[mel-discuss] Minor installation issues with MEL kit for PandaBoard

[Stefan Seefeld]

Hello,

I have just downloaded the MEL kit for PandaBoard (from
http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/downloads/linux-kits/) and
attempted to install it on my Fedora 16 laptop.

Unfortunately the process wasn't quite as smooth as I had hoped. In
particular, the installer tries to determine whether all prerequisites
are installed. In my case, that's (lines 228 et seqq.):

     lib1=`yum list glibc | grep 'i[0-9]86' | grep -e "installed"`
     lib2=`yum list *gtk* | grep 'i[0-9]86' | grep -e "installed"`
     if [ -z "$lib1" ] || [ -z "$lib2" ]; then
        echo "ERROR: 32-bit libraries required for this installer are
missing. Please follow instructions below and restart the installer."
        ...

when the actual output of `yum list glibc` would be:

glibc.i686    2.14.90-24.fc16.6    @updates
glibc.x86_64  2.14.90-24.fc16.6    @updates

and likewise that of `yum list "*gtk*"`.
Knowing that my system provided those prerequisites, I simply commented
out the two bad lines in the installer, and everything ran to completion.

Thanks,
		Stefan
