Installing Java??

**Spatcher** · 09-08-2005, 05:55 PM

When trying to install Java, I get the error that libstdc++.so.6, libc.so.6, libgcc_s.so.1, and libm.so.6 are needed......

Also when I went to Sysinfo, to get the program sysinfo, I found these things I needed, and downloaded all of the required things etc....
When I double click on the gtkmm, libsigc++ , glibmm, and libglademm it won't install them. It says "packagename" needed for installation, but the package names are what I'm trying to install....

You need to install glibc (for libc.so.6 and libm.so.6), libstdc++ and libgcc.

For the installations I recommend using yum (assuming this is your Fedora box).

As root

Code:

yum install glibc libstdc++ libgcc gtkmm libsigc++ glibmm libglademm

actually, if you do just yum install java it should install all those other things that it needs...

Thanks for the help but, I got this error:

Code:

# yum install glibc libstdc++ libgcc gtkmm libsigc++ glibmm libglademm

EDIT: Btw, this is a fresh install, should I configure yum?

I don't think you would need to configure yum. Each distribution should have their own servers already in /etc/yum.conf. However, you can add more servers to the list that will be checked.

I checked the sysinfo site and it has the dependencies at the bottom of the download page. You can get all of the packages needed from Fedora extras (there's a link from the sysinfo download page). It says to run 'yum install gtkmm24 libglademm24'.

Thanks shuuhen; I finally installed those programs after mind wrecking playing, but I get an error when trying to install sysinfo.

Code:

$ rpm -ivh sysinfo-0.6.1-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libexpat.so.1 is needed by sysinfo-0.6.1-2.i386

I can't find it anywhere!!!! And yum install sysinfo won't work

shuuhen · 09-10-2005, 02:18 PM

I think you can get libexpat from the expat package. I got freevo_runtime from a search for libexpat.so.1 on rpmfind.net, so you might want to try that if expat doesn't work.

**Spatcher** · 09-10-2005, 02:51 PM

Ok, I didn't think that that was the right package, so I didn't ty it. Will do now...

**Spatcher** · 09-10-2005, 03:17 PM

Thanks for helping shuuhen but, it said (when I tried to run sysinfo) that I was missing a glade package or whatnot..... What really surprises me is that this is my third install of fc3 on this comp, and the first tim it worked perfectly, and I did the latest 2 installs this week...

I'll just forget about it
