New Flash10-plugin cannot be installed

knutselaar

I'm trying to install the flash10-plugin.It is asking for the libcurl-7.19.6-1.fc10.i386.rpm but libcurl-7.19.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm-package is in the repository so it cannot be installed.Help would be appreciated.:)
 
knutselaar, give more information. This seems a bit mysterious to me. I have installed www/linux-f10-flashplugin10, without any problems. Moreover, I can't see any ports called libcurl-* in the ports tree. Are you sure you are running FreeBSD? Can you give the command you used to install the flash10-plugin, as well as the errors you got? Also include the output of [cmd=]uname -a[/cmd]

Usually when there are conflicting versions, you can delete the existing package with[cmd=]pkg_delete -f <packagename>[/cmd] and then try to install again, but I don't know if that helps you.
 
I actually had this problem yesterday when installing flash. It requires a linux version of libcurl for the compat layer (for linux-f10-curl), and the ports tree was unable to pull it down. I simply google'ed the file name and grabbed the file from a server that had it, and then copied it to the proper location under /usr/ports/distfiles/. I had to do this with a couple of files, but they were all available on the same server.

@Adam,

where do you put these extra files(and which are they??) What comes to my mind is
/usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/i386/fedora/10 to put the files in.
 
if you check the output of 'make' it will tell you where it's looking for the files.

I'm stuck.

Makefile of the flashplugin showed the following dependecies: openssl curl cyrus-sasl2 libssh2 nspr nss openldap.

curl and nss had to be manually fetched; that's why I started this thread. I rpm -i ed the fetched packages. Dependencies for the curl-package are linux-f10-gtk2 which provides the libc.so.6, which is in /compat/linux/lib.

How to proceed??

Well that was just wrong. Didn't I tell you to check the output of 'make' to see where to place the files under /usr/ports/distfiles/ ? If you just put them there, and rerun make, it will find them and install them properly.

I'm sorry: ""Make" 'what'.'Make' (install) install_flash_player10... gives me libflashplayer.so, but nothing is installed. Make libcurl-7.19.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm gives me libcurl.so.4 directing to
libcurl.so.4.1.1 ?!? Make nss... and so on.I do not know where the dependecies of libcurl7.19.6-2 ,/usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/nss-3.12.2.0-3.fc10.i386.rpm or /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/nss-3.12.3.99.3-2.10.6.fc10.i386.rpm are being put in any kind of directory.Yes this is my first time trying to install a tar.gz-package.I'm from windows but struggling with FreeBSD for over one and a half year,with fun.
 
@knutselaar Could you format your posts (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=8816) and introduce some whitespace and punctuation too? This looks like unreadable spaghetti. Normally I edit unreadable posts, but I have no idea where to begin with that one:

I'm sorry: ""Make" 'what'.'Make' (install) install_flash_player10

Seriously? Please write a new one. And format it.
 
How to deal with 'make'

Resume @Adam

The missing dependecies of /ftp/linux-f10-curl are to be found at http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/updates/10/i386/.
At least,here I found the file libcurl-7.19.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm.
At http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/13683579/dir/fedora_10/com/libcurl-7.19.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm.html I found these requirements:http://pastie.org/1132290.

So,what to do next?

If I use the /archivers/xarchiver and open the file libcurl-7.19.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm I see in the archive tree that this file has to be extracted to /usr/lib,right? So I do.
If I [CMD=]rpm -i [/CMD]
libcurl-7.19.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm
I see http://pastie.org/1132335.
I think the important missing file is /linux-f10-nss, but which one /nss-3.12.2.0-3.fc10.i386.rpm or /nss-3.12.3.99.3-2.10.6.fc10.i386.rpm or another?

In the end, when I [CMD=]make [/CMD]
/usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/10.1r82/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz I see the output 'make: don't know how to make.stop' which brings me back to the topic.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
When you run 'make' in /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin10, it tells you specifically where it's looking for the distfiles that you downloaded. I'm not in front of a FreeBSD box, but it will say:

Code: 
Blah blah blah doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX

Put the files you downloaded in that directory and then run 'make' again.

Adam
 
As you said before,trying to fetch linux-f10-curl was unsuccesfull. You fetched the port from http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...dates/10/i386/, right?

This gave you libcurl-7.19.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm. Installing this package said by [CMD=""]xarchiver[/CMD] gave the destination /usr/lib for the libcurl.so.4 and libcurl.so.4.1.1,right? You put it in there.

I've got the feeling I've to symlink these files, because when I proceeded the make linux-f10-curl is still asking for libcurl-7.19.6-1.fc10.i386.rpm which could not be given.
 
Alright, I give up. Either you're not reading my posts or you're just not understanding them. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make myself any clearer.

Adam
 
I just finished building a new box. Linux-f10-flashplugin10 installs without any problems. No problems fetching linux-f10-curl.

Update your ports tree and try again.
