Installing Eagle (5.12) on Fedora 17 (64bit)

Eagle is only provided as a 32bit package for linux, even as of version 6.3. I’m still using 5.x, for compatibility reasons, so I was trying to get it installed on my newish Fedora 17 64 bit install. Eagle’s #1 FAQ item is how to do this, but it’s for fedora 10, and some of the packages have changed. You also don’t need to install as many, as some of them will be pulled in as dependencies.

  • glibc.i686
  • libXrender.i686
  • libXrandr.i686
  • libXcursor.i686
  • freetype.i686
  • fontconfig.i686
  • libXi.i686
  • libpng-compat.i686
  • libjpeg-turbo.i686
  • libstdc++.i686
  • openssl-devel.i686

There, much better.

  1. Fedora 19: Works!

    But:

    linpng-compat.i686 not found (and not used)

    and I added:

    openssl-devel.i686

    Thank you very much for the info! :)

  2. Was a typo in linpng-compat, was meant to be libpng-compat, thanks for the fix :)
