instead of tripping around the net and picking up apps from who knows
who (ok, so we know Google, but), why not just use the neat, tidy and
hopefully CLEAN and easy to install applications in the openSUSE repos??
stardic is right there in the basic oss repo, so just pop open YaST >
Software Management, search on ‘stardict’, mark it for installation and
then click “Accept”…done, no messing around with downloading,
compiling (after finding all the pieces, some with different names
depending on the disto, etc etc etc), installing, figuring out how to
add it to a menu, etc etc etc…
OR, just pop open a terminal, become root with “su -”, and enter
zypper in stardict
done! don’t even have to open YaST
OR, go to http://software.opensuse.org, click the tool icon and dial in
your openSUSE version number, type in stardict and follow your nose…
but, to your question “what’s wrong? . . .all the versions are higher
than the required.”
well, “higher than” is not always “better than” or “good enough
for”…that is, if i tell you stardict requires libsomething1.2.3 you
should not assume it will run with libsomething1.2.4, 1.2.5 or anything
other than what it requires (in this case lib1.2.3! if you don’t give
it 1.2.3 it very often won’t run.)
and, when you say “but I have installed all of them”, so how did you
install them? did you use YaST or zypper so that everything gets to the
correct place, and all the links are set up as required, or did you just
… . . . what? (they must be installed correctly, and if you manually
installed them all to the correct places, did you then run ldconfig to
get them rescanned by the system??)
