Need help installing a program

[ninefingeredwonder]

I am having trouble getting a certain program to work. It's called Magic Set Editor, and it has a linux version. It seems to install fine, but when I press the link to run the program it always says there is no file type associated with this program. Here is the site to download it:

magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/download

I've tried the full and reduced versions, and I tried building it from source, which I have no idea how to do. I am using Fedora 10. Also, I've gone to their linux guy and he tried to help, but has never used Fedora, and so nothing he said worked. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Hello!
I was looking at their website, did you see this ?

If you are having trouble running the install script for MSE, please delete lines 20-26 of the install script (the two if blocks).

You might also try running it from the command line, if that fails it will usually give you an error that will lead you somewhere.

I tried all of that. It doesn't install with the 'if' statements. It installs to 'usr/local/share/magicseteditor' and all of the icons have X's at the top right. Furthermore, when I try to run the program in terminal it prints this:

./magicseteditor: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

..and I can't seem to find that particular package. This has been a very frustrating--what turned out to be a--project.

go to rpmfind.net seach for libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0

download and install rpm

I found the package and installed it. Now it says it needs:

libhunspell-1.2.so.0

I went to the same place the dependency resolution failed, and these are the details:

libhunspell-1.2.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package hunspell-devel-1.2.7-5.fc10.x86_64
libhunspell-1.2.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package 1:openoffice.org-core-3.0.1-15.4.fc10.x86_64
libhunspell-1.2.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package 1:enchant-1.4.2-4.fc10.x86_64

I went to another place and tried to download the same package ( hunspell-1.2.8-4.fc11.i586.rpm) and it told me there is a local file conflict between packages, and these were the details:

Test Transaction Errors: file /usr/lib/libhunspell-1.2.so.0.0.0 from install of libhunspell-1.2.8-1mamba.i586 conflicts with file from package hunspell-1.2.7-5.fc10.i386

I also installed it from fedora's package installer. In essence, hunspell is asking for the same lib file that websites say its package includes.

Hi there,

I am fairly new to the linux environment and this forum so wasnt sure where to post this but have some questions in regards to installing a bluetooth application. I am currently running Fedora 10. The application I am trying to compile is called bluesnarfer. Once I have it installed I am interested in the Linux to mobile protocol.

First I navigate to the file location as root user (All files present):

[root@###-###-###-###-## bluesnarfer]# dir
include  Makefile  README  src
[root@###-###-###-###-## bluesnarfer]#

Then I run the install command as included with the package:

[root@###-###-###-###-## bluesnarfer]# gcc -Iinclude -W -g3 -lbluetooth src/bluesnarfer.c -o bluesnarfer

And this happens:

From my understanding (though limited) is that the bluetooth header files can not be located such as the bluetooth.h etc and therefore will not compile. Now I have the entire bluetooth framework installed on my system including:

Linux Bluetooth protocol stack (BlueZ)
- GCC compiler
- D-Bus library
- GLib library
- USB library (optional)
- Lexical Analyzer (flex)
- YACC (yacc, bison, byacc) - (bison)
- BlueZ-libs

and therefore fail to understand why the application does not launch. From other information I could gather is that it could be due to a path variable in the GCC...???

Would love if someone could shed some light on this and help me get this up and running!

Look forward to some responses
