Cisco PacketTracer missing dependencies. [Solved]

Hi,
So I was going to install packet tracer. I followed the tutorial in the wiki section. <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PacketTracer">PacketTracer</a> Which seems a little thin I got to the part makepkg. here is the out put of what I did.


[ofce@myhost packettracer]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: packettracer 5.3.2-2 (Sat Jan 14 13:05:39 CST 2012)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
Password:
error: target not found: lib32-libpng12
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
[ofce@myhost packettracer]$

Any idea on how to get this working? I would like to get my assignments done for my cisco classes wink

Have a look at the dependencies https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pa/p … r/PKGBUILD
makepkg can pull dependencies from the repos, but the ones from the AUR you have to install yourself https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-libpng12

Re: Cisco PacketTracer missing dependencies. [Solved]

Yes I saw that I donwloaded lib32-libpng12 and ran makepkg -s but now it is saying this


error: target not found: lib32-zlib


I saw that it is in the multilib repo, but I do not have that. How do you add a repo? I uncommented it in pacman.conf then ran the command pacman-Syu but that did not trigger the event I was looking for.  Also rankmirrors is a little thin since I ran rankmirrors. Any advice on that? I think once I have multilib enabled I should be able to install everything.

Re: Cisco PacketTracer missing dependencies. [Solved]

Can you install lib32-zlib with pacman? If not, something's wrong with your pacman setup - post your pacman.conf.

# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

Here it is, when I run pacman -Syu I only see core, extra and community.

Re: Cisco PacketTracer missing dependencies. [Solved]

Ok, so I saw the error in that I needed to uncomment

#[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

to

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

but here is what it is saying now

[office@myhost lib32-libpng12]$ makepkg -s

Re: Cisco PacketTracer missing dependencies. [Solved]

Yes, you should read the wiki carefully: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … positories

Did you run 'pacman -Sy' your system after uncommenting multilib repo?

Re: Cisco PacketTracer missing dependencies. [Solved]

Some general advice: you are trying to use the AUR without learning how to use the AUR. Take a step back, put packet tracer to one side, and invest some time and effort in learning how this stuff works. The same goes for pacman - you've probably been getting by with just 'pacman -Syu' and a handful of other commands, now you need to dig deeper.

Re: Cisco PacketTracer missing dependencies. [Solved]

Thanks I will try to do more research.
uncommenting that headline and then running pacman -Syu worked like a charm.
