(The Centos 6 i386 rpm is two versions behind but the x86_64 version is up to date. I don't have easy access to an i386 Centos 6 machine any more to build an i386 rpm, but you can easily do it yourself by compiling the src rpm that's there if you need it.) >I initially downloaded geany 1.24 from the EPEL repository but now wanted to install the plugin package which is not in EPEL. I visited your webpage , downloaded the Centos 6 x86_64 version of both geany 1.26 and the and lib-geany, which I assume is the plugin-package, but neither could be installed. The first fails with: geany-1.26-1.el6.x86_64 requires libgeany.so.0()(64bit) geany-1.26-1.el6.x86_64 requires geany-libgeany = 1.26-1.el6 and the second with: geany-libgeany-1.26-1.el6.x86_64 requires geany = 1.26-1.el6 which seems catch-22. Would you happen to have both of them installable? As an aside, it would be great if both of these packages were in EPEL so a simple yum update could work. Thank you.

The description field of geany-libgeany rpm states: QUOTE: This package contains the core functions of Geany which will be used by Geany plugins. END OF QUOTE I have never bothered to compile the actual geany plugins for Centos 6 due to a lack of demand and interest. I did compile and make the geany plugins for Centos 7 available on my webpage a little while back, but that's apparently not what you're looking for.

If they made it available then I probably wouldn't bother duplicating the effort. As stated at the top of my webpage, it is just stuff that I use that can't (easily) be found elsewhere. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

Now, next question is: how do I get the webkit preview to use for markdown files? There is no mention of it in the plugin manager, nor could I find it in any configuration menu. Would I now need to download the geany-plugin package from that site and compile the plugins from scratch? Thank you.

My understanding from the geany list is that it should have been installed. It does not seem to have been installed by your two packages - do you know where it can be found? Thank you.
