How to install(¿como instalo) amule en Mandriva?
« on: April 28, 2006, 08:40:44 PM »

Edit by Wuischke: Moved to English forums, see reasons below.

Hola a todos,

Soy nuevo en el mundo Linux, hasta ahora solo había usado Windows.

Hace algunos días instalé Mandriva y funciona muy bien (de hecho, me está gustando mucho más que Windows) pero tengo algunos problemas a la hora de instalar programas, me bajé los siguientes programas:
TutorialLinux-6.0-0.tgz
aMule-2.1.0.tar.bz2

He intentando de todo... pero no tengo ni idea de como hacer para instalarlos!

Por favor, podría alguien ayudarme? :baby:

Gracias y saludos

¡Bienvendio Vix!

No has dicho cual version de Mandriva usas, conjeturo que usas Madriva 2006.
OldFrag creía paquetes para Mandriva: http://www.oldfrog.info/Linux/RPMsaMule/wxGTKu%202.6.3/
Tienes que bajar el paquete de wxGTK y el de aMule.

Porque no conozco a Mandriva yo puedo solamente ayudar con las solutiones con la terminal.
Para instalar un paquete tienes que executar este instruccion:
rpm -Uhv nombre del paquete

Para instalar aMule: (su porque necessitas la autorización de Root)
Code: [Select]
su
rpm -Uhv wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm
rpm -Uhv aMule-2.1.1-wxGtk2.6.3_mdv.i586.rpm

El otro fichero es un archivo. Para extraer puedes utilizar este instruccion:
tar xvzf nombre del archivo

Espero que podia ayudarte y que has comprendo lo que he escrito...(mi español no es muy bueno)

Saludos

Hola wuischke, muchas gracias por la ayuda!

He bajado los rpm que me decías, sin embargo, al intentar instalar el primero me sale el siguiente error:

[victor@localhost Desktop]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -Uhv wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0 is needed by wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586
        libwx_baseu_xml-2.6.so.0 is needed by wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586
[root@localhost Desktop]#

Con respecto al segundo, pude instalarlo correctamente, sin embargo, no puedo ejecutar amule (supongo que será porque no instalé bien el primer paquete?)

Te agradezco mucho cualquier otro consejo que puedas darme!

ah..  si, tengo Mandriva 2006 y tu español es perfectamente comprendible. Gracias!

saludos

Preguntaba OldFrog y me respondia:
Quote
What is wrong is I messed the RPM and forgot to include wx_base libs, stupid me.

I don't speak spanish. Could you please tell I apologizse, and will update the RPM ASAP ?
I'm deeply sorry.

El paquete falta unos ficheros. OldFrog va a actualizar el RPM lo más pronto posible.
Él se disculpa mil veces.

Stupidly, I put the libwx_base* libs in the devel package. Everything should be ok now. Sorry. I controlled it, it works now.
You need to uninstall the old package first.

rpm -e wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586 --nodeps --force
rpm -ivh wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm --nodeps --force


Find the new updated packages here :

Hello OldFrog,

Thax for your help!!

I'm still having problems with amule installation

Maybe it's because I wasn't able to uninstall the old package properly

After downloading the new uptdated packages, I tryed to follow your instructions and this is wath happened:


[victor@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost victor]# rpm -e wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586 --nodeps --force
rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced
[root@localhost victor]# rpm -ivh wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm --nodeps --force
error: open of wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm failed: No existe el fichero o el directorio
[root@localhost victor]#

Please, can you help me and tell me wath am I doing wrong?  ?(  ?(

Well actually, all I could say about "open of wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm failed: No existe el fichero o el directorio" is you were not in the right directory

Ok,  then the question is:
Which one is the right directory??
or :
How can I know which one the right directory is??

An other strange thing is that when I try to install your wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm by doble clicking on it, there is a mistake message telling me that it is not possible to intall it because there is something missing  called: "libwx_baseu_xml-2.6.so.0"

Do you know wath is this?

Thank you for your help!! :D

Would you mind if I move the thread to the English section, because OldFrog doesn't speak Spanish and your English is pretty good as well? (And I'll write this comment in English as well, because of my crappy Spanish knowledge...it always takes hours to write a comment...;) )
Si no quieres voy a mover otra vez.

The right directory is where the file is located. When you've downloaded the file to /home/vix/downloads then you have to cd (change directory) to this directory in the terminal.
Code: [Select]
[victor@localhost ~]$ cd downloads
[victor@localhost ~/downloads]$ su
[victor@localhost ~/downloads]$ rpm -ivh wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm --nodeps --force

What's regarding the second issue, you should try to install the devel-package which OldFrog provides first.
I think he put the wxbase*-libraries into the devel-RPM instead of the 'real' RPM and maybe he forgot to move some files, which are still inside the devel-RPM.

Actually, the RPMs have been updated. I should ssay please work in console mode;, as it's difficult to explain with words how to click here and grab there.

From the MCC, install the package wget
Open a console, and do the following commands :

Quote
wget http://www.oldfrog.info/Linux/RPMsaMule/wxGTKu%202.6.3/wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm
wget http://www.oldfrog.info/Linux/RPMsaMule/wxGTKu%202.6.3/aMule-2.1.1-wxGtk2.6.3_mdv.i586.rpm
su

(enter root's password)
rpm -e wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3 --nodeps --force (to remove the uncomplete package)
rpm -ivh wx-gtk2-unicode-2.6.3-1.i586.rpm --nodeps --force
rpm -Uvh aMule-2.1.1-wxGtk2.6.3_mdv.i586.rpm --nodeps --force

exit

exit

That should do the trick

   rpm -Uvh aMule-2.1.1-wxGtk2.6.3_mdv.i586.rpm --nodeps --force

both pakages has been installed well, but my question is: in what place? where have this files been installed? I mean... everything happened automaticaly and I didn't had the choice to choose where to "put" this thigs

Sorry for my english, I hope you understand everything

It's no problem to understand your English.

Try the command
Quote
rpm -ql packagename
, which will show you the location of the installed files.

(And it's alright that you're not asked for a location. The different file types have their own location on linux. e.g. Binaries in /usr/bin [or /usr/local/bin] and icons in /usr/share/pixmaps)

What he said :-)

RPM system as most linux package methods are static compressed file containers, not true installers (Even if such ones exist in linux, as for amsn for instance). This because there is not yet a truie common standard for installers.
So actually, "legacy" application packages usually install in /usr (/usr/bin for binaries, /usr/lib for librairies, /usr/share for data associated to the software, as the web templates for amule, or translations ...), and "one shot" or "trial" usually go in /usr/local (That I do with my CVS packages).

Plus the RPM packages may install too updates for menus. Here's the main difference in RPMs specific for Mandriva, as the menu system it uses is not the RedHat definition, but something inherited from Debian, and with specific tricks to be used in all installed desktops.
This way you'll find amule and other binaries from the package in Internet/File transfer, for CVS as for legacy ones. And they will be in these menues in KDE, Gnome, AfterStep, Windowmaker, Enlightment,  fluxbox, IceWm, FcWm, etc.
