libxfce4util

Hi
and thanks for the great forum. Helped me a lot already.

I'm quite new to linux and need some help. I'd like to install libxfce4util-devel to be able to modify and build RPMs, but it's not possible as i have acer's version of libxfce4util. Is it possible to trick Add/Remove program to think acer's version as the normal libxfce4util or something?

Thanks!

 

You could always download the rpm file from the Fedora repository, then force the install. I think you can do it in one step as follows, but no guarantees:

Code:

sudo rpm -ivh --force --nodeps [url]http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/libxfce4util/4.4.2/1.fc8/i386/libxfce4util-devel-4.4.2-1.fc8.i386.rpm[/url]

WARNING The above is fairly likely to either not do what you want or break something you consider important. Use as your own risk

 

I got the devel package installed, but when i tried to build xfce-panel, i got pkg-config error about not having libxfce4util-1.0 package installed. When i enter "pkg-config --list-all" the package IS listed there. Any ideas wheres the problem?

 

No idea on this one. Haven't tried rebuilding any of the xfce packages on my AA1; I've rebuilt them on my desktop Fedora install in the past (xfce 4.0 in particular) without any problems. Time to call in the experts
