iptux for Mandriva 2010.2? Topic is solved

[viking60]

Has anyone got iptux working? I need it to communicate with users on the other side of the mansion....

As usual I have it working on my Arch boxes - and slowly it starts to become a problem that I constantly seem to miss some software on the Mandriva box.
This may be because Arch has spoiled me or ... Mandriva is getting outdated.

Are there any working (RPM) instant lan messaging alternatives?

So, for what are you paying this guy?-->

From the link in your article, I see the project: http://freecode.com/projects/iptux and there is a link to the website, there http://freecode.com/urls/66a184946074bb ... adc8c8a229

Selecting the latest version, I like to open internet tarballs with xarchiver, which downloads to /tmp, so, if I decide not to use it, the file gets automatically deleted at next boot.
The files look like something that might build with the simple build formula and I have xarchiver extract to my build area. Here, in the toplevel directory of the extracted tarball on 64-bit 2011, it's pretty straightforward....

Code: Select all

[rolf@localhost iptux-0.5.2]$ ./configure

...standard first build step. All the failed attempts and circuitous route to a 'successful' 2011 installation left me forgetting to have the 'Development' group installed. I've built a couple of programs and installed devel packages bit by bit but configure could not find a gconf-2 package. I installed what looked like the most likely gconf2-sounding package not already installed, lib64gconfmm2.6-devel, and that brought in what was probably actually needed, lib64GConf2-devel. Luckily, after that, configure finished and the next step is make.

Code: Select all

[rolf@localhost iptux-0.5.2]$ make

That, also, completed without error, so on to

Code: Select all

[rolf@localhost iptux-0.5.2]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost iptux-0.5.2]# make install

It did just that, even installed a menu entry under Internet.



Since one could spit in my 'mansion' and hit a potential iptux pal, I can't test further. However, so far, I'm impressed with this fellow's program writing skills and would think it's a good bet to build it on 2010.2.

Ok I am on it so far I have this on ./configure

configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12.0) were not met:

No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS
and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details

configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12.0) were not met:

Here's how I would approach that error message:

Code: Select all

[rolf@localhost ~]$ urpmq -y gtk+
gtk+2.0
gtk+3.0
lib64gtk+-devel
lib64gtk+-x11-2.0_0
lib64gtk+1.2
lib64gtk+2.0-devel
lib64gtk+2.0_0
lib64gtk+3.0-devel
lib64gtk+3_0
lib64gtk+extra-2_2.0
lib64gtk+extra-2_2.0-devel
lib64gtk+extra0
lib64gtk+extra0-devel
libgtk+-x11-2.0_0
libgtk+2.0-devel
libgtk+2.0_0
libgtk+3.0-devel
libgtk+3_0

Almost always, for a build requirement, you will be looking for lib-something-devel
On 32-bit, I would urpmi libgtk+2.0-devel
On 64 bit, I would urpmi lib64gtk+2.0-devel

Code: Select all

[rolf@localhost ~]$ urpmq --sources libgtk+2.0-devel
/var/cache/urpmi/rpms/libgtk+2.0-devel-2.24.5-3-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm

Here, on 2011, the version of that development library is 2.24.5, which is >= 2.12.0, which the message requested, so that part looks hopeful.

So, try installing the proper version of that package on your system and try ./configure again. If it errors at the same place, adjust the search parameters or look for some likely other package. If, like me, you didn't install the development group, you might have to resolve the errors one at a time.

[viking60]

Thanks this:

On 64 bit, I would urpmi lib64gtk+2.0-devel

toke care of that now I have:

Code: Select all

configure: error: Package requirements (gconf-2.0 >= 2.4.0) were not met:

No package 'gconf-2.0' found

I do have lib64GConf2-devel and lib64gconfmm2.6-devel but Mandriva 2010.2 will not install them: with the message:

Code: Select all

Denne pakka kan ikke velges:

- lib64gconfmm2.6-devel-2.28.0-2mdv2010.1.x86_6

You cannot choose this package.

That might have something to do with me having lib64GConf2_4 installed and I cannot find any devel package for that....

I guess Mandriva 2010.2 is getting old....

[rolf]

Did you try urpmi lib64GConf2-devel

Code: Select all

[rolf@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa|grep lib64GConf
lib64GConf2_4-2.32.5-1-mdv2011.0.x86_64
lib64GConf2-devel-2.32.5-1-mdv2011.0.x86_64

I've got both of these installed, as well as lib64gconfmm2.6-devel-2.28.2-2-mdv2011.0.x86_64

Are you using urpmi? Could you add a -v for verbose to the command? Are all your rpm sources added and enabled?

For the last, the easiest way I know is to go to rpmdrake > Options > Media Manager and look at what's there, what's checked....

There must be something askew, somewhere.

[viking60]

Well basically I cannot install that because it is depending on packages older than those I have installed.

And then is asks me if I want to install them anyway (should I go for it: Berserk style?)

When i do it with MCC i simply get a you cannot install this message:

[rolf]

Yeah, rpmdrake can be very accomodating, like Lucy with the football.

Here's what I have:

Code: Select all

[rolf@localhost ~]$ rpm -q lib64dbus-1-devel lib64GConf2-devel
lib64dbus-1-devel-1.4.6-2-mdv2011.0.x86_64
lib64GConf2-devel-2.32.5-1-mdv2011.0.x86_64

I looked all around the 2010.2 packages at the yandex mirror and I don't see what could be the matter. Do you think you did some MIB or some backports/testing berserken upgrade on that box?

The next version of that is what I have and you could try:

urpmi ftp://mirror.yandex.ru/mandriva/officia ... x86_64.rpm

Unless it's automatic, don't worry, I don't guess Lucy would let you kick it.

Try installing gtk+3, and also its devel - see if it pulls in the other as a dependency.

Edit: Also lib64gtk+3_0 and it's devel.

[viking60]

Hmm I do have the old
Powerpack repos and naturaly I stopped paying for it - they might fubar this. The install of lib64dbus-1-devel lib64GConf2-devel is not accepted since they depend on older packages than I have installed - I do have the MiB_Basics64 repos set on upgrade only
@rolf
that package only gives me new dependency trouble - I guess I have played around with this Mandriva install for so long that it might be me.....
I would have upgraded if it had been possible to save my Virtualbox data - but that was not the case.
gtk+3 is not in my repos.
Looks like I am FUBARED

So waiting for a new Mandriva to install or maybe go all Arch seems to be the options. Maybe the old 2010.2 can be upgraded to Mageia while keeping the virtualbox - I might try that.

I seem to get in these problems all the time because I am spoiled by Arch, and then there is no package in Mandriva or Mageia.....

[rolf]

Power Pack is only some restricted/third-party and I don't think it would affect the basic packages. I see some dbus in MIB: http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/2010.2/64/testing/dbus/

What is the version of your lib64dbus-1-devel? rpm -q lib64dbus-1-devel

I could try to build iptux on GF's 2010.2 and put a tarball in Berserk_friends or such, if it succeeds.

[viking60]

Code: Select all

rpm -q lib64dbus-1-devel
pakke lib64dbus-1-devel er ikke installert

"The package is not installed"
And the version is lib64dbus-1-devel-1.2.24-1mdv2010.1.x86_64 it is in the repos and cannot be installed
I do have lib64dbus-1_3 installed version 1.4.0
There is something really fishy here...
