Klik question

[win2lin]

How do i use it? i installed it from the desktop link, and did what the instructions said. It says that i can begin installing software. When i try to install something it gives a message about needing libstdc++5. I tried doing an emerge search for it and it turns up nothing. Anyway, it says I can install without the lib but the .cmg file will be larger than usual. OK, I have gone ahead and let it install some programs, klik says its done, but when I try to run the program it doesn't work. I've tried this for several progs, and no go. I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?

BTW there's nothing I really gotta have from klik just tried it out of curiosity. Still wanna get it working though.

google the package you needed, but iam not sure what one you need.

Here's the link :

Cheers Dude.

First, M8tRiX:
Gentoo uses ebuild packages by default. RPMs tend to break things, not install cleanly, etc. (hence the term RPM hell) We should direct users direct users to The Gentoo Online Package Database if they're having trouble finding a package

Second, win2lin:
libstdc++ is your standard C++ library. Anytime your system compiles source code written in C++, it's referencing this library. If you're getting errors saying you need a different version of libstdc++ the most likely cause I can think of is the package you're trying to install was compiled with a different version of GCC than is currently installed on your system...Have you ran emerge -u world recently or downgraded GCC?

Dio,

You right dude, i found the following that could help :

yup!

However, I know RC2 is built using GCC 4.1, so win2lin shouldn't be getting this error unless something happened to his system... the libstdc++-v3 ebuild is intended for older binary packages built on GCC 3.3 or 3.4... i don't know if this is the case with klik or not

[win2lin]

haven't changed the system any except screen res. Definitely haven't done an emerge -u world. As a matter of fact, I haven't done a succesful emerge world on any of the gentoo based (or even regular gentoo)distros that I have tried. It always fails because of blocks, masked packages. etc, etc..

[win2lin]

Here's the exact message I get from klik fwiw.


Please install libstdc++5.so in order to use klik. The installation will continue, but the resulting cmg files will be larger than neccessary.

Don't worry, I get the error too Klick isn't the best and I, personally, suggestion not using it.

@Dio: If the package isn't in portage, then rpms will suffice as they usually come with sources in them

@win2lin: I suggest just compiling from sources for something that you need, it'll usually always work (may have to play with the flags and configure though ) Such as I tried amarok since it wasn't ebuilding correctly and it has yet to work on klick. Installed by sources and viola

Also, it is advised to not do an emerge -uD world...never a good idea...if it ain't broke, don't fix it type of thing Also, the only time you should do an emerge -uD system is if you change your make.conf for better optimization or have changed gcc compiler

[win2lin]

Thanks, I was just messing around with klik to see how it works and if it was really as simple as it sounds. Same with emerge -uD world, I back up all my data so I don't mind taking risks and trying out new stuff. Drives my wife crazy at times cause she just want's to surf the net, (rant)and help out with the snowball effect of clogging up all the available bandwidth by forwarding all the little cutsie things she gets from everyone in her e-mail to everbody she knows(/rant) . Anyway I probly spend way to much time trying to get things to work that really don't matter.

lol

Yeah...well that's half the fun of linux/gentoo/GNU stuff...you get to hack and have fun with stuff also sounds like a budding dev to me
