Hey Y'all,I'm having a problem installing a package with rpm. rpm is telling me that I need some dependencies that I already have. Here's what I get:[root@mushroom Desktop]# rpm -ivh graphiteone-* error: Failed dependencies: libGLU.so.1 is needed by graphiteone-libs-1.3-1.i586 libstdc++.so.5 is needed by graphiteone-libs-1.3-1.i586 libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by graphiteone-libs-1.3-1.i586 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by graphiteone-libs-1.3-1.i586libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.2) is needed by graphiteone-libs-1.3-1.i586[root@mushroom Desktop]# [mlapier@mushroom lib]$ pwd /usr/lib [mlapier@mushroom lib]$ ls | grep GL libGL.so libGL.so.1 libGL.so.1.2 [mlapier@mushroom lib]$ ls | grep libstdc
What ls tells you is completely and utterly irrelevant. If you did not install a library via RPM, then RPM doesn't know anything about it. The correct way to check a given dependency would be:
$ rpm -q --whatprovides 'libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2)' no package provides libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) That's the answer you get on Fedora 8.
How can I resolve this?
Always use rpm to install packages. Do not manually compile and install anything yourself. Those graphiteone rpms are probably built for a different Linux distro, and not your version of Fedora. You cannot fix this by manually hacking things around, randomly.
To clean up your system and make it stable again: * Remove everything you've installed manually * Prepare and install rpm packages for everything that you want to installBasically, once you've compiled and installed something manually, on a rpm-based Linux distribution (not just Fedora), you no longer have all of your software dependencies tracked by rpm, and you can no longer use rpm to manage your system.
