hi forum : )

I'm new to linux... i hope you could help me.. I'm installing a wvdial-1.53-1.1686.rpm but i get the error failed dependencies. where could i find that complete specific package where it has the following:
libcrypto.so.0.9.61
libssl.so.0.9.6.1
libstdc++.so.2.10
libwvstreams.so.3.7
libwvutils.so.3.7

I'm using openna linux (RC1) please help.. any advice?? thank you for your time..

Looks like you need the openssl libs, as well as maybe the wvstreams libs... (starting with 1.50 and up, you must have this package).

You can get it here...
http://open.nit.ca/wvstreams/

As for OpenSSL, go here...
http://www.openssl.org/

Good luck. :)

hi : )
thank you very for your time my friend.. I'll be trying those sites, I'm using an openna distribution, maybe the redhat 7.2 package of wvstreams would work.. ( i hope.. :confused:

thank you very much.. i'll post here with further more problems..


P.S.
I got a wvstreams for an i386 architecture... opena linux wont accept that installation bec. it has i686 arch...any advise, ideas??

[Diji]

The i386 package should work... should being the oppritive word.

If it doesn't, might be worth downloading the source and compiling it. Compiling it is not terribly hard... just follow the directions in the README or INSTALL files, and if you run into problems, log it and post it here... chances are someone can help.

Good luck my friend.

hi : (

redhat i386 didn't work... wvdial need ppp and wvstreams. i successfully installed ppp but no to wvstreams.. so wvstreams requires openssl to produce libfiles. i got openssl-0.9.7a.tar.gz for web so what i did after tar xzpf and cd....

sed 's/^passwd/openssl-passwd/' doc/apps/passwd.pod \
> doc/apps/openssl-passwd.pod &&
rm doc/apps/passwd.pod &&
./Configure linux-elf --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared &&
make MANDIR=/usr/share/man &&
make MANDIR=/usr/share/man install &&
rmdir /etc/ssl/lib

but i get the errors saying sed can't read doc/apps/passwd.pod
and openssl-passwd.po..

what should i do? pls help..

[Diji]

Hmmm.... is the stuff you posted what you typed in, or an excerpt from the ./configure output?

If its from what you typed, it looks like the file was created and then deleted... which makes no sense.

If its from the script output... then it makes less sense.

You might try saving a log of the terminal session where you try the configure and compile script, and then attach it here. I am still learning all of this, so I may or may not be able to help; but someone else may know the answer.

Good luck.
