GYACHI install

[386sxFan]

Well admitedly I haven't really used any flavor of linux in over 3 years so most of what I did know has been replaced by useless facts or something. I have to have Gyachi installed in order to move back to Linux completely because my mother has to see our son on yahoo messenger.
Here are the dependancy issues:
Missing Dependency: libjasper >= 1.701.0 is needed by package gyachi
Missing Dependency: libalsa2 >= 0.9 is needed by package gyachi
Missing Dependency: gtk+2.0 >= 2.8.0 is needed by package gyachi

I know I can nodep it but I also know they are installed. So if figure this can be a learning experience instead of a quick patch. How do I tell the package manager where to look for them at and how do I find them?. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Mike.

Looks like you are trying to install a RPM built for some other Linux distro than Fedora, with a different package naming system. Fedora package names are "jasper", "alsa-lib" and "gtk2". If you can't find a Fedora RPM you need to build one by yourself.

make sure that jasper, alsa-lib and gtk2 are installed. The names shown above are from mandrake where packages are named differently. After you install these three packages do

rpm -ivh gyachi-xxx.rpm --nodeps

better yet, install the src.rpm of gyachi. tweak its spec file and repackage and rebuild.

Worked pretty well for me. There was a complain about not finding "libgailutils.so.17" when tried to run from the terminal. The latest gail package does not come with libgailutils.so.17 but found libgailutils.so.18 under /usr/lib. Made a soft link, issuing "ln -s /usr/lib/libgailutils.so.18 /usr/lib/libgailutils.so.17" as root and it started working. Thanks Saqer.

Okay I finnaly got my system to see the network. Running out of options getting FC6 to configure the network but network running fine in windows, I started checking my bios to see what I might have disabled. Turned out that I disabled some weird advance power management functions - from what I can tell - the option to turn my pc on and off from the keyboard namely... after re-enabling this feature, for some strange reason two things happend in linux. 1) boot time was vastly improved, and 2) my network was now getting an IP address. I'm really not sure how they are related as to me this feature has always been a fairly useless one. Anyhow its been working flawless for about a week or so (knock on preverbial wood)

Now i've run into a snag. Most all the aps I need are installed. I wanted to install a Yahoo client with webcam support. I remember back when I was using Fedora core 2, and even RH9, I would use a program called Gyach pY! Enhanced. It took a bit of tweaking but I got it running. I see it hasn't been updated much lately, and totally understandable since the creator is a very busy person. I have also noticed the spin off project of GyachI Enhanced or Gyachi for short, that came out of fellow developers and users who wanted to keep the title moving forward. Now, I've tried to install Gyachi onto my Fedora Core 6 system (x86_64 based), and I'm running into all sorts of issues. I've found an RPM for Fedora Core 6 - however its meant for i386 system. When I try to install it I get an error - of course, cause of depency issues not met because its looking for i386 libs. Okay thats fine, I download the source tar ball from source forge and try again. Hmmm now i'm getting errors in the tar ball saying I'm missing depencies... Following depencies are apparently not found: libgtkhtml-2.so.0 is needed by gyachi-1.0.5
libjasper-1.701.so.1 is needed by gyachi-1.0.5
libltdl.so.3 is needed by gyachi-1.0.5


How odd. I do a locate command for these files and find them listed in /usr/lib64 so I know the files exist...

Can anyone give me a hand or some direction in how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance!

You might try a link to /usr/lib. That is where 32bit libs are stored (were it is looking for them.

Thanks Lazlow, I thought that to so I tried last night before bed with: ln -s /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-2.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so.0. I dont think it worked. When I did another locate comand for the above file, it wasn't listed at all under /usr/lib and when I checked the dir with a filebrowser in gnome, it appeared that there were indeed something listed with that name there but it appeared defective or corrupt. Not sure why that would be either unless I typed something in wrong which is a good posibility lol

[lazlow]

It would take more disk space but you could try just copying (not moveing) the files.
