Hi folks,

Is there any chance of getting a statically-linked, rpm-packaged version of inkscape 0.44? I'm missing the appropriate versions of libcairo, libglitz and libpangocairo.

Thanks in advance, Bryan

New subject: rpm and dependencies 0.44

Hi list,

Does anyone install the RPM packages on Fedora Core 4 ? I am having dependencies problems and would like to use rpm to new versions and for safe uninstalling.

depfiles:

[root@...1021... Desktop]# rpm -ivh inkscape-0.44-0.i686.rpm erro: Failed dependencies: libcairo.so.2 is needed by inkscape-0.44-0.i686 libglitz.so.1 is needed by inkscape-0.44-0.i686 libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 is needed by inkscape-0.44-0.i686

Regards Ezequias

Ezequias, a proper RPM for Fedora is on its way for Extras: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196572 https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2006-June/msg02242.htm...

Well, yes and no. The problem is that until a few months ago the RPMs were built against GTK+ 2.4 as per the requirements, until it didn't build anymore. I had to upgrade to GTK+ 2.6, which introduces bogus dependencies on pangocairo and glitz, among others.

So I tried to statically link those libs, but to no avail. They build and install but don't link.

I then tried appbuild, which is capable of removing bogus dependencies, but the compilation fails and I couldn't figure out why.

I did then some more compiling, until I had no longer much time to do something about it and then released the RPMs with the unresolved dependencies. I thought it was better than nothing and was still hoping to fix the issue in a matter of days. But it's more complicated than I thought.

So, to answer your question, progress can be achieved if someone is willing to give a hand.

Hmm, well let's start from the origin - why did it fail to build against GTK+ 2.4? Even now we still have the requirement that it build against 2.4, so if it does not, it seems this is the thing to fix.

I think this is handled here:
