Hi. I have moved to Redhat 9.0 from PCQ Linux 2004.
I prefer the gaim that came witn pcqlinux as it allowed to me to log on to msn seamlessly.
I then tried to install the rpm from the PCQ CD gaim-0.71-2.i386.rpm but it gave me the following error message:
Failed dependencies: libaspell.so.15 is needed by gaim-0.71-2 libgtkspell.so.0 is needed by gaim-0.71-2
then i downloaded the gaim which supports msn but i got the same error message as above.
Any hints?
Also downloaded amsn but it asks for the tls1 path to be specified in preference, which i did not it still does not start up (continues to show the popup window to select the system arch and download the tls1 files.)
abhi
[...]
Failed dependencies: libaspell.so.15 is needed by gaim-0.71-2 libgtkspell.so.0 is needed by gaim-0.71-2
I believe you need to install those RPM's first that would give you those libraries.
Better , you have other system where this is working fine,find out from which those files/libs,ie "libgtkspell.so.0" "libaspell.so.15" came from
Ex:
On my Redhat-8 box, 1)
# whereis libaspell.so.15 libaspell.so: /usr/lib/libaspell.so.10
# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libaspell.so.10 aspell-0.33.7.1-16
<<so u need to install RPM 'aspell-0.33.7.1-16'

Compiling from source is not that bad option either.
Also try ayttm and kopete.

Prolly not, but then GNUs ./configure etc are quite intelligent tools. It will first try to compile gaim without the support of aspell for example and only if Gaim author had decided they cant allow that, it will suggest the libraries to be installed. As against RPM which is much more strict, and the users system must match with that of who created them. In a few cases I have found snipping the section that searched for something from ./configure or "touch /usr/lib/libxyz.so" useful, which RPM may not allow.
Download gaim-0.76-0.src.rpm from given url.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235
install the rpm.
rpm -ivh gaim-0.76-0.src.rpm
Go to following directory.
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
build the rpm package for ur specific enviornment.
rpmbuild -ba gaim.spec
Once the RPM is ready , u can install it.
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/gaim-0.76-0.i386.rpm

I don't think this will work without the libs that that showed the dependencies !!
$rpmbuild -ba gaim.spec Will say the same !!

Yes,ofcourse the basic has to be set up by him. but then in terms of dependencies its not just the gtkspell. Its all of these.
Requires: gtk2 >= 2.0.0, mozilla-nss, gtkspell, audiofile, libao BuildRequires: libao-devel, gtk2-devel, gtkspell-devel, libtool, audiofile-devel, pkgconfig, mozil la-nss-devel

0. Try an rpm -ivh --nodeps (installs without giving dependencies much thought)
1. Find out how you can satisfy the missing dependencies by installing the missing packages.
2. Try ayttm instead. When it comes to multi-functional IM client, ayttm creams everyone else.

Hi Abhi
I know there's lots been said on this thread to help you with the problem but what I'm going to suggest is completely off ....
Move to Debian because of apt-get....
I had similar problems that you faced with packages on redhat, but ever since I switched to Debian (Knoppix) using apt-get was the biggest reason I stayed. It's great.
Although apt-get is available on Redhat, the number of apt repositories don't match the number of packages stored on debian mirrors...
Those are just my two bits ... Hope I don't start a war by posting this solution since I'm sure there are a lot of Redhat / RPM fans here. ;-)
Regards
Rishi
P.S. I don't have anything against rpm or Redhat...
Hi all, I have two harddisks ,one with ntfs OS and other with RH 9.0.I tried to run windows applications on ntfs Hard disk using wine but it doesn't seem to work.
Is there any additional configuration needed? Thanx in advance, Ganadeva B

ntfs partition is not supported by RH9.0 by default ... you have to recompile the kernel with ntfs support and or install the moudle for that (not sure how to)

What advantage you feel/get by running a win application thru GNU/Linux. Most of the general purpose softwares are in GNU world. Why can't you use the native tools. Or is it a specific application which you have no alternative in GNU world. Then you have 2 choices
1. write your own program to do the task Or hire somebody to do this 2. stick to the win world itself
My 2 paisa. YMMV.

Hi rishi, interesting suggestion. But no, i think i will stick to redhat for a variety of reasons. Comfort level and popularity (hence larger support base) being primary.
Also, the idea is to try and solve the problem rather than work around it and installing an entire OS for something like an IM would be overkill.
But I still appreciate your help. Its just that its not the option right now.

HTH With regards,
hi. i gave the wrong log files in error.. i saw this too and ran it as root.
i have got into a cyclical trap with this where i cannot install a higher version of X unless i uninstall the lower version, which i cannot as that is locked by other dependencies.
But thanks for the help. will step away from this problem for a while and then retry..

Greetings,
Wondering, the last error you got was saying that cant get exclusive lock on the database, that is because you are not root. Try to install aspell and aspell-en as a single command e.g. rpm -ivh aspell.... aspell-en.....

Greetings,
Also I guess, you should prefer amsn (http://amsn.sf.net) or yahoo messenger (http://messenger.yahoo.com -> Unix link on the left of the page), they are much more like the windows messengers.
