Hello,
I received comments about installing packages not built for fedora.
Is it an acceptable comment?
Example.
I would like to install scidavis. Unfortunately, yum install scidavis
fails: No package scidavis available
What are the other options?
1) scidavis is available for fedora 14 (and 15?), but not for newest versions:
fedora 16 shown up last year!
2) try to find a binary distribution for linux, like
scidavis-0.2.4-linux-x86-qt4.4-py2.5.tar.bz2
supposed to work opn fedora:
(see http://scidavis.sourceforge.net/download.html).
but then:
./scidavis: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.5.so.1.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
fedora 18 provides: libpython2.7.so.1.0.
3) from the sources: scidavis-0.2.4.tar.bz2
but the compilation fails:
cd scidavis/ && make -f Makefile

while qwt_plot.h is in /usr/include/qwt/qwt_plot.h or
/usr/include/qwt5-qt4/qwt_plot.h
My impression is that people should make some efforts to offer only a
few numbers of distributions
and collaborate to offer a nice and polished distribution!
Do not insult me for my point of view.
Regards.
