Yellow Dog Linux

I'm running YDL on a PS3 for developing applications that use both the PPU and the SPUs. For debugging, I like to use spu-gdb and ppu-gdb.

spu-gdb works correctly. it depends on expat-devel 1.95.8-8.2.1.ppc which is installed.
ppu-gdb complains that it cannot find the 64-bit library 'libexpat.so.0'

Does anyone know how to install this library? Or does anybody know where to find the expat-devel 1.95.8-8.2.1 ppc64 rpm for YDL 6.1?

Kind regards,
Coen Tempelaars

P.S. maybe this helps:

It looks like it's included in yellowdog-base:

Ah, found the source of the problem. I've only looked at the rpm-base of YDL6.1
I've installed expat-1.95.8-8.2.1.ppc64.rpm. Now ppu-gdb works like a charm.

Thanks!

Oh... I wasn't awake yet. It's in updates for YDL 6.1:
