{solved} a missing dependency to itself??
« on: June 23, 2010, 06:02:40 PM »
I'm building FreeCAD that has it's libraries in /opt/FreeCAD/lib and a configuration file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d and all the libraries are present in the RPM (have looked inside it). When installing, all the libraries are listed as 'missing dependencies' and is marked as a broken package..

Is there a trick to tell the installer where to look? Like ldconfig during the build?

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  FreeCAD: Depends: libCompleteGui.so.2 but it is not installable
           Depends: libComplete.so.2 but it is not installable
           Depends: libDrawingGui.so.2 but it is not installable


thanks :-)

Solved,

don't know the exact reason for this - but suppose it's because the libraries are not in the standard places.

Setting all the libraries as "Provides: " solved it
