Problem installing on Suse 10

[Bart]

Hi,

I'm a newbie to Linux, so here's the problem I'm having trying to install Lazarus 0.9.12 on my Suse 10.0:

After downloading the rpm's for fpc, fpc-src and lazarus I managed to install fpc-2.0.2-0.i586.rpm and fpc-src-2.0.2-0.i386.rpm allright.

However trying to install Lazarus (in a root shell with: "rpm -Uvh lazarus-0.9.12-0.i386.rpm")gives me:

Code: [Select]

error: Failed dependencies:
        gdk-pixbuf is needed by lazarus-0.9.12-0
        gdk-pixbuf-devel is needed by lazarus-0.9.12-0
        glibc-devel is needed by lazarus-0.9.12-0
        gtk+-devel is needed by lazarus-0.9.12-0
        libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 is needed by lazarus-0.9.12-

Via yast I managed  to install gdk-pixbuf and glibc-devel.
However I cannot find the other three libraries.

Via YOU (Yast Online Update) I managed to locate gdk-pixbuf-devel, but YOU will not let me mark the damn thing for installation. As for gtk+-devel and libgdk_pixbuf.so.2, I cannot find them at all.

Obviously it is my lack of Linux knowledge that prevents me from solving this.
So can anyone give me a step by step description on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance,

Bart

For the ease of things, Suse removed the + from the gtk+ package name, so you need to install gtk-devel (and gtk)
if you are sure you have all other required packages installed, you can force installation by
rpm --nodeps ...

When I want to install gdk-pixbuf-devel-0.22.0-72.3.i586.rpm (from the Suse ftp-site) it says:
"gtk-devel is needed by gdk-pixbuf-devel-0.22.0-72.3"

However, there is no gtk-devel to be found on the Suse CD, nor on the Suse ftp site.
I'm kind of stuck  now.

gtk-devel is on the DVD in group:
development/libraries/X11 (Entwicklung/Bibliotheken/X11)

Well, I'm afraid it's not on any of my SuSe CD's.

Strange, it should be there.

Maybe because I do not have Suse Professional??

gtk-devel is only on dvd

try here

maybe this helps for getting the packages
http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/
look under Repositories - SuSE

I suggest add a new FTP installation source in Yast and disable the default source.
E.g. server: mirrors.kernel.org dierctory: /opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source

Hi,

Got Lazarus up and running now.
This was really dependency hell!
Only after finding the gtk-1.2..rpm and glib-devel at http://rpm.pbone.net and using  --nodeps while installing Lazarus (tips I found using the search function of this forum!) I got it running.

First impressions:

- It looks better than on Windows!
- It compiles faster

I could even compile an example spiro program I made with the Windows version without any alteration to the source code!
(Got into troubles of course when I tried to run the file from a FAT32 partition, thats a Linux newbie for you  :wink: )

Despite all the problems I encountered I must say I'm impressed!

There is absolutely NO hell at all.
If you have SUSE Linux 10, all is on the DVD.

The only thing you have to do is to download all the required Lazarus pckages. Place it into one folder and add it to the RPM sources (by clicking that option inside the Konqueror view). Start Yast by clicking the Lazarus *.rpm package.

The RPM istaller (shell) opens and will probably hint you to the fact, that GTK+ is needed. You can savely ignore that (couse it's only a renaming problem (as stated earlier here)).

All is done in 10 minutes. Ready to compile the first program in seconds.

It may be on the DVD, but it is not on the 5 CD set (ISO downloads) that I have.

Never mind that. Learning how to install/find this stuff is part of the learning curve. As stated before, I'm an absolute Linux novice, but I do not mind experimenting...
If I f.u. the system, thats also part of the learning process. Linux is not my primary OS at the moment, so I have no critical data on it.
Just as a precaution I kept a copy of all relevant rpm's on my WinMe data partition, just in case I'll have to install Linux again.

Anyhow. Now that I've got it running I get the impression that the linker is much fatser under linux than under Windows ME....

Greetz,

I use SUSE 10. I installed lazarus. It runs fine, y compiles some programs I wrote to test it... but the linker fails with this message:

Any idea? I'm a linux newbie too.
