3.3 RPM install fails on Fedora 14 and Redhat 6

[jagalactic]

Hoping somebody has already figured out how to resolve these dependencies. Attempt to install on Fedora 14 results in the following errors. Ditto for Redhat 6.

[root@lisamarie ~]# rpm -i diffmerge-3.3.0.1001-1.i386.rpm

Do you have a 32 or 64-bit machine?

[jagalactic]

x86_64

Diffmerge runs fine on my 64 bit Centos 5.4 box

...and I don't care whether diffmerge is running as a 64 bit app, but I'd sure like to be using it. Great app...

[Beth]

What version of Glib do you have installed on each?

[jeffhostetler]

I'm guessing the problem you are seeing may be that you only have the 64-bit version
of the various system libraries installed on the system. I'm wondering if the default
fedora install has changed in the last few releases to not automatically also install the
i386 (aka i686) versions of things by default.

I have a fedora 12 x86_64 system and when I run "Add/Remove Software" (and
turn off the "Only native packages" checkbox on the Filters Menu), I see that I have,
for example, both the i686 and x86_64 versions of libX11. I don't have a 14 x86_64
system to confirm that at the moment.

You might try searching for the major libraries in the list you posted and confirm that
you have both versions and/or install the i686 version and then try to install DiffMerge
again. (I only say "major" thinking if you pick one with lots of dependencies, it'll drag
in the rest.)

FWIW, I currently have a 64-bit version of DiffMerge running and am hoping to release a 3.4
or 3.3.1 in a month or so in both 32 and 64 bits (on both Fedora and Ubuntu), so the
problem you're seeing will be history.

Cheers,
jeff

[jeffhostetler]

The 3.3.1 release is out and has 64-bit versions for both Fedora and Ubuntu:
