error when building gyachi [finally SOLVED]

okplayer02 · 2008-12-16 19:06:29

now when i go to issue the command

 makepkg -s

i get the following error

configure: error: cannot find include files for libpulse-simple. Perhaps you need to install the libpulse or libpulse-simple development package?
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

what exactly do i need to fufill this dependency is it to install pulseadio package??

and also one more question how do i go about generating or finding the md5sum for this package that i want to build i am new to building packages in Arch Linux and i already exhausted looking at google.

Yes, install pulseaudio.

You need to generate md5sums for the source, not the package. It's 'makepkg -g'

okplayer02 · 2008-12-17 00:46:33

well that did it for me i had to install pulse-audio and imagemagick to build it properly i figured just wanted to be sure about that

however once i install the program with pacman it complains of a the following error when i try to run it

gyachi: error while loading shared libraries: libgyachi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i looked in the source folder where i built it and this file is not present where do i go to find this lib

can anyone help me with the building of this package i got it compiled but is missing this library to run the program.

That library should've been installed when you installed the package. Make sure there was no error when building the package. The library might be in a hidden directory in the source folder. That might be why you didn't find it. Posting the PKGBUILD would help.

here is a copy of the pkgbuild

# An adaptation by Tajidin Abd <>
# Ex-Contributor: Conor Callahan <>
pkgname=gyachi
pkgver=1.1.59
pkgrel=1
arch=('i686')
pkgdesc="Improved Yahoo! client for Linux"
depends=('libgtkhtml' 'jasper' 'xmms' 'libmcrypt' 'gpgme' 'codecs')
source=(http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
url="http://gyachi.sourceforge.net"
license="GPL"
md5sums=('e9c8767b35b3bf17ea152ed79c9c8ef0')
build() {
   cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-v4l2 --disable-gtktest --disable-glibtest \
   --with-x
   make || return 1
   make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install

   # Remove conflicting codec files
   rm -rf $startdir/pkg/usr/lib
   }

i will look to see if there was any err0rs but strange i figured if its missing a lib like this it wont compile successfully

if you have a multi-core or multi-CPU system, try to add:
options=('!makeflags')
to the PKGBUILD.

okplayer02 · 2008-12-19 13:16:24

well i dont have a multicore its just a pentium-m processor but i will keep searching to see about this lib that is missing

Snowman · 2008-12-19 22:08:41

I'm trying to build it. I'll let you know if I found something.

Snowman · 2008-12-19 22:53:20

I found the problem. The 'rm -rf $startdir/pkg/usr/lib' was removinbg the lib from the package. Anyway, use the PKGBUILD below. I've made several other fixes.

# An adaptation by Tajidin Abd <>
# Ex-Contributor: Conor Callahan <>
pkgname=gyachi
pkgver=1.1.59
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Improved Yahoo! client for Linux"
arch=('i686')
url="http://gyachi.sourceforge.net"
license=('GPL')
depends=('libgtkhtml' 'jasper' 'xmms' 'libmcrypt' 'gpgme' 'codecs' 'libnotify' 'pulseaudio' 'gtkspell')
makedepends=('imagemagick')
options=('!makeflags' '!libtool')
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('e9c8767b35b3bf17ea152ed79c9c8ef0')

build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
./autogen.sh || return 1
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-v4l2 --disable-gtktest --disable-glibtest \
--with-x || return 1
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1
}

i will try to compille it now but thanks for the effort now looking back at i see where it does remove the library. i wonder why someone would put that in the pkglist. very important library

okplayer02 · 2008-12-20 23:26:13

everything complied good and it is running well.

just a bit of advice to newbies esp coming from rpm based distro like Fedora u really have to do a little trial and error and watch ur whitespaces in the pkgbuild
i had to find out the hard way

thanks
