These are required libraries to install samba 2.2.6. Go to www.rpmfind.net (I believe thats it) and do a search from these files. Download the newest version of libncurses for your type of computer (probably x86) also download the newest rpms for libreadline for your type of computer. Install these rpms then try installing samba again. Not sure which version of Linux you are using. You may need other files too depending on how old your distribution is. -Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: gotcha To: samba@lists.samba.org Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 7:03 PM Subject: [Samba] rpm -i samba-2.2.6-1.i386.rpm hi there how can i resolve this problem regards [root@link root]# rpm -i samba-2.2.6-1.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libncurses.so.4 is needed by samba-2.2.6-1 libreadline.so.3 is needed by samba-2.2.6-1 [root@link root]#
You don't say what OS/distro you're using, but as you're working with rpms... I looked on my RH 7.2 system and I have don't have a libncurses.so.4, but I do have /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5... likewise I don't have a libreadline.so.3, but I do have a /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4. They were provided by the ncurses (5.2-12) and readline (4.2-2) rpm's respectively. Are you missing these 2 rpms? If you already had those installed, you might need to get your samba-2.2.6-1 in src.rpm form and do a --rebuild so the linker uses your version of those libraries... but probably this is not the case. You are probably missing them entirely. ~ Daniel gotcha@mymail.co.za wrote:> > > hi there > > > > how can i resolve this problem > > > > regards > > > > [root@link root]# rpm -i samba-2.2.6-1.i386.rpm > error: failed dependencies: > libncurses.so.4 is needed by samba-2.2.6-1 > libreadline.so.3 is needed by samba-2.2.6-1 > [root@link root]# >-------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
