bcompare-4.1.0.20575 install problems (i.e., need help)

[LordHog]

Hello,

I went through the terminal installation procedure and it seemed to install okay, but when I run BC it just dies. From the command if I execute "/usr/bin/bcompare --help" I see the following

Some Shared Libraries were not found

This is the last step of the install instruction in case it might help

I ended up going to bcompare-4.0.7.19761 for the time being and that still works. Any ideas how I can get BC to work or the install process to automagically installed the dependencies that is required? I really don't want to determine which package the dependencies belong to and install them individually. Any help is greatly appreciated. Oh, I am on a CentOS 6.5 machine.

Hello,

It looks like something has altered your RPMDB. 4.0.7 still works because at the time you installed it, it was able to properly set up the dependencies it needs. For some reason, 4.1 is having trouble setting up the dependencies.

The clue in the log is:
Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.
** Found 2 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
vmware-tools-libraries-x-9.4.5-1.el6.x86_64 has missing requires of vmware-tools-foundation >= ('0', '9.4.5', None)
vmware-tools-libraries-x-9.4.5-1.el6.x86_64 has missing requires of vmware-tools-libraries-nox = ('0', '9.4.5', None)

These aren't BC specific dependencies, are pre-existing issues on your system. Are you running in a VM? Is your Centos 6.5 install 32bit or 64bit? You need to resolve this issue, and then our RPM installer should be able to handle all BC specific dependencies.

Hello Aaron,

The CentOS machine is a physical machine and I didn't install VMWare, at least from what I can recall. Perhaps these got installed as a result of something else I installed??? I really don't have a clue how VMWare related items got on this machine. Generally, I only ssh into this machine. Note: BCompare works since I am running MobaXterm on a Windows machine which the DISPLAY is set to the Windows machine. Let me see if I can investigate and resolve the alleged issues.

Mark

Aaron, thanks for the pointing the vmware issues. I was finally able to get Beyond Compare 4, 64-bit Edition, Version 4.1 (build 20575) finally installed. Below is the steps I performed just to close the loop and in case anyone else might need it as a reference.

1) List the packages with vmware in it which four listings came back:

sudo yum list | grep vmware
vmware-tools-libraries-x.x86_64 9.4.5-1.el6 installed
xorg-x11-drv-vmware.x86_64 12.0.2-3.20120718gite5ac80d8f.el6
pcp-pmda-vmware.x86_64 3.10.6-1.el5 epel
xorg-x11-drv-vmware.x86_64 13.0.1-9.el6 base

2) Removed all items listed, though not all installed, but what the heck

sudo yum remove vmware-tools-libraries-x.x86_64 <- removed vmware-tools-libraries-x.x86_64 0:9.4.5-1.el6
sudo yum remove xorg-x11-drv-vmware.x86_64 <- removed xorg-x11-drv-vmware.x86_64 0:12.0.2-3.20120718gite5ac80d8f.el6
sudo yum remove pcp-pmda-vmware.x86_64 <- Package(s) pcp-pmda-vmware.x86_64 available, but not installed.
sudo yum remove xorg-x11-drv-vmware.x86_64 <- Package(s) xorg-x11-drv-vmware.x86_64 available, but not installed.


3) Run yum check to see if the issues still persist

sudo yum check
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
check all


4) Look for any existing beyond compare installs and remove them

sudo yum list | grep compare
bcompare.i386 4.0.7-19761 @/bcompare-4.0.7.19761.i386
bcompare.x86_64 4.1.0-20575 scootersoftware


sudo yum remove bcompare.i386 <- removed bcompare.i386 0:4.0.7-19761
sudo yum remove bcompare.x86_64 <- Package(s) bcompare.x86_64 available, but not installed.


5) Install the shinny brand new version

sudo yum install bcompare.x86_64


After those steps then BC was successfully installed. Thanks again, Aaron.

I am having a similar issue where 4.1.4.20978 will not work, but if I go back to 4.0.0.18847 it does work. The main difference from the OP is that I do not have root access on the machine running 64-bit Red Hat 5.7. Here are the steps I took:

1.) changed this line in install.sh because sbin wasn't in my path
libbz2so=`ldconfig -p | awk -F" " '$1=="libbz2.so.1" && $2~/'${LDCONFIG_ARCH}'/ {print $NF}'` to
libbz2so=`/sbin/ldconfig -p | awk -F" " '$1=="libbz2.so.1" && $2~/'${LDCONFIG_ARCH}'/ {print $NF}'`

2.) compiled libz 1.2.8 and put in /home/astevens/lib/beyondcompare since libz 1.2.3 on the server was getting this error: "/lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available"

Now I am stuck here:

From what I have read from other posts in the forums, Qt is packaged with beyond compare 4 now right? Any ideas on what might fix my issue?

Beyond Compare 4.1 and newer doesn't support RHEL5 because of a dependency on a version of QT that RHEL5 doesn't support. The newest version supported on RHEL 5.x is Beyond Compare 4.0.7. Email [email protected] and we'll provide you with a link to the older version.
