Did NVIDIA v1.0-4349 break the dependencies requirement for xawtv?

[ant]

Hi. I am trying to install the latest version of xawtv (v3.85; .rpm and .src.rpm) from rpmfind.net for my Red Hat Linux 7.2 box. A few days ago, I downloaded the newest NVIDIA driver from http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_ia32_1.0-4349 ... Today, I tried to install xawtv v3.86 .


[root@ANTux-AXP i386]# ls -all

[root@ANTux-AXP i386]# rpm -ivh *
error: failed dependencies: libGLcore.so.1 is needed by xawtv-3.85-1


I looked for libGLcore.so.1 on rpmfind.net and it is from old NVIDIA video driver package. It seems like the latest NVIDIA driver doesn't have this file/library anymore.
How do I install it? I can't even install an older version of xawtv (v3.81) that did work before I uninstalled it. Same error.

Thank you in advance. :)

No, the package has a libGLcore.so.1 file. It should be in /usr/lib -- take a look.

has the location of the lib moved ??

anyway an ldconfig should do the trick :)

/sbin/ldconfig didn't help.

[root@ANTux-AXP i386]# ls /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1
/usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 (it's there)

Then why can't I install the RPM file from .src.rpm rebuild)? :(

Did anyone try it?

[bwkaz]

No, I didn't try it, RPMs are seriously broken in my opinion; I will not use them.

Might it be that the package you're installing is looking for libGLcore.so.1 in your RPM database, rather than (as would be correct) actually on your filesystem?

I just tried compiling from the .tar.gz and it worked! Hmm. I guess this will do instead of rpm. I like rpm because package management. :)
