[Etherape-users] Re: etherape 0.5.7 rpm

[Juan T. <to...@us...>]

Both problems probably relate to the fact that I am building the rpm
packages in my Debian machine, and I can't even test them afterwards.

Both dpkg and rpm create dependencies automatically checking the libraries
to which the final binary is linked to. That is probably why you are seing
alsa as a requirement, since that is what I have installed on my machine.

The db2 requirement I am a bit more surprised about. My own compilation
failed to complete until I had it installed, and I assure you I don't use
any function from that library directly. I guess it is a new gnome
dependency, but the autoconf macros have not updated to reflect the fact.

Perhaps if I installed db3 installed of db2? Is the third version standard
on Redhat installations?

In any case, the proper solution to the problem would be to "outsource"
redhat packages creation, since my machine is probably not the best place to
do those

Regards,
Juan.
