#1

Hello,

I’ve been trying to install SSMTP which for some reason doesnt exist under Zypper’s repositories.
I downloaded the RPM but it requires some dependencies which I cant seem to be able to find anywhere.

I’m using openSuse 12.1.

Can anyone please help?
Thanks!

Use zypper instead; its job is to make your life easier.

In the meantime, my 12.1 box has that in the following RPM:

glibc-2.15-19.1.x86_64

(and its 32-bit library is in the same thing as shown:
glibc-32bit-2.15-19.1.x86_64)

Good luck.

When I tried to look for that package through zypper I got this:
http://i49.tinypic.com/vh9ta1.jpg

It seems that one of the “glibc” packages is not installed.
It also shows as a “srcpackage”.
Could this be my problem?
If so, how do I install it?

Edit: even after installing the source package I gtill get the same error…

thanks!

In oS 11.4 64 bits libc.so.6 is just a simlink (in /lib64) to libc-2.11.3.so in the same directory.

libc-2.11.3 is provided by package glibc.

If you have libc-2.xx.x in /lib64 (or /lib if your system is 32 bits) try creating the simlink.

#5

Note that the simlink should have been created by the install. It’s possible there’s something wrong either with the package, how you installed it or your system.

Oh, and you usually don’t need the source package, only if you want to compile the app (which I never needed to).

#6

Since every working 64 bits system has “libc.so.6()(64bit)” in its RPM database… you don’t have a 64 bits system. Don’t try to install a 64 bits ssmtp.
In fact, since I had to say that, I am guessing you don’t even really need ssmtp to start with. You failed to “Describe the goal, not the step” (How To Ask Questions The Smart Way).

#7

I need to send emails through my gmail account.Yes, I’ve tried postfix but I cant seem to be able to configure it the right way. I also tried sendmail but have no idea how to generate sendmail.mc.
SSMTP was a piece of cake on CENTOS but fortunately for me its unavailable for openSUSE…

zypper install ssmtp-2.61-22.2.x86_64.rpm

from within the same directory you called your rpm command, does that
work? Of course it can fail if the glibc versions are different enough.

Where did you get the rpm from? Link?
If all fails fetch the src rpm and rebuild it with rpmbuild to match the
glibc versions used by openSUSE.

I found hat this version of ssmtp refers to an OBS build for openSUSE
11.0 (!), that easily explains why you cannot install it.

The first result for “ssmtp” in Google is https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSMTP. And the first line of that webpage says:

**Note: **This program still works as of 11-14-2009 but note that SSMTP is no longer being developed. You might want to consider an alternative like MSMTP.

MSMTP is available in the main repository.
