Hiya gang,

I rebuilt the src.rpm of kaffeine and went to install it with 'rpm -ivh kaffeineblah.rpm' but keep getting this message back:

error: failed dependencies: libGLcore.so.1 is needed by kaffeine-0.3.1-1

I did a locate for libGLcore, and it's in /usr/lib, and is linked with libGLcore.so.1.0.4363. So I tried to do with libGLcore as I did with QT:

libGLcoreDIR=/usr/lib export libGLcore

But this doesn't seem to work or help (and I'm pretty sure it's wrong on my part anyway, it was just a shot in the dark). Is there something I'm missing or not doing correctly? I'd really like to try this kaffeiene thing out. Thanks for any hints/suggestions.

John, The libGLcore is an Nvidia bug. If the rpm is searching for it, it is because the user that made the .src.rpm had an Nvidia card in their machines, running the Nvidia binary drivers. For some reason, Nvidia wants to attach itself to the compile. Another good reason for not using Nvidia in my opinion, but that's another story and I digress.

You will have to have the full source to compile it on your machine, since apparently you are not using a Nvidia graphics card.

Hi Patrick, Yessir, I do have an nvidia card, and have the libGLcore.so.1.0.4363 (and the libGLcore.so.1, they're linked w/ each other). The .src.rpm came from PackMan's website ( http://packman.links2linux.de ), almost all of his .src.rpm's work well for me when I want to --rebuild my own. I have noticed this trouble with the nvidia libGLcore quite a while back, when I was trying to install gnomemeeting IIRR on this 8.2 machine. It's so strange that even linking the two doesn't seem to help any with certain apps (like this kaffeine). Thanks for any more assistance and/or ideas for this problem.

Please note that rpm doesn't care, or even look at, what is actually on your disk. It only looks at its database, and since the nvidia drivers are no longer distributed as rpms, it doesn't find those libs.

The programs should work fine regardless, if you install with --nodeps (assuming that is the only problem you see when you try to install)

The solution (workaround) to this is to create a dummy (empty) rpm, which "Provides" libGLcore.so.1 so rpm can see it.

Okay, looks like all I needed to do was as you guys were saying...just install it with --nodeps. It worked, and is working right now. So this will always be the same way with any src.rpm that makes an .rpm after --rebuild? Anyway, thanks to everyone for the tips/pointers/nudges/help . John PS...This kaffeine is really nice! It has a few little more settings from Xine is all, but it's still a really nice app. - -- I needed fresh bugs for my SuSE gecko, and Linux penguin.

I forgot to add, if you have problems building it due to dependency issues, just open up the spec file and comment out the appropriate require line.

When an rpm "requires" a specific lib, it is most likely pulled in by rpm's "Automatic Dependencies" checking. You can turn that off, of course, but that could potentially lead to broken dependencies Also, as Philipp mentioned, you could change the links to the GL packages if you build the rpm yourself, but that doesn't help if the rpm comes from somewhere else, like commercial rpms, which you can't rebuild.

The trick is rather easy :) Run the script switch2mesasoft before compiling the app and run switch2nvidia afterwards. The scripts change symlinks to the GL libraries. This does *not* effect the application, as the app will use whatever GL libraries are present, including the nvidia ones. This will *only* get rid of the dependency on the nvidia specific library.

As others have pointed out, this is a false dependency. It's not actually required regardless of what ldd says. I fixed it by modifying the find-requires scripts in /usr/lib/rpm to grep -v "libGLcore.so" wherever an ldd is performed.

Is it no possible to make an rpm that says "provides libGLcore.so.1". Ah let's try it.... Humm seems possible: richard@pilchard:~/packages/BUILD> rpm -qp --provides /home/richard/packages/RPMS/i386/libglcore-1.0-0.i386.rpm libGLcore.so.1 I don't know whether this may solve the above issue though. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
