unable to install scilab and eclipse

Phlogiston · 2009-03-15 14:08:34

I've eclipse installed and want to have scliab as well. But scilab wants jre stuff which conflicts with deps from eclipse.

Is there a way to solve this? Or is it just no possible on arch to have both packages installed?

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: jre conflicts with java-gcj-compat. Remove java-gcj-compat? [Y/n]
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: eclipse: requires java-environment

Eclipse requires java-environment AND java-runtime , jre only provides java-runtime.

Both java-gcj-compat and openjdk provide java-runtime and java-environment.
Try changing the dependency in scilab from jre to java-runtime.

Note : i have had 2 packages that stated they required jre, but run fine with openjdk.
As openjdk is have 1.6 whereas java-gcj-compat is 1.5 , openjdk seems a better choice.

I'm not sure which one of those deps are causing the problem.

depends=('libxml2' 'pcre' 'java-saxon6<7' 'lapack' 'java-batik' 'javahelp2' \
'java-flexdock' 'jogl' 'fop' 'jeuclid-core' \
'fftw' 'libmatio' 'bash' 'tk' 'jrosetta' 'ocaml')

Pacman -Si can be very handy in these cases.

package fop depends on java-avalon-framework , which depends on jre .

java-avalon-framework is in AUR community, and another user already posted a comment about this.

You can try mailing the maintainer, or use abs to get the PKGBUILD and change jre to java-runtime yourself.

If you install jdk, you should have the java-environment that is required by Eclipse. jre and jdk are the versions from Sun. If you are into open source only, then you will have to use openjdk

Yes, pacman -Si is indeed what I was looking for. I mailed the maintainer

Thanks
