise you sit there looking at an installed program that won't run. I'm not understanding why it installed in 9.0 with no problem but not in 9.1 (not that it matters but I have this need to know Just do ./configure, make, make install as usual. scratches noggin' I'm a little confused/ignorant on this compiling from source issue too. I've gathered that's it's not difficult but having never done it... As soon as you tar xfzv file tar will create a subdir in the directory where your prompt is, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] tar xfzv tarfile will make a subdir tarfile in directory computer. I have the tarball (.tgz), before I do 'tar xvzf filename, does it matter where the file is? eg. it's in a download directory under /home/curt right now, do I unpack it there and continue with ./configure, etc... or move it somewhere first, then cd to that dir and proceed? Just unpack it where you want it. You can tar x it in /home/curt/download, getting /home/curt/download/sylpheed... From there you can ./configure etc. And, once the install is done, those files can be deleted from the download dir or wherever they end up... correct? Right. Thanks for your help. I'm looking forward to the day when I can give back to those as green as I am today. We all had to learn. :) And now we spread the knowledge. The more the merrier!
