wxPython package install problem

Added by Duncan Sousa over 11 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to install Leginon and Appion on CentOS 6.4 (64 bit). I have run into a problem with wxPython package dependencies that I have not found a solution to. The relevant error lines are below. I have tried updating all the package installers, etc.

  1. yum install wxPython
    ...
    --> Processing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 for package: wxPython-2.8.12.0-1.el5.x86_64
    --> Finished Dependency Resolution
    Error: Package: wxPython-2.8.12.0-1.el5.x86_64 (epel)
    Requires: python(abi) = 2.4
    Installed: python-2.6.6-36.el6.x86_64 (@anaconda-CentOS-201303020151.x86_64/6.4)
    python(abi) = 2.6
    Available: python-2.6.6-37.el6_4.i686 (updates)
    python(abi) = 2.6
    Available: python26-2.6.8-2.el5.x86_64 (epel)
    python(abi) = 2.6
    You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Thanks,
Duncan

Hi Duncan,

It seems that you have installed el5 instead of el6. Run rpm -e epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm to remove epel-release-5 or cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ and remove the file corresponding to epel-5. You can then install extra packages for CentOS 6 using:

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm'

Please let me know if you have questions or need more information.

Hi Sargis,

Thanks for your prompt reply and help! I tried removing my epel install the way you recommended, but it didn't work (see below). I then tried 'yum remove epel-release' and 'rpm --rebuilddb'. Those commands appeared to work so I then ran the reinstall command you recommended. Install of wxPython worked after that.
