Frozen-bubble install fails

[neilloffhagen]

Not sure if this is the place to post for help with games or just a place to talk about how good they are? So if this is the wrong place please move it or delete it.

Anyway, I've been trying to install frozen-bubble for ages on FC5 and keep getting the following error:

[root@mon18101 loffhnm1]# yum install frozen-bubble

Wondering if this is a wrong repo or something else?

Thanks

So it looks like you need to find perl-SDL < 0:2.0. I also notice that you do not have core as one of your repos. That might be where it is hiding. I am pretty new, so take this info for what its worth. I have been using Smart as a graphic front end for Yum. You can give it a try by yum install smart and then it should appear in your system menu. Its pretty good about locating missing dependency's.

I do have core as a repo. It's listed as the number 4 in the list above? Installed smart and when I try to install frozen-bubble it says does not exist, but wehen I trry to install perl-SDL it says a higher version is already installed:

smart install perl-SDL
Loading cache...
Updating cache... ######################################## [100%]

warning: perl-SDL-2.1.2-4.2.fc4.1@i386 is already installed

Any ideas?

Neil.

Sorry I didn't notice core. I think I am going blind. This is a thought but if it hoses your computer I am not responsible :-). Try removing perl-SDL, and then try installing frozen-bubble. Let Smart do all the work and see what happens. Good luck.

[grndplane]

Don't use Smart from terminal. Just open up the graphic interface. You should see it listed with all your other system programs.

Thankls for your help, but still never managed to get it installed, but found an rpm and used that instead :)

Apparently Frozen Bubble requires Perl-SDL minor than the 2.0 version, and the one installed is 2.1.2, I'm surprised this slipped through Livna... Might be worth reporting a bug to their bugzilla, as one of Livna's main objectives is to be 100% compatible with Core and Extras packages, and obviously this must be an omission.

perl-SDL used to be offered by freshrpms for Core 5. I am not sure what happened, but they removed the rpm. I don't know if they found a bug or if it broke a dependency. I have the same problem. yum sees the fb package, but it can't find the dependency. I guess I could try installing the FC4 rpms instead.
