| 31768 | 2002-01-18 04:30:00 | Hi, I am on a mission to install wine (a program to run win32 apps under linux). In the process of installing all the dependancies I came across the need to install OpenGL. It's files are made up of OpenGL-core, and OpenGL-libs. OpenGL-libs needs the core. The core needs XFree86-libs of the same version. I have version 4.1.0-21mdk of XFree86-libs, and only version 4.1.0-14 are available for the OpenGL components. When I install the Core of OpenGL it conflicts with just about every file in the XFree86-libs package. In order to get around this, I installed XFree86-libs-4.1.0-14 (the older version) using the command: rpm -ivh --force XFree86-libs-4.1.0-14.i386.rpm This worked fine, so I tried to install the Core again. It now says: file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of XFree86-OpenGL-core-4.1.0-14 conflicts with file from package XFree86-libs-4.1.0-21mdk file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of XFree86-OpenGL-core-4.1.0-14 conflicts with file from package XFree86-libs-4.1.0-21mdk file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of XFree86-OpenGL-core-4.1.0-14 conflicts with file from package XFree86-libs-4.1.0-21mdk Yeah, that is the same thing printed 2 times over...that's what it did. Why does it say it conflicts with packages from -21mdk, I thought I wiped that by installing -14 over the top??? how do I get the core to install? Thanks in advance Erin |

The library files tend not to be removed, when new ones are installed. The system always uses the same names for each library, however much the versions change. The names are links to the actual files. You will see that if you do 'ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib'. If you log out of the GUI, and do 'init 1', that will put you into singleuser mode, and will be able to live dangerously. You, with legs and fingers crossed, could 'cd /usr/X11R6', 'mkdir savelib', 'cp lib/* savelib/', 'cd lib', and then 'rm' the mdk files and the links. You could then try reloading the GL packages. This won't crash, becasue you won't be using these libraries. Then restart into the GUI. If it still works, you have succeeded. If not, reboot to single user (LILO boot: 'linux 1', and go back and 'mv' the files from savelib into lib. Is there a website focussed on wine? Could be worth a look. |
