YaST2 installs libstdc++-devel from CD 3 without error but then I cannot find it
Last modified: 2005-11-28 11:37:15 UTC
I'm running SuSE 10.0 EVALUATION version, I'm logged in as Root and I am trying to compile Kaffeine 0.7.1 -When I try to run ./config for kaffeine 0.7.1 I receive an error stating that I cannot compile simple C++ programs and may need to install a package called libstdc++-dev or similar -I open YaST2 and search for libstdcc+-devel -Upon finding it I mark it with a check box -I check dependencies and receive "all package dependencies are OK" -I click on accept and I am prompted to put in CD3. I do this, the installation goes through without error and the SuSE profile files are all updated -I'm prompted for further installations, I choose "no" -I run the Kaffeine configure again and receive the same error -I open Kmenu->Find files/folders -I search for "Named: libstdc++-devel Look in: /" -It only finds a folder named libstdc++-devel located in /usr/share/doc/packages/ (When this failed to fix my problem the first time I tried getting libstdc++-devel via apt-get so this may be why there is folder called libstdc++-devel. When this still didn't resolve my problem I uninstalled it via YaST2 and then tried reinstalling via the CD again as mentioned above) -I reopen YaST2 and confirm that the following packages are installed: compat compat-libstdc++ libstdc++ libstdc++-devel -I reopen k menu->find files/folders Named: libstdc++* Look in: / -I find the libstdc++.so.6 in /usr/lib -I only find libstdc++-devel folder but not the libstdc++-devel file itself Am I misundertanding something? I also included extra library paths in the kaffeine ./configure command so that it would see the /usr/lib/ and /usr/share/doc/packages/ directories (though I doubt the latter one would help). I still receive the same error message when I run ./configure in Kaffeine In summary, is YaST2 not loading the libstdc++-devel library? If I look in YaST2 it says in the "technical data" that its installed and in the "dependencies" that it provides libstdc++-devel but as I've mentioned above I cannot find this file when I search using "Named: libstdc++* Look in: /" Is libstdc++-devel not a file?
What does 'rpm -q libstdc++-devel' report on your system ? What does 'uname -a' report ? This looks like an error of the 'configure' script coming with kaffeine in finding the libstdc++ library. Btw, "libstdc++-devel" is just a package name so you cant find it via kmenu->find. If you want to know the files inside this package, run "rpm -ql libstdc++-devel".
