[SOLVED] DraftSight on Mageia 4

[fox]

Hi. I have Mageia 4 KDE 64 bit. I downloaded and installed DraftSight from the fedora rpm package, provided on their website. It took a few minutes to install and there is the shortcut in the menu. But when I start it the icon shows in the task panel for a few seconds then disappears and nothing happens. Rebooted - same, reinstalled - same. Tried to start it through the konsole to see some output, but it says "command not found". Maybe the command is not "draftsight", not sure. As it is a rpm package, shouldn't it have all the necessary dependencies or I should install some? I see it is a 32 bit only program.

As it is a rpm package, shouldn't it have all the necessary dependencies or I should install some? I see it is a 32 bit only program.

Well, it should have all informations about depedencies. But as it's directly created by the vendor, it may miss some integration with the distributions.

Sadly they used case-sensitive names for the files and folders, and even include space, which is normally disregarded.

So this is what I got:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ /opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/DraftSight
/opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/DraftSight: error while loading shared libraries: libaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

simply installed the missing library and it runs here.

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ sudo urpmi libaudio.so.2
