What is the problem on cpanm etc.

Hi,

I am trying to install a CAD software of Lattice’s Diamond on my computer with OPENSUSE 11.4. It shows the following message after I enter:

cpan App::cpanminus

I do not know what is wrong with the installation.

The purpose of the above command is as (except):

Required Support Libraries
Diamond is packaged in Red Hat Package Manager format (RPM). In order to
install Diamond, several support libraries must be acquired from the operating
system vendor’s repository. See the following tables.
Also, the Perl 5 site library needs to be updated in order to use Lattice Mico
System. To update the site library, enter the following sequence of
commands:
sudo cpan App::cpanminus

in order to install some library such as:

libgdk-1.2.so.0 libm.so.6 libXext.so.6
libglib-1.2.so.0

Could you help me out? Thanks.

…

Thank you very much.

You answer is great! Now the installation asks:
Another lib, something as: gtk-1.2.10-1089.2.i586
…
nothing provides glib needed by gtk-1.2.10-1089.2.i586
…
When I find that:gtk-1.2.10-1089.2.i586, it requires : glib.

I cannot find the exact on local rpm or web. What is it? thanks again.

Hi
The issue is your trying to install software for an older release of
either Redhat or SUSE 10 which are neither lib compatible with openSUSE
11.4.

Either give the windows version a go running with wine, or virtualize
and install SLED10 SP4 and run there.

or you can compile / install in a separate environment, using --prefix.
i’m doing that whith GIMP, which also requires different versions of
system libraries. under this prefix, which can be located in ~/, you can
build the needed versions of gtk and whatever else may be required, adding
the locations to the environment for that session.
