Could someone clarify how exactly the library concept works. I just
installed all the needed packages for gimp-0.99.18-1 on my 4.2 system, but
I'm having library problems. I need (failed dependencies):
libpng.so.0
libm.so.6
libdl.so.2
libc.so.6
ld-linux.so.2
I guess what I don't understand is the version numbering scheme. If I
understand correctly, I would need to have libc.so.6.* in order to make a
link from libc.so.6. However, I can't find anyting above libc.5.4.38 on
any of the sites. Could someone give a quick explanation?
Also, once I do find the needed libraries, I probably shouldn't be
deleting old libraries and links, right? (ie. if I have libc.so.5 which
points to libc.so.5.4.38 and I go out and get libc.so.6.* which I point
libc.so.6 at, should I make sure to keep around libc.so.5 for backwards
compatability of older programs, or will the old programs just go ahead
and use the new libraries?)
One more side note, when I tried to install gimp I also recieved an error
regarding (failed dependency):
/sbin/install-info
Which package is that in?
Thanks everyone!!
