Error: Dependancy is not satisfiable: libboost-filesystem1.34.1


Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

Just downloaded the .deb for the darkradiant 0.9.7, and when I try to install the package it gives me the error that libboost-filesystem1.34.1 is not satisfied.

 

But I have libboost-filesystem1.34.1 installed... I just reinstalled it and still won't install.

 

Something up with the package?

Do you have a 64bit version of Ubuntu?

Dependencies can specify a version, not just a package name. The version from the DarkRadiant DEB I have on this system specifies ">= 1.34.1-2.1", which is presumably newer than what 7.10 is providing.

 

It's fairly easy to build a DEB package yourself, using a tool such as pbuilder or just using dpkg-buildpackage. However, I recall there may be a problem with compiling with older Boost versions due to the use of newer API calls, but maybe this was fixed.

So I guess it's time to upgrade then!

 

If you can, that should solve it.

 

I think we could also build a DR package which works back in Ubuntu 7.10, but it would take some time - we presumable need first a VMware container or something with that specific Ubuntu. Both my computers already run 8.04 (and soon 8.10 :)

Hey, so the upgrade finished and guess what... DR works, so that must be it.

 

Maybe there should be a note on the darkradiant download site that points out the .DEB was compiled for Ubuntu 8.04 or something to that effect?

I can quite easily build DEBs for any version of Ubuntu (within reason, if it's too old stuff won't compile) using PBuilder, the only tweak would be that the version number would have to be something like 0.9.7~dapper1 or 0.9.7~hardy1 in order to distinguish the downloads.

 

Of course compiling for every version since 6.06 would be quite a lot of work, it might be best to pick a couple of major distributions and use these (maybe the latest release + the previous release, or the latest release + the most recent LTS release).

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
