libMagick.so.9 is needed by opendx-4.4.4-1.i386?
01/09/07 at 21:18:47

Hello all:

My system is the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0.
I try to install OpenDx on my machine however I met the following error message during the installation

=>> I have downloaded two versions of OpenDx and try them for my Redhat Enterprise 4.0
[root@ddd]# ls *.rpm
opendx-4.3.2-1.rh9.rpm opendx-4.4.4-1.fc5-i386.rpm

=>> First, I used the following command to install OpenDx.
[root@ddd]# rpm -Uvh opendx-4.4.4-1.fc5-i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libMagick.so.9 is needed by opendx-4.4.4-1.i386
libXm.so.4 is needed by opendx-4.4.4-1.i386
libgs.so.8 is needed by opendx-4.4.4-1.i386

==> Then I tried to install with no dependence
[root@ddd]# rpm -Uvh --nodeps opendx-4.4.4-1.fc5-i386.rpm
==> I got the following errors
[root@ddd IMPACT]# dx
/usr/local/dx/bin_linux/startupui: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

==> Third, I try to install the other version
[root@ddd IMPACT]# rpm -Uvh opendx-4.3.2-1.rh9.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package opendx-4.4.4-1 (which is newer than opendx-4.3.2-1) is already installed
[root@ddd IMPACT]# rpm -e opendx-4.4.4-1.fc5-i386.rpm
error: package opendx-4.4.4-1.fc5-i386.rpm is not installed

==> Finally, I found I cannot uninstall the OpenDx from my system
[root@ddd IMPACT]# rpm -e opendx-4.4.4-1.fc5-i386.rpm
error: package opendx-4.4.4-1.fc5-i386.rpm is not installed

So my question is
1> how to solve the installation problem?

2> how to uninstall my OpenDx with incomplete installation procedure?

Thank you very much

hello, I think the versin is not the problem.
before you install, you should install the ImageMagick and some other softwares which are need by opendx, you can find them in README file.

If you do have them, you can just make some links to solve your problem, something like: ln -s /usr/lib/libMagick.so.9 /usr/lib/libMagick.so.6
