create own mpfr rpm conflicts with gmp
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:12 EST
Becouse I plan the inclussion of abakus to Fedora Extras I have create a own rpm file of mpfr-2.1.2. Unfortunately, gmp contains an ancient version of mpfr, which coused a comflict, when I try to install the create mpfr rpm. The version of mpfr included in gpm is useless for me, becouse abakus requires a more recent version of mpfr. Suggested Solution: Set --disable-mpfr in the SPEC file of gmp. Best Regards: Jochen Schmitt
Where exactly is the conflict?
This issue will somehow be resolved when you update in future package from 4.1.4 version to currently 4.2.1. When we look into the NEWS file, we can read: Changes between GMP version 4.1.4 and 4.2 * mpfr is gone, and will from now on be released only separately. Please see www.mpfr.org. When you do it, they won't be conflict betwen gmp and abakus.
I have done myself a package for GMP. The conflicts are: file /usr/include/mpf2mpfr.h from install of mpfr-devel-2.2.0-2.fc5 conflicts with file from package gmp-devel-4.1.4-6 file /usr/include/mpfr.h from install of mpfr-devel-2.2.0-2.fc5 conflicts with file from package gmp-devel-4.1.4-6 file /usr/share/info/mpfr.info.gz from install of mpfr-devel-2.2.0-2.fc5 conflicts with file from package gmp-devel-4.1.4-6 file /usr/include/mpf2mpfr.h from install of mpfr-devel-2.2.0-2.fc5 conflicts with file from package gmp-devel-4.1.4-6.2.1 file /usr/include/mpfr.h from install of mpfr-devel-2.2.0-2.fc5 conflicts with file from package gmp-devel-4.1.4-6.2.1 file /usr/share/info/mpfr.info.gz from install of mpfr-devel-2.2.0-2.fc5 conflicts with file from package gmp-devel-4.1.4-6.2.1
Sorry for having changed the status to ASSIGNED. I will revert that. Sorry for the two extras messages.
It would be nice that this bug is fixed soon. I would like to package CGAL_python, but it requires shared libraries of mpfr (to dlopen stuffs), that cannot be packaged separately because of the current bug.
As I said in bug 199550: GCC-4.3 will require MPFR >= 2.2.0, so this will have to get fixed.
Actually, the gmp package ships mpfr-2.2.0+patches, since 4.1.4-8. See related bugs: bug #211762 and bug #218041. Jochen, does the current version of gmp, in FC-6 and FC-devel fits your needs?
Yes
Well, this bug is actually a dup of bug #211762, where the same subjects are discussed: - upgrade of mpfr shipped in gmp, - or split of mpfr and gmp. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 211762 ***
