I am using SUSE 8.2 and I often get error messages like this when attempting to install rpm packages: I don't know where glib is and I haven't been able to find it. And if I did know where it was, I don't know how to indicate that in a command line.
Install glib-devel then try again -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2)
Tried, but now I have dependency issues. I've been trying to resolve a
lot of them too:
"error: failed dependencies:
pkgconfig >= 0.8 is needed by glib-devel-1.3.15-1
glib = 1.3.15 is needed by glib-devel-1.3.15-1
libglib-1.3.so.15 is needed by glib-devel-1.3.15-1
libgobject-1.3.so.15 is needed by glib-devel-1.3.15-1"
I probably need to find these files now, but I keep running into
deadends with this approach. These files probably depend on other files
which I don't have and so on.
I like linux a lot, but from a newbie's point of view, it's been a hell
of a struggle just to get a few basic programs outside the distrubition
(and some within) to run. But I'm not going back.
