Hi all,
I'm trying to use my blackberry as a tethered modem and am having some difficulties, I'm not quite sure how to set this up in the first place which is probably the majority of my problem
I've installed "barry" but am unable to get barry-utils installed because of this;
Missing Dependency: libboost_serialization.so.2 is needed by package barry-util
I've looked into the provides for that file and apparently it's "boost" which is installed.
boost-1.34.1-5.fc8 boost-1.34.1-5.fc8 boost-devel-1.34.1-5.fc8
(one is i386, one is x86_64 -- that's why it's listed twice)
I've read about XMBlackBerry but am unable to get that installed (more dependency issues)
does anyone have good information on making a blackberry work as a tethered modem on fedora 8?
Thanks!
I had to use Fedora 7 software on Fedora 8 to get past "Missing Dependency: libboost_serialization.so.2 is needed by package barry-util" and make it work. This will method will also clobber your OpenOffice installation. I haven't looked into fixing it so until I do, you do, or someone else does, you'll have to choose between barry working or OpenOffice working but not both. If you are patient enough I'm sure someone or the good folks at barry will package a Fedora 8 version soon. So, continue reading if you want barry util to work more than OpenOffice...
1) Ensure you have every program you need, run this from the command line/terminal: yum install pkgconfig libusb-devel openssl-devel boost-devel libtar libtar-devel gtkmm24-devel glibmm24-devel libglademm24-devel zlib-devel
2) Uninstall boost-1.34.1-5.fc8.i386, libicu-devel & libicu (I had version 3.8-3.fc8.i386), this is where OpenOffice stops working: yum remove boost-1.34.1-5.fc8.i386 libicu-devel libicu
3) Find, download and install: boost-1.33.1-13.fc7.i386.rpm libicu-3.6-18.fc7.i386.rpm
Try installing barry util (barry-util-0.11-1.fc7.i386.rpm) again and it should work. Sorry about your OpenOffice but you've been warned. I'm sure there is a better way to make everything work.
You can just rebuild the SRPM that is posted on the barry website. This way you don't have to remove any other packages (such as boost) and barry will work with libboost_serialization.so.3 that is shipped w/ F8
