I'm running Mandrake 9.1 with Gaim 0.68. I want to update to 0.70 but don't see this as an option currently in the Cooker mirrors I use. Installing the Mandrake 9.1 RPM from the Sourceforge site fails on some needed libraries.
Is there a quick & easy way to upgrade to 0.70 while maintaining my current settings?
Thanks.
First of all. If you are running 9.1 then you should **not** be using any Cooker mirrors.
Cooker is (or will shortly, briefly be) 9.2
Mixing packages from different releases is a recipe for creating 'dependency hell'
Now for Gaim-0.70
There are packages on Texstars download repository
Go here http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php
and declare a urpmi source for Texstar and you will then be able to see hos packahes in your Mandrake Software Manager GUI.
I went to this site and it showed me the following:
urpmi.addmedia main ftp://raven.cslab.vt.edu/pub/linux/mandrake/9.1/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://raven.cslab.vt.edu/pub/linux/mandrake/9.1/contrib/RPMS with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz
urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://raven.cslab.vt.edu/pub/linux/mandrake/updates/9.1/RPMS/ with ../base/hdlist.cz
I don't use urmpi, but rather the Mandrake GUI, so I added these directly to the Software Sources Manager. Then I went into Install Software, and searched for "gaim" - no hits. Why aren't I seeing gaim 0.70? Do I need to uninstall 0.68 first?
If you have nort done so then declare sources for updates, plf, and contrib too.
