Hello Fellow Listers... Forgive me for doing this to death again ... but I tried to install the sources of Kpsk and here's what happened. I was using the file identified below:- kpsk-1.0rc1-0.i386.rpm I attempted to install Kpsk (an amateur radio program) today and after parsing the file the install notified me of a large number of missing files. Their names are listed below: 1. libcrypto.so.2 2. libDCOP-gcc2.96.so.4 3. libkdecore-gcc2.96.so.4 4. libkdefx-gcc2.96.so.4 5. libkdesu-gcc2.96.so.4 6. libkdeui-gcc2.96.so.4 7. libkio-gcc2.96.so.4 9. libssi.so.2 No problem ... I will just look at my database of programs to be installed ... and do the necessary. But I can find no reference to these programs!! Can you please tell me where I can find these programs? Thanks -- Irena and Richard Jenkins Canberra, Australia =======================================
1. libcrypto.so.2
Install openssl
2. libDCOP-gcc2.96.so.4 3. libkdecore-gcc2.96.so.4 4. libkdefx-gcc2.96.so.4 5. libkdesu-gcc2.96.so.4 6. libkdeui-gcc2.96.so.4 7. libkio-gcc2.96.so.4
Install kdelibs
9. libssi.so.2
eh, was this supposed to be "libssl.so.2" maybe? If so, see #1 (Install openssl) I did a google search on each of the libraries you listed. Note that these are NOT programs, they are libraries. In Windowsease the term would be "dll". In *nix, ".so" indicates a shared (as opposed to static) library. Note each of the packages I suggested (openssl, kdelibs) may have other prerequisites as well that will need to be installed. -- John LeMay kc2kth Senior Technical Manager NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions
Hi. I'm was the doc writer for kpsk...what you are reporting does not sound familiar at all. Since the RPMs were compiled for Red Hat and Mandrake, I'm not sure how they install w/SuSE -- that could be one source of problems. You should maybe try building the program from the sources that are available on Sourceforge. (If you can roll an RPM for SuSE, I could post it to the Sourceforge kpsk web pages for distribution. The most current version is kpsk-1.0 (not rc1-0)...we need to remove the release candidate from the sourceforge files page, as it was improved upon with the release of 1.0. I hope you are able to get things running -- I'll try to help as I can, but I don't know much of anything about the way SuSE does things re: installation of other distro RPMs. 73- Ernie, kg9ni Irena and Richard Jenkins wrote:

The issues described are not unusal or unexpected. In fact, if you wrote the docs, you should reall that in the prerequisites section "kde" is clearly listed. In reality, kdelibs contains the kde-related files needed. I can't explain the OpenSSH requirements, however I would suggest adding that req to the requirements section of the documentation since it is clearly required. I may download the package myself and have a look at the spec file, but I can say for certain OpenSSH must be listed there since the install is looking for it. SuSE deals with RH packages pretty well, but RH packages don't always do things the "SuSE way" relative to scripts and file locations. As for rolling one's own, I wouldn't suggest that here as more packages would need to be installed. Most likely openssh-devel and kdelibs-devel, possibly others. -- John LeMay kc2kth Senior Technical Manager NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions

Ummm, ok, if you say so. This particular reported problem has never been passed along to me...hence my phrasing "what you are reporting does not sound familiar at all". Perhaps I should have appended "to me" to my original statement...

I'm not sure what is happening here either -- probably a case of missing devel packages?? Those *are* required, as listed in the prereqs section of the kpsk docs: "qt and qt-devel for Qt v.3.0.3 or later, kdelibs and kdelibs-devel for KDE 3.0.1 or later, zlib-devel, libjpeg, libjpeg-devel,libpng2 and libpng2-devel" http://kpsk.sourceforge.net/kpskdocs/index.html#software

I guess you found an error....the spec file should not go to lemay...I'll bet that is (unfortunately) a remnant of the sample spec file included in the rpm packaging app...it was my first attempt at making rpms as well.... You could send the spec to me, but I wouldn't know what to do with it, since I don't have a working suse installation ast the moment. Thanks for working with it, though...if you care to roll the rpm for suse, I would be happy to post it for testing. 73- Ernie,kg9ni

I've submitted a new spec file to geiseri@msoe.edu as requested in the spec file shipped with 1.0. Note that the shipping spec file is not complete and it is not possible to properly build a package with it. My changes should be a step or two in the right direction, but it is by no means complete. Since I cannot yet compile the app myself, I'm not certain what else will need to be done before it is correct. -- John LeMay kc2kth Senior Technical Manager NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions
