Hi, i have a problem triying to update suse right now, since i’ve installed it (2 weeks ago), i haven’t been able to update it, the problem says something like this:
can’t find libtcl8.4.so needed by libpurple
i’ve searched the web trying to find the libtcl but i’ve only found for others distros.
Could you help me with this? i’m new in suse and dont know how to fix it.
I’m sorry about posting the thread in this forum, but i didnt find another one suitable for my problem.

libpurple is only needed for finch and pidgin and their related accessories.
installing ‘tcl’ would satisfy that dependency.
Although, how you got libpurple installed without libtcl is a mystery too…
did you install pidgin by hand? Odd.
the command (as root)
zypper install tcl
should fix that “can’t find…” error you’re getting.

Currently I only have libpurple-2.4.1-28.1 available that requires libtcl8.5.so but, like said above, tcl provides that. My additional suggestion is
zypper refresh --force
before the update or install.
i installed suse 11 from a dvd, and that’s all. Dunno why i have the problem now.
well, i uninstalled pidgin a week ago, maybe didnt uninstalled it well, so now a removed libpurple and the update goes well.
