Yellow Dog Linux

Hey. I downloaded Code::Blocks for PPC (fedora 10) from rpmfind.net.

It installed correctly, and gathered all the needed dependencies (I have a fedora PPC rpm repository added to my add/remove programs app). When I run it, a tab on the bottom for the program appears with the title (Starting Code::Blocks) or something of the sort, but it then disspears after a couple of minutes and the program never appears. Can anybody figure this out?

Whice fedora repo are you using? I wouldn't expect a fedora 10 repo to work very well for YDL 6.

I'm not at all familiar with that IDE, but you might try starting it from a terminal window instead of the menu and see if it offers any useful error messages.

This is what I got when I tried to execute it in terminal:

codeblocks: error while loading shared libraries: libgio-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'd first get rid of the version you have installed, probably with:

Code: Select all

yum erase codeblocks

(assuming that's the correct name of the RPM you installed)

And you didn't mention which Fedora repo you're using, but I wouldn't expect any Fedora 7, 8, 9, or 10 repos to work on YDL 6 ... If you're using any Fedora repo other than for Fedora 6 PPC, I'd remove that repo file from /etc/yum.repos.d ...

It looks like cobeblocks is included in the EPEL 5 repo -- you might want to try setting that up instead. You can do that with:

Code: Select all

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/ppc/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm'

(will ask for your root password)

Then try installing codeblocks using yum:

Code: Select all

yum install codeblocks

And if all goes well, try starting from terminal again ...

Awesome, thanks for the help, it works now.

Great! Glad that worked out for you.
