Hello:
I continually get a postage stamp-sized "unknown error" GUI when I try to
use synaptic. Has never run, for me. I need to get better information on
and access to -- through synaptic, I hope -- dependencies and much easier
resolutions; especially so I can install the open source notation editor
music composition software, Rosegarden, MuseScore and CSound5.
Mu operating system is RHEL 5.4 (with RedHat Network management.)
Using google.com/linux presents me with a maze of off-topic pages, no
matter what search terms I have used, at least so far. Finding this
mailing list is as close as I've come to finding a solution to installing
such that it functions.
I have tried to add or change, hopefully in the right files, the correct
path as indicated in the ReadMe and other docs; since the PATH had been
'hard-wired', according to these docs. No change. Admittedly, I am not
actually sure I found the correct .config files, as I never saw any such
hard-wired path. I tried adding my PATH=/ and a PROGRAM=/ to the
synaptic.desktop and synaptic-kde.desktop, but this did not help.
[Used: synaptic_0.57.2-6.el5 for x86_64 bit rpm just reinstalled using
yum reinstall, after rpm --rebuilddb -- didn't help.]
Months of perpetual and recursively propagating missing dependencies.
Can't seem to find -- usually library files or drivers -- these using
yum or RedHat Network for the software I need to install; but I also
can't install synaptic to help with that.
Is there a solution that is well and frequently asked for -- or can you,
please, give a reference or resource I can look into? It would be much
appreciated, either way.
