libEQ discrepancies...

[bioh]

i've recently installed seq
but i'm a little confused as to which distro is ok

take a look :

diggers:/home/bioh/showeq# md5sum /tmp/libEQ*
ddaac48baaa3e9b015984a366748ed72 /tmp/libEQ.a
ddaac48baaa3e9b015984a366748ed72 /tmp/libEQ.a.1
23249b5a6a04f2b900449d9c4aa0994a /tmp/libEQ.a.2

diggers:/home/bioh/showeq# ls -la /tmp/libEQ*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4688 Dec 19 12:16 /tmp/libEQ.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4688 Dec 19 12:16 /tmp/libEQ.a.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6238 Jun 14 2002 /tmp/libEQ.a.2

.a and .a1 is from one source & mirror of it
and .a.2 is another

seq will not compile for me without using .a.2 because its missing FindKey function, which only seems to be present in libEQ.a.2

which definitely does not match the md5 sum posted on your page...

can someone please confirm/deny any of this?

1) If you need help, there is a whole forum for that (I'll leave it as an excercise to you to find it)... might want to look at the sticky thread in the forum you just posted in for clues.

2) The answer is 42. Either provide relevant information, or live with this answer (we need where you got the source, compiler versions, distro, qt versions.. )

3) Search before you post. The FindKey issues have been beaten to death.. there are plenty of existing relevant threads on the matter.

1) not saying i need help, i got seq to compile, running fine.

2) only sites i used to download libEQ where from README.libEQ
only 3 in there :)

i used Casey's qt debian package - worked quite well.
gcc-3.2 though.

3) i'm asking here because the sites you guys provide in the readme have different libEQ versions - that makes no sense.

Yes, i'm quite familiar with search functions :)

EDIT :

i just grabbed the newest copy of seq, from cvs, and it compiled with the libEQ with your posted md5sum...

seems to be running fine.

i think the tarball you guys have on Files section is out of date...?

:)

Yes, the tarball is out of date. It's posted in the announcements section that it may be out of date, but it hasn't been updated since the encryption changes.

The .1, .2, etc. files you have are because wget won't overwrite a file that already exists. Before you wget libEQ.a, delete your current one. Seq will even run without it, just not compile. If you don't rm your old one first, the new ones will just be called libEQ.a.1, .2, etc. and then you'll compile with the old libEQ.a. This is not good.

From the main forum page:


The current md5sum of libEQ.a (28/Oct/02): ddaac48baaa3e9b015984a366748ed72



.a and .a1 is from one source & mirror of it

the *only* official places to get libEQ.a from are in the file README.libEQ


The libEQ.a library may be downloaded from the following sites:
ftp://azriel.trifocus.net/pub/libeq/{arch}/{os}/libEQ.a
ftp://smurfette.trifocus.net/pub/libeq/{arch}/{os}/libEQ.a

where:
{arch} is typically i386
{os} is typically linux


if you arent getting libEQ from there, it is unsupported. The above ftp's are guaranteed to be the up to date correct binaries.
