Re: [Swarm-Support] can't install libswarm-dev

[David Camacho]

Dear Paul,

Many thanks for all this.

Now I am able to install swarm, compile and run the demo applications.

However, what for me worked was an additional little trick.

I did what follows, on two different computers, both with a fresh installed Ubuntu 11.04 64bits

In order to install the four libraries described by you below, I need to to install their dependencies (libpng, libxpm etc) and specially for libswarm-dev, I needed blt-dev. Therefore I installed this first, and then I could start it replacement by your version of blt.

Howver, now this blt version is conflicting with blt-dev and ALL the time, when I try to actualise my system it tries to remove libwsarm-dev and blt-dev

Here is what I got:

" address@hidden:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 blt-dev : Depends: blt (= 2.4z-4.2ubuntu1) but 2.4z-5 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. "

And if I try what it recomends:

" address@hidden:~$ sudo apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  blt-dev libswarm-dev
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 16.8 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.   "

What would you recommend in order to actualise the system, and or, install new packages?

regards,

David

Right now I'm running Debian 6+, but I think I can still see what works.  I needed to use synaptic to make sure I had
tcl8.5-dev.

Then:


address@hidden:blt-lucid$ sudo dpkg -i blt-dev_2.4z-5_amd64.deb  blt_2.4z-5_amd64.deb
Selecting previously deselected package blt-dev.

Then:

$ sudo dpkg -i libswarm0_2.4.0-1_amd64.deb
Selecting previously deselected package libswarm0.
(Reading database ... 228562 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libswarm0 (from libswarm0_2.4.0-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libswarm0:
libswarm0 depends on libhdf5-serial-1.8.4 | libhdf5-1.8.4; however:
  Package libhdf5-serial-1.8.4 is not installed.
  Package libhdf5-1.8.4 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing libswarm0 (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
libswarm0

Bummer, my system is a mix of Debian unstable and testing and stable.  So I have to fiddle around in synaptic a while,
to get installs of




After that

$ sudo dpkg -i libswarm0_2.4.0-1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 228729 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libswarm0 2.4.0-1 (using libswarm0_2.4.0-1_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libswarm0 ...

I'm feeling optimistic. But then:

$ sudo dpkg -i libswarm-dev_2.4.0-1_amd64.deb
[sudo] password for pauljohn:

THat sends me down a long path, trying to get an internally coherent set of gcc and libobjc packages.



address@hidden:tmp$ sudo dpkg -i libswarm-dev_2.4.0-1_amd64.deb

(Reading database ... 228779 files and directories currently installed.)

At this moment, i'm stuck on a difference in the way they packaged objective C.  I do have 'gobjc-4.4' installed, but
that doesn't make my deb for swarm happy, it is looking just for 'gobjc'

I don't know who ever said that Debian usage prevents membership in the "Dependency Hell" club, but that guy was wrong.
Back to more fiddling. Another trip to the random repository choosing lottery, I have gobjc installed, and:


$ sudo dpkg -i libswarm-dev_2.4.0-1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 229083 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libswarm-dev 2.4.0-1 (using libswarm-dev_2.4.0-1_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libswarm-dev ...
Setting up libswarm-dev (2.4.0-1) ...


That's encouraging.

And it compiles and runs!  Look here I am in heatbugs
