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.

Hi Patrick,

packages are maintained by groups/individuals who are not necessarily affiliated with Red Hat or the Fedora project itself. If they decide to stop supporting a package, then that package will most  likely be dropped from the repository for the next Fedora release. 

I looked into your problem with Scidavis, and managed to solve it like this:

1. Fetch and install the muParser-1.32 (1.34 causes Scidavis to crash) from here:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17343337/dir/fedora_16/com/muParser-1.32-2.fc15.x86_64.rpm.html

2. Fetch the last available RPM for Scidavis here:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/15927176/dir/fedora_15/com/scidavis-0.2.4-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm.html  

Install both packages (in the same order you downloaded them) by using yum localinstall <package_name>. 

Worked on my machine at least...I am running F17 but I can't imagine you would have trouble on F18.
