Re: [Gretl-users] Problem updating from cvs in Fedora 8

Allin I was interrupted as I was sending the original version of this email and it appears that I did not send the message that I intended to send. Apologies if a duplicate or partial duplicate has already been sent Thank you for your help. 'make clean' solved the problem with the cvs update. I will maintain Gretl in this way in future. I have also looked at the rpm dependencies problem. When I try to us rpm I get the following messages. I have tried both the current version (1.7.7) and the earlier version (1.7.1) that I first tried. The output is below. [root@localhost gretl]# rpm -U gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libblas.so is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586 libgfortran.so.3 is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586 liblapack.so is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586 libpixman-1.so.0 is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586 [root@localhost gretl]# rpm -U gretl-1.7.1-1gtk2.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libreadline.so.4 is needed by gretl-1.7.1-1gtk2.i586 If I use rpm to query the versions installed I get [frainj@localhost ~]$ rpm -q readline readline-5.2-10.fc8 [frainj@localhost ~]$ rpm -q blas blas-3.1.1-4.fc8 [frainj@localhost ~]$ rpm -q libgfortran libgfortran-4.1.2-33 [frainj@localhost ~]$ rpm -q lapack lapack-3.1.1-4.fc8 I do have both the dev and run-time packages installed for each of these (except libgfortran - I presume that this is handled in GCC).
