RE: After Installation of CentOS 5.1 upgraded to 5.2

[houstonpcguy]

Hello,

I am relatively still new to all this and I am following the CentOS 5.1 Desktop guide and I am having a problem after installing everything I get to the Audacity install and I get the following error:

Missing Dependency: libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0 is needed by package audacity
Missing Dependency: libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0 is needed by package audacity
Missing Dependency: libwx_gtk2u_html-2.6.so.0(WXU_2.6) is needed by package audacity

Missing Dependency: libwx_baseu_xml-2.6.so.0 is needed by package audacity

I have made sure the wxGTK and wxGTK-Developement packages were installed yet I still get this error.

Does anyone have a clue to this problem and how I can fix it please?

Thanks,

What's the output of
updatedb
locate libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so?

[houstonpcguy]

What's the output of
updatedb
locate libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so?

Hey Falko,

How are ya?

Nothing the updatedb does update but the locate libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so produces nothing blank line comes back after issuing that command.



Thanks,

[houstonpcguy]

What's the output of
updatedb
locate libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so?

Hey Falko,

I got this by running "rpm -qa | grep wxGTK"

wxGTK-2.8.8-1.el5.rf
wxGTK-devel-2.8.8-1.el5.rf

Just to show it is installed,

Thanks Again,

Ok, you've got the 2.8 version installed, while audacity is looking for the 2.6 version.
Are you trying to install the latest version of audacity, or is your CentOS 5.2 trying to install the version for CentOS 5.1?

What you can try is symlinking each needed file, like this:
ln -s /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0

This does NOT work. audacity does a run time check to see if the libraries are the correct version. Setting up all of the sym links just gets you:
[dave@bend ~]# audacity
audacity: /usr/lib64/libwx_gtk2u_html-2.6.so.0: version `WXU_2.6' not found (required by audacity)
audacity: /usr/lib64/libwx_baseu_net-2.6.so.0: version `WXU_2.6' not found (required by audacity)
audacity: /usr/lib64/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0: version `WXU_2.6.2' not found (required by audacity)
audacity: /usr/lib64/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0: version `WXU_2.6' not found (required by audacity)
audacity: /usr/lib64/libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0: version `WXU_2.6' not found (required by audacity)

Anyone have a solution that works?

Thanks,

OK. I've got audacity running on CentOS 5.2. This is what I ended up doing. I pulled down an older copy of wxGTK from http://rpmfind.net. The copy of 2.6 they had for RHEL/CentOS 5 was 2.6.3-1. I then installed the older version wxGTK and audacity-1.30b-1 using rpm.

This got audacity running but now yum barfs because it wants to update wxGTK to 2.8 but can't since then audacity fails dependencies. I like to run yum updates from the command line anyway so I use:

yum --exclude wxGTK update

which then works just fine. If a version of audacity comes out that works with wxGTK 2.8, I won't need to exclude wxGTK. I'll write up what I did in more detail on my blog at http://davenjudy.org/davesBlog within the next few days.

Cheers,
Dave

.

yum --exclude wxGTK update



You can also add this to your yum.conf file so you don't have to remember to do this each time.

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/redhat-centos-linux-yum-update-exclude-packages/I figured I'd wait until I see what comes out in 5.3. That and I have a bad habit of changing config files and thinking, "I'll remember that," only to promptly forget. If nothing smooths out with 5.3 then it will probably go into the config file. Thanks for the tip.
