Firefox 3.0 Odyssey
I'm running RH WS4: Linux version 2.6.9-5.ELsmp
My subscription ran out a few months ago...
Yesterday I downloaded FireFox 3.0 and immediately tripped-up on libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 not found. I never found an rpm specific to WS4; found a lot for fedora.
Instead decided to build it;
1. download cairo (don't forget pixman!)
2. ./configure first failed to find some pixman.pc files; kludge to PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable
3. ./configure can't find x11.pc - file nowhere to be found on system
4. ./configure complained/failed also because "requested PNG backend could not be found".
5. abandon building libpangocairo-1.0.so.0
6. found a pango rpm - pango-1.12.0-1.i386.rpm - that says it includes libpangocairo. rpm says:
failed dependencies:
cairo >= 0.9.2 is needed by pango-1.12.0-1.i386
glib2 >= 2.6.0-1 is needed by pango-1.12.0-1.i386
libX11 is needed by pango-1.12.0-1.i386
libXext is needed by pango-1.12.0-1.i386
libXft is needed by pango-1.12.0-1.i386
libXrender is needed by pango-1.12.0-1.i386
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by pango-1.12.0-1.i386
libcairo.so.2 is needed by pango-1.12.0-1.i386
8. found a cairo rpm. rpm says:
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by cairo-1.0.2-5.i386
9. found a GLIBC rpm. rpm says...
well, you get the picture.
Use yum, you say? OK, I did install yum, but I apparently have some python version madness. If I straighten that out, do you think yum will actually be able to install the pango-112.0-1.i386.rpm ?
Thanks,
