 Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2018 1:45 pm Post subject: Where has x11-libs/libXp gone? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi,
I am unable to start IDL anymore, I get the following error message
| Code: | | /opt/idl/idl/bin/bin.linux.x86_64/idl: error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
I see that depclean has unmerged x11-libs/libXp-1.0.3 a few days ago.
Where has it gone, and why has it gone? How do I get around the error message IDL throws at me?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks. IDL=Interactive Data Language. They have something to say on this, but it requires installing libXp. So I don't know what to do

As for what to do - check for a newer version upstream. If none is found, but source is available, you could try to patch out use of libXp. If source is not available, then you need to beg the vendor to release an update. Since libXp was dropped for being "long dead", upstream is overdue to cease use of it. |

I've successfully followed the steps to create a local overlay and installed libXp, but I'm having trouble for printproto:
| Code: | # repoman manifest

So I've downloaded https://www.x.org/releases/individual/proto/printproto-1.0.5.tar.bz2 and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles. But now I get a different issue...

Try to move printproto in a different category (for example x11-base) because x11-proto is no longer a valid category, and add also line
| Code: | | SRC_URI="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/${P}.tar.bz2" |
in ebuild.
When you did this you can also change line
| Code: | | >=x11-proto/printproto-1.0.5-r1[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] |
into
| Code: | | >= x11-base/printproto-1.0.5-r1[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] |
in libXp-1.0.3.ebuild

Sorry, I still have a minor issue. I've done a world update, and if I follow this with a emerge --depclean, portage want to uninstall the two local ebuilds:
| Code: | >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:
x11-libs/libXp
selected: 1.0.3
protected: none
omitted: none
x11-base/printproto
selected: 1.0.5-r1
protected: none
omitted: none
All selected packages: =x11-libs/libXp-1.0.3 =x11-base/printproto-1.0.5-r1 |
I followed the instructions for the local overlay but have I missed something to ensure portage does not try to remove these two ebuilds?

What issue? Looks like everything was just fine.
- You have to be in a portage tree or overlay of some kind for repoman to work.
- You used 'cd' instead of 'pushd', so of course the directory stack was empty.

You used -1 (--oneshot) option to install libXp?

Doh! That was it.  I copied and pasted the example on the wiki discussing the overlay. Thanks!

IDL is a commercial image processing/language software (and quite expensive as well). Widely used in scientific circles (for example in astronomy community). Good luck talking to 'upstream'. Anyway, I also got deadline coming and found that my IDL installation does not work .... |

| If it's expensive, does it also come with an expensive support contract? If so, that should be the basis for gently reminding upstream that they are very behind in updating their software. |

In my cases it comes with institutional license so I first of all have to go through our information technology services, and second - pay my part of the upgrade, if necessary. And now IDL is one of the products distributed by the third company,
and based on their site it looks latest version still requires libXp.
Anyway, I did install the overlay ( cut and paste from gitweb screen was the easiest procedure to 'reconstruct' ebuild, fortunately commit that erased it, showed all the contents in diff  ),
so everything is back to working order. |
