I am having a similar issue. Basically I have a package which is
being built on an installation (redhat 7.1) that has older
versions of tcl and tk (tcl-8.3.3, tk-8.3.3).
Even though the package will run fine with the newer versions of tcl
tk and tix on Redhat Enterprise 3.0, it fails to install without
checking for dependencies (rpm install only works with --nodeps).
So, I have control of the creation of this RPMpackage I want to
install, and from this second solution mentioned above I tend to think
that this can be achieved by specifying something in the packages spec
file. Do you have some tips on how this can be made?
I have tried adding a line such as to the package's spec:
Requires: tk >= 8.3, tcl >= 8.3, tix >= 4.1
When I am installing the new package I receive this kind of error:
[root@localhost]# rpm -Uvh SABER-App-3.2-1.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libtcl.so.0 is needed by SABER-App-3.2-1
libtix.so is needed by SABER-App-3.2-1
libtk.so.0 is needed by SABER-App-3.2-1
The really bizarre part is actually libtix.so is on this system and is
owned by the tix-8.1 package. However, even with the spec file saying to
accept tix >= 4.1 - the libraries are getting the dependence on the
particular libtix.so belonging to the antiquated tix-4.1...
This is pretty frustrating, and it seems the only choice is to turn
off the Autoreq: in the spec or to just install with the '--nodeps'
flag. Both options, of course, seem bad and extreme.
Is there an easy answer to this or a link to get me going? I realize
I should be reading more to find the answer myself but I'm on a
limited schedule for this.
Thanks for any tips,
