You are in a twisty maze of dependencies, all unsatisfied
I am attempting to install evolution 1.0.2 from RPM on a SuSE 7.3 system, and am having quite a time with the dependencies. I think I remember someone here going through the same thing not so long ago, but I cannot find a search interface to the archives, so if someone could point me to some useful info on what packages I will need so I can batch them up and download them all at once, I would appreciate it. In particular, I can't figure out why this happens: rpm -i intltool-0.14-2.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: perl(Cwd) is needed by intltool-0.14-2 perl(Fcntl) is needed by intltool-0.14-2 perl(File::Basename) is needed by intltool-0.14-2 perl(File::Copy) is needed by intltool-0.14-2 perl(File::Find) is needed by intltool-0.14-2 perl(File::stat) is needed by intltool-0.14-2 perl(Getopt::Long) is needed by intltool-0.14-2 perl(strict) is needed by intltool-0.14-2 Aren't a good number of these contained in perl 5.6.1? # perl --version This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i586-linux Jon -- Jon Tillman www.smokingpipes.com www.tobaccoreviews.com www.eruditum.org
Hello, Jon. Please take a look at the thread 'Ximian for SuSE 7.3' that is currently going on. Bye for now, Stuart. <snip> I am attempting to install evolution 1.0.2 from RPM on a SuSE 7.3 system, and am having quite a time with the dependencies. </snip>
I love the title of the message. I wonder how many readers remember the old DOS program that it refers to. Actually, it was before DOS, I think. I believe I had a version of that on a CPM machine about 1983. Was it called Wolfenstein then, or was the name applied afterwards? (Wolfenstein would not fit in an 8x3 filename.) I never solved the whole thing, but it was fun. --doug

You can still have this experience, right on your SuSE Linux machine!! Not even a 'Net connection is needed. Fire up emacs. Type 'M-x dunnet' (that's 'Alt-x dunnet' if you're not into emacs-speak) and have at 'er. I could *never* get through it, even peeking at the darn source-code... :-( -Gord -- Gordon Pritchard, P.Eng., Member IEEE Technical University of B.C. - Research Lab Engineer mailto:gordon.pritchard@techbc.ca direct phone: 604-586-6186
will suse professional v7.3 take advantage of multiple cpu's? thanks.
That is what the SMP kernel is for. Jim 02/09/02 04:59:21 PM, "Rick Francis" <rfrancis@mindspring.com> wrote:

Yes - but will the installation detect multiple processors and install the SMP kernal, or do you have to tell it? alan On 9 Feb 2002 at 17:06, James Bliss wrote:

Hello, Alan. The installation process is very good at finding out what processors you have. It will automatically setup the correct SMP kernel for your system, at least with Intel CPUs. I haven't had the opportunity to test it with dual Athlon MPs yet, so I can't make any assertions for that platform.

Yep. Two of my duallies here are running SuSE 7.3 Pro. One's got Pentium 233MMXs, the other's got PII-233s. However, these two machines have different kernels. The 7.3 installation will pick the correct kernel for you, but if you want to update the kernel with the RPMs from the SuSE FTP site, original Pentia need the k_psmp kernel, while PentiumPro and above use the k_smp kernel. What CPUs do you have ? How many ?

Holy Smoke..... Is the Pope Catholic ?

Since all Linux distributions use the Linux kernel, the question is a general one and not a SuSE-specific. For Linux 2.4, two- way SMP is excellent, and four-way is supposedly the "sweet spot". I believe (don't quote this) Linux 2.4 scales up to 64 procs, but the performance is abysmal. So, to answer your question, YES! -- Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0

What's that about a sweet spot? I have a 4-way P-III running linux at the office, but it's no barn burner. Nor does Hyper-Threading take the place of real additional CPU's. Linux begins to look like a better deal, if Bill Gates says you must buy XP Server for such a box. Maybe MS have convinced themselves linux has no chance against a $900+ OS which has yet to appear in our lab? kernel 2.4.17 runs OK on dual Hyper-Threading CPU's (4 "logical" processors). make -j 4 does run faster H-T enabled, though nothing like 3 CPU's.
