Title: fresh reinstall?
Post by: sinbad on March 21, 2008, 02:43:10 AM

Hi everyone,
I tried to run amule on my fedora 7, I was able to install with yum for FC5 but I had some connections problems I thought maybe I should try an older version.
to make a long story short, I ended up deleting the /.amule folder instead of using rpm to uninstall, then I tried compiling from source over it...big mess..

So right now what I'm hoping to do is to reinstall amule with yum; but it tells me

Code: [Select]

Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/bin/wxcas from install of amule-2.1.3-2.lvn6 conflicts with file from package aMule-wxcas-2.1.3-1_FC5
So I try to find the file but it's not where it says in the error

Code: [Select]

root@fedora//home/sinbad/Download# locate wxcas
/home/sinbad/Download/aMule-wxcas-2.1.3-1_FC5.i586.rpm
/root/.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments/aMule-wxcas-2.1.3-1_FC5.i586.rpm.desktop
/usr/share/applications/wxcas.desktop
/usr/share/man/de/man1/wxcas.1.gz
/usr/share/man/es/man1/wxcas.1.gz
/usr/share/man/hu/man1/wxcas.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/wxcas.1.gz
/usr/share/pixmaps/wxcas.xpm
root@fedora//home/sinbad/Download#

So I tried the steps from the same wiki page http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_uninstall_wxWidgets and still gets the same error when I try to 'yum install amule'

How can I completely remove the files and reinstall amule?
thanks in advance for any help.

where is the registry cleaner here? :P

Hi,

wxCas is not a part of wxWidgets, but aMule. Remove the package "amule-2.1.3-2.lvn6" and it should work.

thank you for the fast reply.
How do I remove the package? IIRC this one I tried to compile from source but not sure. Yum can't remove it as it doesn't see it installed.

The only place I see the package is in yum cache directory, I tried to remove it from there but no luck.

Code: [Select]

Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/bin/wxcas from install of amule-2.1.3-2.lvn6 conflicts with file from package aMule-wxcas-2.1.3-1_FC5

Please do a "yum search amule" and "yum remove pkg name" all packages it finds. (I hope the commands are right, I got them from the man page.) Then reinstall aMule from the repositories.

thanks wuischke once again,
ok so the command is yum info pckg name will tell me what install and what available from the repos.
yum search will search for all available packages.

So I managed to delete the package and reinstall, but when I try to run amule I get

Code: [Select]

amule: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to install with yum and get an error libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0 is provided by installed package

do you have an idea what should I do next?
(google isn't my friend today for some reason)

yes I did removed the libary like in the wiki article, or not, because when I checked with yum it said 'wxGTK.i386     2.8.4-3.fc7  installed'  so I reinstalled with yum and still when I try to run amule I get the error thst it couldn't load  libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0   

you sure this library comes with the wxGTK package?

wow man this unix rocks :)

just learnt another cool yum command:

Code: [Select]

yum whatprovides libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0
had to remove compat-wxGTK26.i386 which removed amule & VLC with it. then simply yum install amule which added the compact-wxGTK26 too.

thanks a lot for the help fellas.
finally I can start sharing again, time to build my credits like on my M$ machine. :)
