[Mapserver-users] RE: failed dependencies: libgd.so.1.8

Gerald,

Yes, you need to make a soft link from libgd.so.1.8.3 to libgd.so.1.8, as
this is the dependency that rpm cannot find.

That should solve your problems. Failing that, check that your library paths
are setup correctly to find the so objects.

Matt.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] (ALOT) failed dependencies: libgd.so.1.8

Greetings,

I know I should be retaining source code for all these applications and 
libraries, but I have a hard enough time just retaining my sanity ;^)

The packages below are from the latest FreeGIS ISO.  As you can see
from my attempts the MapServer and GRASS packages cannot find the
libgd library, even though it is already installed.

[root at ventanavista i386]# rpm --install gd-1.8.3-1.i386.rpm
package gd-1.8.3-1 is already installed

[root at ventanavista i386]# rpm --install grass-5.0.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libgd.so.1.8   is needed by grass-5.0.0-1

[root at ventanavista i386]# rpm --install mapserver-3.6.1-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libgd.so.1.8   is needed by mapserver-3.6.1-1

Here is where the libgd libraries reside:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 May  5 23:24 libgd.so -> 
libgd.so.2.0.0*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 May  9 12:07 libgd.so.1 -> 
libgd.so.1.8.3*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       189116 Apr 19  2001 libgd.so.1.8.3*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 May  5 00:43 libgd.so.2 -> 
libgd.so.2.0.0*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       211504 Feb  3 04:58 libgd.so.2.0.0*

Do I need to create a softlink to libgd.so.1.8.3?

Any ideas?

Gerald Buckmaster
