Installing older libraries

**pbiel** · 09-Jun-2015, 11:24

Hi folks,

for work reasons I have to use a program (Genfit, not very well-known), that during installation (more precise: I build it from source with make) produces the following error:

Code:

Linking CXX executable bin/vertexingTestRead
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: warning: libGLEW.so.1.9, needed by /usr/lib64/root/5.34/libRGL.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
…

As far as I understand, the problem is the following: I installed glew from the repos, but the only versions offered are 1.10 (in the default repo) or 1.12 in some other repos; Genfit however seems to require version 1.9 (from 2013). So: Is there a simple way to get this older version?

What I already tried was downloading the .rpm from rpmfind. I clicked on the rpm-link (right of the "OpenSuSE 13.1 for x86_64"), rpminstall opened, I clicked yes, okay and got no errors, and there is a file /usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.9 now, but I still get the same error. Can anyone give me a hint?

Cheers

Hi
Can't use the version from the Science repository?
https://software.opensuse.org/package/genfit

Did you install the development package?? That would be what is needed for a compile.

glew only contains the binaries.

libglew contains the libraries. I quickly compiled the libglew1.9 vs 13.2 in my repo from old 12.2 sources.

You didn't mention whether you had 13.1 or or 13.2, so:

13.1

Code:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Miuku/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64/glew-1.9.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Miuku/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64/glew-devel-1.9.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Miuku/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64/libGLEW1_9-1.9.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm

13.2

Code:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Miuku/openSUSE_13.2/x86_64/glew-1.9.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Miuku/openSUSE_13.2/x86_64/glew-devel-1.9.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Miuku/openSUSE_13.2/x86_64/libGLEW1_9-1.9.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm
