Apps :: Installing non-MyDSL apps

Thanks Roberts, dl'd it via firefox,
md5summed it o.k, still not getting
libtiff.

ldd /usr/bin/gtksee indicates libtiff.so.4 is required,
package gives me libtiff.so.3 link libtiff.so.3.5.7,
so wont start.
Which is odd.

I just downloaded via mydsl tool and browsed over to /usr/share/fluxbox/backgrounds and it worked fine.
The libs added are the same ones that worked fine in 1.5.

Can you test with base and norestore options?
Maybe something else you have loaded?

Otherwise I cannot reproduce it not running and displaying basic jpg and png images in the base system.

Note also even when I run from command line
$gtksee
I get no errors.

It was quicker for me to boot a plain vanilla DSL 2.0
live cd- no root packages, no optionals, no backups/myconfs.
Used MyDSL for the second time ever, got icon on
desktop, but no launch, same result when launching from cl,
the message about libtiff.so.4.
But now I realise that I have a frugal install on this machine,
the live cd could have picked up something from there, I'll
try another machine and let you know.

Edit*
Yup, did the no restore, base on another machine, same
thing, used MyDSL to get gqview, that went well.
I'm not trying for the "Pain of 2006" award, at least not this early
in the year, I'll just stick with the earlier package 'cos I seem to be
the only one having a problem with it.
Thanks Roberts

Try dsl-v2.1RC3b that is what I was using.
Appears dsl-v2.0 is no go.

I made another adjustment so that it works with v2.0.
Thanks for hanging in there with me, keeping me honest.
I am always running the latest, if not a dev cut, of DSL and failed to check it out on the last stable released version.
But it should work now. Tested on v2.0 base norestore liveCD.
