Hello, I'm having problems trying to RPM &/or compile inkscape in Yoper linux. I have a thread going on the Yoper site here: http://www.yoper.com/forum2/index.php?showtopic=1928
- I tried the Redhat 0.39 RPM (using KPackage), & got
Failed dependencies: libsigc-1.2.so.5 I compiled that lib sucessfully & put copies in several directories, but still got the same error in KPackage.
well for the rpm in redhat it is normal that inkscape rpm still do not install because of the lack of libsigc, even if you compiled it from source. the rpm system of management knows that there is no libsigc rpm so.... ^^^^ A possibility would be to rpm -i --force or maybe more clever --nodeps (check the proper syntax with rpm --help) : the aims is to perform and installation without checking for dependancy (because you make AND make install libsigc). But inkscape will work only if it is the ONLY dependancy missing AND the libsigc-1.2.so.5 in the proper folder [ /usr/lib ]on my redhat9 if after the make and make install it is not called libsigc-1.2.so.5 [ or something like libsigc-1.2.so.5.0.5 you can link libsigc-1.2.so.5 -> libsigc-1.2.so.5.0.5 by a `ln -s `
Hope this help...I'm much more like newb-nix-usr
