Problem with installing Kmplot. "libopenexr2c2a_1.2.2-4.3ubuntu2_i386.deb" doesn't install.

Asked by Edi Amin

I downloaded all the neccessary modules for installing Kmplot( not by the Synaptic, manually one by one component). But libopenexr2c2a_1.2.2-4.3ubuntu2_i386.deb does not install. If I try to install it by double click and then give password, then it shows almost 100% installation, but at the end it shows installation failed. Also it shows terminal, but there is no error message on it. Note, that the installtion manager says "Satisfied all dependecies", that is I don't have problem with its dependency components. People, who are experienced in this field, please give me a solution.

Edi Amin,

kmplot is already available in the (K)ubuntu repository.
You can directly install it from synaptic or from command line using the following code:
sudo apt-get install kmplot

With Regards,
Zombie.

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Heron, downloaded the ISO version from internet. The DVD from the ISO doesn't content Kmplot. Now please read my problem described above, and give a solution. All I want to say, I downloaded this component from internet, but can't get installed.

To find out why libopenexr2c2a_1.2.2-4.3ubuntu2_i386.deb cannot be installed, you can do the following:

- open a terminal window
- cd into the directory where you saved libopenexr2c2a_1.2.2-4.3ubuntu2_i386.deb
- run the command dpkg -i libopenexr2c2a_1.2.2-4.3ubuntu2_i386.deb

You will get an error message, and I guess the error will be: libopenexr2ldbl conflicts with libopenexr2c2a

The reason is that libopenexr2c2a is the libopenexr2 version for Gutsy. As you mentioned above you are using Hardy, you will need to use the Hardy version: libopenexr2ldbl. Most likely that is already installed on your system and it conflicts with the Gutsy version.

Now I assume you have no Internet connection on this PC, and that's why you cannot use synaptic or apt-get install to install kmplot. If that is correct, you can run the command "sudo apt-get -s install kmplot" (note the -s). This will simulate the installation, and gives you a list of packages needed to install kmplot and the right version numbers for your system.

Can you help with this problem?
