autopackage install on fedora 8 64 bit problems

Postby mooseydoom » Thu Nov 20, 2008 8:24 am

I used the autopackage install of inkscape (inkscape20080507rev18560AOCV.package) on a 64 bit Fedora 8 machine. First I was getting shared library errors, which I was able to fix by installing the 32 bit i386 library versions.

Code: Select all

$ inkscape
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ locate libgtkmm
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1
/usr/lib64/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1
/usr/lib64/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1.0.30

$ sudo yum install gtkmm24.i386

$ inkscape
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libgc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ sudo yum install gc.i386

$ inkscape
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ sudo yum install poppler.i386

But now I get an error about an undefined symbol.

Code: Select all

$ inkscape
inkscape: symbol lookup error: inkscape: undefined symbol: g_dpgettext

According to this opensuse post inkscape requires glib2 version 2.16, whereas Fedora 8 only provides 2.14. Looks like Fedora 9 has an updated glib2 version 2.16. Perhaps it's time for me to upgrade...

If i should change over from Ubuntu to Fedora what changes should i expect? For starters i am relatively new to Linux but have found Ubuntu to be great. I would like to experiment with different distros. If i were to change over to Fedora what changes should i expect? They both use Gnome and im assuming most of the packages are the same? So what are the real differences between the packages and are there any reasons i should/should not change over?
