Hi,
can't get viewnior running. A lib is missing in v6.x - 5.x works. Tried any option in apps but no missing lib is displayed.

viewnior.tcz needs recompiling for 6.x.

You can edit its .dep file to load libffi5.tcz instead of libffi.tcz as a temporary solution.

How can i edit the file?

something like "vi /mnt/sdb1/tce/optional/viewnior.tcz.dep"

The dep-file did not contain libffi.tcz. Adding libffi5.tcz didn't change anything :-(

Try loading it manually

tce-load -i libffi5.tcz

Next time you load viewnior.tcz, libffi5.tcz will be loaded too.
This wont happen if viewnior.tcz.dep is changed after viewnior.tcz was loaded.

libffi5.tcz is not found......

It needs to be downloaded first

tce-load -w libffi5.tcz
tce-load -i libffi5.tcz

MANY THANKS! works now.....
it seems that tce-load -wi libffi5.tcz is all we need, no need to edit the deb-file.

If you edit your dep file, you won't need to remember why it won't run, until it gets rebuild.
I use Viewnior a lot. (:

I will update viewnior to 1.5

Will the new build run without the additional install of libffi5.tcz?
