Hello
I was just trying to install the latest AbiWord
abiword-gnome-bidi-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm since I needed to write in Japanese.
Besides, the currently installed abiword-0.7.14-7 in my Red Hat Linux
7.2 has
recently had a strange tendency of starting automatically at every boot
time although I did
not set up anything related to this; so I wanted to replace it with the
latest, expecting that the installation would be a piece of cake even
for persons
with little knowledge of computer science. But I got the complaint:
[root@localhost AbiWord]# rpm -Uvh abiword-gnome-bidi-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
abiword-fonts is needed by abiword-1.0.3-1
libgal.so.19 is needed by abiword-1.0.3-1
And I could not find these abiword-fonts and libgal.so.19 but
libgal19-0.19-2.i386.rpm
as the closest one to libgal.so.19. The installation of this package has
been
also incomplete:
[root@localhost RHL]# rpm -Uvh libgal19-0.19-2.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
gal >= 0.19 is needed by libgal19-0.19-2
This sequence of dependency, even if I could handle, seems going on and
on forever.
So my conclusion is that I have been doing something wrong because the
installation of
AbiWord should not be that complicated. Would anyone please tell me what
I am missing
here?
Regards,
Gilbert
