Title: Can not run amule on Fedora 4
Post by: pobman on June 29, 2005, 06:15:30 PM

Help,

Since upgrading/moving from RHEL 4 to Fedora 4 I have not been able to get amule running, can someone please point me in the right direction.
I used yum to install amule but get the following message when trying to run it.

FATAL ERROR! You have attempted to use a version of wxGTK older than
the 2.5.1 release, compiled against GTK2! This combination is not
supported by aMule due to many known problems. If you wish to use
wxGTK compiled against GTK2, please upgrade to a more recent version
of wxGTK.

Current version is:
aMule 2.0.1 using wxGTK2 v2.4.2
wxGTK v2.6.0
wxBase not installed.

Any help would be good, as I am getting withdrawl symptoms and even considered using MS & emule I need help soon or I could be turned back to the Dark side.

aMule 2.0.1 using wxGTK2 v2.4.2

clear enough, or?

just get rid of wxgtk 2.4.2 linked against gtk2 and compile wxgtk 2.6.0 yourself. then recompile amule

you probably have
wx-2.4.2 in /usr/bin/
and
wx-2.6.1 in /usr/local/bin/

can you post

ls -la /usr/bin/wx*

AND

ls -la /usr/local/bin/wx*

Here is the listing of /usr/bin/wxrc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 Jun 27 00:58 /usr/bin/wxrc -> wxrc-2.6

I have no entries in /usr/local/bin

can you post

whereis wx-config

it should be in /usr/bin/ with your setup...

btw: did you remove wx-2.4.2 already?

You are right the wx-config is in /usr/bin/ and no I have not remoced wxGTK2.4.2 yet

it could be 2.6 aswell

so well best would be

-remove the wx-2.4.2
AND
-recompile 2.6.1 with

--prefix=/usr/ + all the options you want

Thanks for your help on this.

I have never recompiled a program yet or even compiled one for that matter but I have done a little research and see I run the make config command then make install as root?

--prefix=/usr/ + all the options you want?
What options would I need?

from: http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Compilation_Installation

Link against the GTK version you have on your system (choose one):

    * Linked against GTK1: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gtk2 --with-gtk && make
    * Linked against GTK2: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --enable-unicode --disable-compat24 --enable-optimise && make


just pick one...in the end make install and its ok..just read teh top link or ask if you have any problems :)
