problem with frostwire

angelbeast · #1 12th November 2008, 11:17 AM

I seem to be having some trouble starting Frostwire. I have java installed. I even tried to run it from the terminal. Here was the output.

Hi angelbeast. I was playing around with FrostWire for a while when I was running Fedora 8 and Fedora 9. I got the same error that you are getting. Here's a link to my wiki page containing notes on how I got it working.

Hey there! Thanks so much. I'm on my way to look right now

angelbeast · #4 12th November 2008, 11:34 AM

no luck *LOL* ... i tried installing the two packages and those didn't work and i have only one java source listed

[root@localhost ~]# /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java

There is 1 program that provides 'java'.

Selection Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:

When I ran it using sudo it ran. I got the GUI for the first time setup and was able to work though that and get to the FrostWire desktop program. In other words, it ran without error. A ton of normal output in the terminal though.

***Dangermouse*** · #10 12th November 2008, 12:52 PM

Have you installed all the dependencies
http://dnmouse.org/frostwire.html

***glennzo*** · #11 12th November 2008, 12:58 PM

Good morning Dangermouse. Nice job, as usual! I ran sudo yum -y install libXp.i386 compat-libstdc++-33 compat-libstdc++-296 wget lesstif.i386 libXtst.i386 and frostwire ran flawlessly as regular user. angelbeast should get the same results.

angelbeast · #12 12th November 2008, 01:18 PM

That worked...Thanks guys...

Okay so at the risk of sounding dumb *LOL* ... How do you tell what dependencies things need?

***glennzo*** · #13 12th November 2008, 01:26 PM

For FrostWire you would have to check their web site to see if they tell you what is needed to install and run the program since it's not installable through yum. Using my favorite card game, PySol as an example you would type
yum deplist PySolFC
and get this result

A lot of dependencies for that game. Fortunately yum install PySolFC brings all dependencies with it. It never used to though so I kept notes on installing the game for Fedora 8 and earlier reminding myself that those dependencies were needed if I wanted to get it working.

angelbeast · #14 12th November 2008, 01:31 PM

ahhhh...i see now....that and compiling still give me some grief but one day i will get it *LOL*

***glennzo*** · #15 12th November 2008, 01:39 PM

If I'm not mistaken, compiling your own programs from source requires at a minimum things like Development Tools, kernel-devel and kernel-headers.Once those are install the compile works a lot better. This from a compiling "rookie" viewpoint. I don't do that too often.
