glipper install error (1-click install; log attached)

[zmdmw52]

Tried to install glipper (gnome clipboard manager) thro’ 1-click install from here:
Software.openSUSE.org

On clicking the link, the Yast Meta-package handler opened & after logging into Yast as root (p/w filled-in), it proceeded to add the repo’s, etc. This was ok. Midway through the install, it gave the foll Error Message:

Hi
If you search in YaST -> software -> software management and search for
gconftool-2 and make sure the “RPM provides” checkbox is selected, you
will find it’s part of the gconf2 rpm, which you need to install.

Can’t find the gconftool-2 (all repos added).
I already have the gconf2 installed (latest version). Can’t find any ‘RPM provides’ checkbox, as I can’t find gconftool-2.

Should I re-install g-conf2 (re-install option is available) or is that risky?

Hi
Hmm, what about;

malcolml@kermit-opensuse:~> which gconftool-2
/usr/bin/gconftool-2

So it’s looking in the wrong place for it…

I would look at just downloading the rpm and using the command (as
root);

rpm -Uhv <name_of_rpm>

Hi
Hmm, what about;
Code:
malcolml@kermit-opensuse:~> which gconftool-2
/usr/bin/gconftool-2
So it’s looking in the wrong place for it…

Running above cmd from konsole, gave me the same output as your’s (/usr/bin/gconftool-2); so that one is there in the right place. Tried copying gconftool-2 from konsole; bit it returned error that there was no such dir (/opt/gnome/bin/)

cp -v gconftool-2 /usr/bin/gconftool-2 /opt/gnome/bin/ 

But I still can’t 1-click install ‘glipper’.

Have downloaded the i586 RPM. How can one install from the RPM (tried right-click –> install with), but that did not help.

There are 2 other files available (manual pkg d/l)-
[RIGHT] ](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home:zdenekzapp) [/RIGHT]
i586 glipper-1.0-18.1.i586.rpm src glipper-1.0-18.1.src.rpm

Is there a way to install from these?

Hi
To install from the konsole (as previously posted );

rpm -Uhv <name_of_rpm>

Generally I wouldn’t just copy the program, look at creating a softlink.

I’m assuming your using 64bit (x86_64), the other one i586 is for
32bit, the src (source) rpm is the original that can be made into
devel, i586, x86_64 versions using the rpmbuild command.

Hi
Not sure how you got on, but found that you need to install the
opt_gnome-compat rpm to get the gconftool-2 and it creates
the /opt/gnome file structure.

I would look at just downloading the rpm and using the command (as root);

 Code:
 rpm -Uhv <name_of_rpm>

Does this command have to be run from where (the directory) the rpm has been downloaded?

I have 3 files (not for glipper, this is for codeblocks: Home) in the download directory:

1. codeblocks-8.02-0.suse1030.i586.rpm (4.9 MB)
2. codeblocks-contrib-8.02-0.suse1030.i586.rpm (3.4 MB)
3. codeblocks-devel-8.02-0.suse1030.i586.rpm (160 KB)

How can I install all 3? 1-click install from the opensuse build service could not install this.

PS:
These pkgs are specifically for openSUSE 11.0, as mentioned here:Download binary

Thanks,

Just use a wildcard;

su -
rpm -Uhv codeblocks*
SuSEconfig
exit

I opened the terminal in the directory in which I had downloaded the 3 files and ran the cmd- (after su - & p/w)

opSuSE-22Aug08:~ # rpm -Uhv codeblocks*

It returned the following error-

Hi
But your not at the directory where you downloaded the files when you
su -. If you enter pwd <enter> you will see you are at /root. You need
to change to the directory where the files are before running the
command, or use the full path to where they are. My bad for not adding
that to the code (I forget and make assumptions that the user would go
to where the files are).

In recently-installed openSUSE 11.1, I could install glipper (gnome clipboard manager) from Software.openSUSE.org using the 1-click button. It installed glipper & dependencies properly.

However, I am unable to run the program. On typing glipper in konsole (both as normal user & root), I get the error msg -

bash: glipper: command not found
How can I run glipper?
