e17

[jnalli]

Will someone please help me install e17? I tried everything that was suggested to me on this forum from Nick and others and nothing has worked. Even tried compiling from source. Does anyone have any ideas? Are the repos for e17 dead? is e17 not supported anymore?

[jnalli]

It said i was missing libxm, ecore, libjpeg..... all kinds of stuff.. and when i install those i'm something else... on and on and on...

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

...then try to install cvs again...

Same result as above. Must be something wrong with my repositories... or something...

ok...have you tried fixing the broken packages by opening Synaptic, then under Edit, click on "Fix Broken Packages" ??

[jnalli]

Yup... tried that too... and i tried updating and installing updating and installing... same result each time...

[SaddleTramp]

If these pkgs are listed in Synaptic: libtag1-dev & libtagc0-dev, then try installing them (one at the time)...

[jnalli]

Sorry to be such a pain.. but tried that too... it keeps saying that something else needs to be installed first and if i install that it says there are other dependencies... it's like a loop... nothing works...

[SaddleTramp]

Pardner, I'm gonna be honest with ya...IMHO, anything that aggrevating to install isn't worth it...I've looked at what they call a forum and I don't even see one for installation problems over there....even still, they're the guys that developed it, they should be the ones with all the answers...I personally haven't ever tried it, and from the experience you're having, it just made my "I won't ever go there" list...however, and this is a big if, I believe stanca uses it and he might be your best bet in getting you thru the install...

I really don't mean to let you down or anything, but I'm at a loss of why it's being so hard to install...anyway, maybe someone that is using it, or has tried it will come along and help you thru this...Good Luck!!
