Problem on installing xnview

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Gentoo_64
gnome-light

On running
# emerge -pv xnview

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Still can't proceed. Please advise.

it is hard masked, not masked by a keyword. to get around this

echo "x11-misc/xnview" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask

Though unmasking hard masked packages can have bad effects on the system, though it may well work flawlessly.

Tks for your advice.

Still failed.

Also tried;
# cat /etc/portage/package.unmask

# x11-misc/xnview
x11-misc/xnview ~x86

without result.

I have just had a look at this on my laptop, and it seems as though the 1.70-r2 build isn't masked in any way on x86. Assuming you are on x86, try sync'ing portage first:

emerge --sync

and then try emerging it again. I haven't got any unmasking for that in my /etc/portage/package.* and it will install happily enough on the laptop (if it could download the packages needed)

Hi sdousley,

Assuming you are on x86, try sync'ing portage first:

emerge --sync

and then try emerging it again

I did it twice before without result.

Did it again
# emerge --sync

It went throught w/o complaint.

# emerge xnview

- x11-misc/xnview-1.50-r1 (masked by: missing keyword)

Still the same.

This box has something strange. Just ran;
# rtorrent ubuntu-6.06.1-server-amd64.iso.torrent

server not found. Download the ISO image on Internet. md5sum can't match. I did it twice with the same result.

Ran
# wget htt//:.....

connecting server failed.

Finally I have to download the ISO image on FC5_64.

Now I have "XnView-x86-unknown-linux2.x-static.tgz " download and haven't figured out on which directory to keep it and to decompress/install from there. Any suggestion. TIA

having manually downloaded it, put it in /usr/portage/distfiles that's where emerge downloads to. Though i doubt that will help, if it doesn't, can u paste the ebuild from /usr/portage/x11-misc/xnview/xnview-1.70-r2.ebuild

Hi sdousley,

Tks for your advice.

having manually downloaded it, put it in /usr/portage/distfiles that's where emerge downloads to.

What I planned to do is to decompress the package manually on the directory and then install XnView manually on there.

Would "/usr/portage/distfiles" be the appropriate directory?

Anyway I made following test;

# cp /path/to/XnView-x86-unknown-linux2.x-static.tgz /usr/portage/distfiles/

# ls /usr/portage/distfiles/ | grep XnView
XnView-x86-unknown-linux2.x-static.tgz

# emerge xnview

Looking at that, i seem to recall you being on amd64. xnview is only (by the looks of it) supported on x86 hardware in portage. I think you may well have to go install it manually if you wanted it installed on the computer. In which case, it doesn't really matter where u put the tarball, though u may wanna make it somewhere simple like /root/xnview so it's easy enough to get there.

Why not look for alternatives to xnview, something like imagemagick, something that's in portage that's supported on your hardware in portage.

I'll install XnView manually. Tks.

I have files in .wbz format download from their website. I doubt whether imagemagick supports those files. Just visited imagemagick site;

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

Can't find .wbz there.
