Installation problem.

[Ulixes]

I'm running SuSE 8.0 and trying to install Sketch from an RPM using KPackage. This is the error I get.

Found 0 source and 1 binary packages
Dependency Problem:
_imaging.so is needed by sketch-0.6.12-1
libBLT24.so is needed by sketch-0.6.12-1

I tried running some searches before posting, but I'm not even sure what I'm looking for.

Ususaly a search on rpmfind (http://rpmfind.net/) will locate the rpm you need.

You might want to check out Red Carpet (http://www.ximian.com/products/ximian_red_carpet/download.html) for software management. It has some mild relief from dependency heck :D

Thanks for the help. I got red carpet and installed it and can't find how to use it. I did find out what my original problem was...

I need Tcl/Tk installed. SuSE says it is installed, but the files I need aren't in my system. So I downloaded Tcl and well, I'm embarassed to say so, I can't run the install.sh. I tried running from the RunCommand window (alt-F2), clicking from Konqueror, and the command line and I can't actually get anything to happen. Do you have any idea why? It's not a binary, the install directions say simply to "run install.sh".

Also, is it a version issue why SuSE says it's installed and the files aren't there? Everything else on the CDs I bought had the most up to date software.

To use Red Carpet, you have to "subscribe" to a channel. Launch it from the menu or open an x term and command red-carpet.

After it loads the channel info, click on unsubscribed channels and select your distro's channel and any others you wish to use.

Now the Summary tells what needs updated, install and remove lets you do that.

To run a script, the script must be made executable by chmod 755 <filename>.

Assuming you are in the directory of the shell file, it is run by ./<filename> otherwise /path/to/scriptname

Thanks for the help. All that worked out great, but I'm having another problem with this program. I'll post it in another thread though, as the issue is different. Thanks again.
