RE: chimera compile: package dependencies
Hi,
In a previous post I asked for help compiling the chimera-1.65
web browse. When I ran xmkmf -a, I got the following message:
bash# xmkmf -a
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
Imakefile.c:3: Imake.tmpl: No such file or directory
imake: Exit code 33. Stop.
bash#
Someone (I think it was Joost. Sorry if I got your name wrong.
I don't have the message anymore.) was kind enough to tell me that I
needed xlib6-dev to get the missing files. I've got them from the
Debian site but as a result have been sent on a depedency chase. I have
lost my way and would be greatful for some more help.
I will include the messages I received while unpacking and installing
the various packages downloaded, but first, here is a summary of the
trail I have taken:
- downloaded xlib6-dev_3.3-4.deb required xlib6
- I acquired xlib6_3.3-4.deb which needs libc5 (>= 5.4.0-0
The installed version was 5.2.18-9.
- The site says that libc5 depends on ldso >= 1.7.14-2 and
libc6 >= 2.0.4-1.
- I downloaded ldso_1.8.12-1.deb. I was confused about which
libc6 to get so thought I would try to unpack install libc5
and read the error messages.
Here things start to get confusing for someone just reading about
what I've done.
- unpacking installing ldso failed because of files it couldn't find.
I don't know what they are or where to get them.
- unpacking/installing libc5 also failed due to unfound files.
- I thought unpacking/installing libc6 might provide the files,
but that failed because of a confilict with libc5. I thought libc5
depended on libc6.
- the files that ldso can't find are /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6
and /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6.
- the files libc5 can't find are /usr/lib/libpthreads.so,
/usr/lib/libc.so and /usr/lib/libm.so.
I should mention that I am using Debian 1.1.
The following is the output from the various unpack/installs that
failed:

Errors were encountered while processing:

Can anyone tell me how to get back on track so Ican compile chimera ?
Thanks IA,
Gerald
