I am not very good with resolving dependencies and what not. It appears that in earlier versions of Mandriva, it was in the repos. Is there a way I can add 2009 repos for instance and install the old one on Mandriva 2010? Is there anything else I can do?
Or, if anyone wants to help me with dependency hell, that would be cool to. Here is what happens when I try to install the rpm:
Code:
[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -ivh HandBrake-0.9.5-Fedora_GUI_i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.14) is needed by HandBrake-gui-0.9.5-1.fc14.i686
libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 is needed by HandBrake-gui-0.9.5-1.fc14.i686
libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.2.3) is needed by HandBrake-gui-0.9.5-1.fc14.i686
libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.3.3) is needed by HandBrake-gui-0.9.5-1.fc14.i686

Post # 5 : The i586 package works OK, using the command 'ghb'.
The installed link /usr/bin/HandBrakeGUI is not working :
/usr/bin/HandBrakeGUI -> ../../home/oli/rpm-build/rpm/2010.1/ \
BUILDROOT/handbrake-0.9.4-1mud2010.1.i386/usr/bin/ghb
About version 0.9.5 :
I used RPMBUILD to provide version 0.9.5 with a spec file from
the Mandriva lookalike handbrake-0.9.4-4pclos2010.src.rpm http://ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu/linux/pc...os2010.src.rpm
modified to version 0.9.5 : rpmbuild -bb handbreake095.spec

If I having Centos6.
I checked the required library in /usr/lib what I got was:
libnotify.so.1
libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.2
libz.so.1
So the version of my library is higher than the required dependency.

Post # 8, @fhleung.
If you are trying to install a Fedora 14(15) handbrake package into the Fedora 12
based CentOS 6: That's not a real dependency issue. It's just an impossible action.
As you can see from other handbrake posts, the application is easy to build :
The CentOS 6 package, handbrake-0.9.5-2el6.i686.rpm can be downloaded here ..
The file from your link works like a charm! Thank you so much!
Sorry, I still not understand the dependency concept. If I having latest/higher version of package (Fedora 15), is it possible to install into (Fedora 12) ?
for example, if I already having python2.6
Code:
rpm -ivh package-Python2.4.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/bin/python2.4 is needed by package.noarch

Rep:
rpm -Uvh application-Python2.4.noarch.rpm :
It's a package built by using python version 2.4 .
May or may not depend on python-2.4.
Using rpm to install packages should be an exception.
And using packages from another OS : A few will work.
But why are you trying to install alien packages ? ?
Generally : Use only # 'yum install' for package installs.
The most used 10,000 packages are avilable from CentOS or EPEL : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
