Hey list! ive been lurking here forever, but his is my first post
i recently decided to install linux, with the Planet CCRMA package. being a long time (frustrated) windows user, the benfits of this new system are really exciting. i downloaded the Red Hat 8.0 install ISOs from the P-CCRMA site, along with the CCRMA core and app ISOs. everything is being installed off cd.
anyways, the red hat install goes perfectly (quicker then any windows install ive ever done), but once i get to installing the CCRMA kernel, i have a problem. doing the "apt-get -o RPM::Install-Options::=--oldpackage install planetccrma-core", i get a msg saying"
Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: planetccrma-core: Depends: alsa-lib (= 0.9.6-2.cvs.rh80) but it is not going to be installed Depends: alsa-lib-devel (= 0.9.6-2.cvs.rh80) but it is not going to be installed Depends: alsa-utils (= 0.9.6-2.cvs.rh80) but it is not going to be installed Depends: alsa-tools (= 0.9.6-2.cvs.rh80) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
now, ive gone into synaptic and checked what dependancies arnt working out, and it seems to trace back to a "libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2)". before this current install, got a red hat 8.0 install of a random FPT site, and eventually ended up at the same dead end. any suggestions? im very eager to utilize these tools, but becoming kinda frustrated
thanks in advance, gordon
