Thanks FLO,
Hi Rusty,
so you mind posting your reply to the mailing list again? It is
considered good form to have workarounds for problems visible in the
list archives :D
Honestly, I'm just a bit overwhelmed about
linux sometimes, so I
wanted to wine a little bit. But, I suppose I could give fixing it a
try.
Actually, after some googling, I've noticed that there are a few bug
reports already filed.
So,
about option 1a. Am I creating a file with those lines in it, or just
executing those commands and the desired outcomes will occur?
Yes, try these commands in a terminal. They might ask you for your
password (note the "sudo" in front of two of them)..
I apologize, I'm really new at this.
I think that's probably where I am right now, entering a few commands,
or creating a script to take care of the problem. I wouldn't even know
where to begin recompiling.
You mention that1a s the quick and dirty solution.
Are there any problems which could arise?
Well, it's generally considered bad to use a workaround like this. It
should really be fixed in the package. Also we're creating a symbolic
link from one installed library to pretend another version is installed.
This CAN lead to problems later ,on, but it should work well enough to
run freewheeling now.
Have fun,
Flo
