problem installing amule-2.0.0rc5 on SuSE 9.1
« on: July 29, 2004, 12:59:37 PM »
I'm having some trouble installing amule on SuSE 9.1

I tried two things:

1)
First of all full RPM install. I installed the wxGTK, wxGTK-devel and wxBase that I've downloaded from your website. After I installed the Crypto++ RPM.
So far so good. Then I downloaded the aMule-2.0.0rc5-1.i586-SuSE_9.rpm, when I tried to install this package I get a message that the package is causing error. I'm using YaST.

2)
After the problem above I decided to download the lastest source of amule: aMule-2.0.0rc5.tar.gz. and compile it.
But after running this command: ./configure --disable-debug --enable-optimise && make I get these error messages:

checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.

Which libraries should aMule use?
                                       wxWidgets          2.4.2
                                       GTK                Not detected

rm -f en_GB.gmo && : -c --statistics -o en_GB.gmo en_GB.po
mv: cannot stat `t-en_GB.gmo': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [en_GB.gmo] Error 1

What should I do?
Regards

This the problem with the RPm package:

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/local/share/applications/alc.desktop;4108db9d: cpio: open failed - Not a directory

I dont think this RPM package is for SuSE 9.1

under SuSE this is a bit "stupid"

did you run the configure as user or as root?
if you installed as root try again as user, and then GTK version will be detected,
if did did as youser , you are missing GTK-devel check for taht in yast

also check if you have gettext installed

for your rpm problem
check on your system if taht path
/usr/local/share/applications/

exists. maybe it cannot get installed because this path is not there.
but as far as I know the SuSE 9.0 rpms work on 9.1 rpms

about the rpm, if you have a previous aMule or xMule installation, remove it first since it sometimes causes priblems.

Hi !,

Open a Terminal or Konsole, second icon to right of "camaleon"(SuSE logo)
type:
su
password : your ROOT password
rm -r .aMule    (if error, ignore(NOT TYPE THAT))
rm -r .eMule    (if error, ignore(NOT TYPE THAT))
rpm -ivh aMule-2.0.0rc5-1.i586-SuSE_9.rpm

if not work try:
rpm -Uvh aMule-2.0.0rc5-1.i586-SuSE_9.rpm
...U not u...
exit
exit

If not work, try use APT for SuSE, if you don't have install ATP, for that only ask in another therads.

That it's all ;)...
c'ya...


Sorry my english but I only speak spanish :P
