[SOLVED] How can I install libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 for Eternal SPU?

SteveDeFacto · 2013-09-07 15:27:19

I know I need to add a repository using yum-config-manager --add-repo but I don't know what repository? I tried searching google for the debian repositories but I could not find an appropriate url. Can I even use yum in arch?

You are trying to use yum on Arch Linux with Debian repositories? I think you are a bit confused here.

It is not a good idea to have more than one thing managing packages on a given system. That said, it still does make sense to have a different package manager in some cases. For example, if you wanted to create a chroot of a different distribution, you could use that other distribution's package manager to install the system to the desired location.

Maybe it would be helpful if you actually indicated what it was you were trying to accomplish, and not just the point at which you are stuck. Give us a frame of reference of what the overall goal of using yum on Arch might be.

Edit: BTW, to add to the first sentence of my post here. Yum is the Red Hat/Fedora/rpm package manager, while Debian uses the aptitude/apt-get/deb package management system. So you are effectively trying to use repos with *.deb files with a package manager that requires *.rpm packages.

Yeah, it probably would have been more effective to explain what I am trying to do since I didn't fully understand what yum even was.. Basically, I am trying to get ePSXe to work with eternal spu but it keeps crashing and saying "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[steven@" I assume that means I need to install a dependency. As I understand from a random forum post it is part of the compat-libstdc++-296 package which is installed though yum.

EDIT: Also I should mention that I already tried installing libstdc++ from official repositories and AUR by they didn't work. I assume the version is the problem.

Are you trying to install this "ePSXe" from source? Why not just use the AUR? Cower tells me that there is an epsxe package with 377 votes. So I am assuming that it is a functioning PKGBUILD and everything.

karol · 2013-09-07 22:05:40

Are you using Arch Linux? If so, please have a look at AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/epsxe/ or the unofficial repo [archstuff] which has the old version - epsxe 1.6.0-7 (precompiled).

That is precisely what I have done. However, it needs a sound plugin and I want to use alsa instead of oss but I can't get that version through AUR and the only option would be to compile the 32 bit plugin myself on my 64 bit machine. That appeared to be very difficult so instead I want to use eternal spu.

karol · 2013-09-07 22:16:11

Have you tried https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/epsx … -spu-alsa/ or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/epsx … eops-alsa/ ?
The latter is 32-bit only.

The name is deceiving. Note the comments, "Beware, this plugin only install the oss version of peops spu." and "Beware, even by editing the makefile/pkghbuild to compile the plugin with -m32, it dosn't work on x86_64. I dunno on i686."

Speaking of deceiving, you might want to change your post's title, since your actual problem is related to ePSXe, not to using a Red Hat package manager on Arch Linux to install Debian packages

Or you know maybe I still want to use yum to get the dependency I need...

Mr.Elendig · 2013-09-08 11:35:02

Just write a propper PKGBUILD for whatever you want to install. Don't even think about using yum.

RPM is the underlying package management of yum, and there are various tools in the AUR already for working with RPM packages in Arch.

You (should|could) be able to write a PKGBUILD that will extract the .rpm and repackage it into the appropriate format for Arch (ie, a pacman package). I'm reasonably sure there are already other PKGBUILD's in the AUR that do this, even if they are not for the package you're after, they would make a good starting point.

I just now found and extracted the RPM file using 7zip. I had to do some other minor hackery but it is working now. However, I have a problem with ePSXe which I got through AUR. It appears to need root privileges to do pretty much anything from changing settings to saving game states. Not only that but now eternal spu needs root privileges to access /dev/dsp. Not sure how to solve this?

WonderWoofy · 2013-09-08 18:53:40

As mentioned before, please change the title to reflect the real problem here.

I will tell you again that you probbaly do not want to use a second package manager on your system unless you really really really know what you are doing. Even then, it is likely that cause more trouble than it is worth. There are appropriate uses for a separate package manager like yum on an Arch system, but what you are trying to do is not one of them.

That I don't know, but as suggested this is now a different issue to your original post, and the thread topic.

For you own benefit, I suggest starting a new thread (with an appropriate title) to attract the attention of people with the knowledge to assist. This thread isn't likely to get their attention.
