gyach install error
Posts: 7
hello all,
this is my first post in this mepis forum. this distro
is great, im awed by how linux has advanced through the
years... kudos to warren for the job well done.
has anyone successfully installed gyach-enhanced in their
mepis box? i tried installing it last night but no luck, it
complains of a library missing. the install files i fetch
from gyach-enhanced website, including all other files.
i used alien to convert gyach rpm files to deb then run
dpkg, as i read it from a user poster here not so long ago.
the missing lib file is libltdl.so.3. i love to know if
apt-get can fetch this 'automatic' or maybe synaptic. the
program btw is installed in /usr/local/bin/gyach. i love
to paste details of the err file but im at work and just
posting using cygwin/lynx at the moment. any help or advice
is appreciated.

thanks elleomea,
you are right about the libltdl3 package. in fact i googled my
problem after posting. workaround is apt-get install libltdl3 and that
i did and voila! i got gyach fired up! but i still have to play around
with it again in the coming days and check the webcam support. how do
i share gyach and my desktop screenshots here? i forgot the app to
capture my desktop, anyone can tell me what it is? thanks for the
reply again.

ksnapshot is probably the easiest utility to use for capturing screenshots. There's an insert/modify image button in the post editor on this site (though you'll need to host the image yourself).

ok thanks again elleomea. will get back with my screenshots if i find
host for the shots.

dpkg does not do automatic dependancy resolution like apt, you may be interested in installing apt-file. With this you can run a command such as apt-file search libltdl.so.3 and find out which package that file is included in (in this case it's the package libltdl3).
