Re: [Xlog-discussion] Installing XLog on Mandrake 9.2

[w9ya]

Hey Doug;

Most likely there is something wrong with one or more of the Mandrake 
packages. I sell Mandrake and it is goofy as of late in areas such as this. 
Also for the arch-linux distro I package both hamlibs and xlog and I did not 
have a problem with doing this at all like what you are seeing. I used the 
(already) packaged expat-1.95.7, which does NOT supply a libexpat.so.1 per 
say. (It supplies a /usr/lib/libexpat.so..0  ->  Which is, as you might 
suspect, a symlink to /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0.)

So.....I would suggest you make a symlink from the missing libexpat.so.1 to 
what is actually extent from the installed libexpat package you already have 
and see if that might work.

Something similar might have to be done for the hamlib issue as well.

I said earlier that these kind of things are starting to happen alot with 
Mandrake, which is very sad. The good side of things, is that there are LOTS 
of other good distros to choose from. (I use 6 different distros myself for 
the six machines in my office.....hi hi, and among them is Mandrake, although 
I am not sure for how much longer I will be doing that).

Oh yeah, one last thought; You ARE using mdk.rpms right ? Um, maybe this 
should have been the very first question, as Mandrake has long since usually 
needed rpms made just for it, and not those for suse or red hat/fedora rpms.
