FreeRIDE Problem on RH8 Machine

Pre-hacking, I glanced at FreeRIDE. Even without the Speller working
(lexical scope and all that AI jazz – and my doesn’t Ward Cunningham’s
speller work quickly on WikiWikiWeb!) it seemed to be worthy of further
exploration.

Then, up popped the DependencyDemons in full force! I managed to make
X11R6 dysfunctional on my RH8 machine by trying to obtain a copy of
libGLcore that was needed for X so that Y would… etc. You get the
picture! (CAUTION!! Newbie at play!)

Was there a question hidden somewhere in that post?

Possibly… I wanted to look at FreeRIDE, so I guess the question could
be how to get FreeRIDE going? As I perusing Ruby Garden I saw that this
was previously noted in December.

raa-install chokes on installing one of the dependencies – fxscintilla
– so I saw the question as somewhat moot for the time being. The
message is to the effect that a necessary installer is missing, without
saying which installer that might be.

I found your reply to Daniel Carrera on 28 Dec 2002 and followed the
instructions you gave to him for overcoming dependency problems related
to the installation of FreeRIDE.

On my Red Hat Linux 8.0 machine I installed: 1) fox (as RPM),
2)fxscintilla (as source) and 3)FXRuby (with raa-install) in that order,
then tried to install FreeRIDE, the RPM. The dependency error message
reports unlocatable packages: fxscintilla, FXRuby, libfox1.0 in that order.

From these clues, I deduced that my attempt at installing from source
failed.

I know that when you build FXRuby you need top include a special option to
include FXScintilla in the FXRuby build (I don’t remember the option, off
hand, but it is in the FXRuby build instructions).
