Trying to install gpredict, libraries missing

Message

Hetejas · #1 Post by **Hetejas** » Tue 12 May 2020, 13:57

from the repository and I get an error with a lot of text which basically says that these packages are not available.
libgoocanvas3_0.15-1_i386.deb and
libgoocanvas-common_0.15-1_all.deb

Any idea how I can solve this ?

thanks

Xenial 32, correct? Have you tried a different repo when directing PPM where to search?

Ah, Tahr32!

Gpredict >> Real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application.

Thank you but how do I use Tahr32 and yes I have tried the other repos.

Are you suggesting you've updated PPM and it's not connecting to Ubuntu repos?

Hetejas, is this Tahr 6.0.5 or 6.0.6?

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/p ... 2_i386.deb

I didn't either -- initially. In order to get Tahr's repos working again the solution was twofold. It involves editing /root/.packages/DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS in your home directory and the upgrade of a few web-centric protocols.

If you need details, tell me on your end whether PPM successfully updates.

Thanks again.

PPM was successful.
I dont know how to see the version number of a repository.
I tried installing via the link you provided and it seemed to install ok. There is an entry in the Personal items, but I have been unsuccessful in getting it to execute. When I click on it, nothing happens.
Still working on it.

I got this error when executing from the terminal.
===========================================
gpredict
gpredict: error while loading shared libraries: libgoocanvas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
root# pfind
===============================
looks like I need that library entry. Would it make sense to go looking for it ?

Here, update this, "enter" for all and tell me whether or not it gets to where it has to "process" the database files.

I'm looking for an answer from you..

Sorry I missed your other post. My bad. Gimme a sec...

Semme · #12 Post by **Semme** » Thu 14 May 2020, 13:19

Setup PPM like this, close/reopen and look for gpredict again.

The third screenshot shows your search results with *most,* if not, *ALL* dependencies required by your pkg.

Guessing you've had the "auto-install >> DO IT!" setup, you'd have missed this info.

I didnt do any editing of this file as its not clear what I have to do to it.

Hetejas · #15 Post by **Hetejas** » Thu 14 May 2020, 13:58

I am working on getting the ubuntu trusty repositories in.
This is my 1st time doing this so it will take a while.
It looks like it involves editing 2 files so here goes.

Semme · #16 Post by **Semme** » Thu 14 May 2020, 14:02

I didn't instruct you on editing anything -- yet.

Look for the one or two packages you're missing and confirm one way or another if PPM makes them available.

Hetejas · #17 Post by **Hetejas** » Thu 14 May 2020, 14:35

Semme, this is getting to be too difficult and time consuming and with a potential for damage when I get something wrong.
The bit about adding a repository is taking a lot of reading, etc.
Does there happen to be a package that will let me easily add a repo ?

I have tried Slax linux and the gpredict program ran flawlessly.
So, I am going to switch over to it. Thanks again for your efforts, and if you know of a repository adding program and can point me to it within the next 30 minutes, I will give it a try.
Otherwise I will have to say goodbye to Xenial puppy. Sobbbb !! What a shame.

@ Hetejas:-

Just FYI, gpredict installs into, and runs flawlessly from, radky's DPup 'Stretch' 7.5. Thought you might like to know.

Mike.

I apologize if I misread your instructions. This one sounded like you wanted me to edit those files. YIKES !! But all turned out ok.

Code: Select all
