Re: NVU and libIDL 0.8.x

A different suggestion would be to make sure that the yum.conf file has the most current repositories as well as the standard ones. You can review the YDL FAQ website for details on modifying yum.conf to do this. In the search field type "yum.conf" within quotes or type yum alone without quotes if you wish more background. The YDL FAQ site is located at:

www.sharplabs.com/space/start/

After yum.conf has been properly changed, then you are free to do:

yum search liblDL

This lets yum do the search for you for all the available repositories listed within yum.conf. As you discover more freshrpms or valuable old rpms (to match the version of YDL you are using) you will find less need to muck about with rpms yourself as then yum will search for all repositories simultaneously upon command much faster than you could!

Best wishes...

I want to build NVU on my YDL 3.0.1 system. The requirements shown at
http://www.mozilla.org/build/unix.html say:
libIDL 0.6.3 - 0.6.8
Source snapshots are available from Mozilla via ftp. If using the RPMs,
you'll need both the regular rpm and the -devel rpm.
If you already have ORBit installed, then you do not need to install
libIDL as ORBit bundles libIDL. You may need to install the ORBit-devel
package if you use packages.
Note: libIDL 0.8.x will not work with mozilla.
With 'yum', I checked what's on my system. It says:
Looking in Installed Packages: Name Arch Version Repo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- libIDL ppc 0.8.0-3 db libIDL-devel ppc 0.8.0-3 db
and:
Looking in Installed Packages: Name Arch Version Repo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- ORBit ppc 1:0.5.16-1b db ORBit-devel ppc 1:0.5.16-1b db ORBit2 ppc 2.6.0-1 db ORBit2-devel ppc 2.6.0-1 db
Is there anything I can do to make my system able to build NVU?
