failed with installation texstudio on Centos 7

[Emily Feng]

Hello everyone,

I had a problem when I tried to install texstudio on my PC.
I followed the installation steps according to the following links:

I successfully installed texlive 2022, but when I try to install the newest version of texstudio-4.5.1-lp154.9.1.x86_64.rmp
It shows the following errors:
Error: Package: texstudio-4.5.1-lp154.9.1.x86_64 (/texstudio-4.5.1-lp154.9.1.x86_64)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I tried the "yum localinstall texstudio-4.5.1-lp154.9.1.x86_64.rpm", but it still showed the same errors.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Those packages are built against a newer glibc/libstdc++ than CentOS 7 provides so they are intended for a newer version of CentOS. You either need to find packages built for CentOS 7 or move to a newer distro - which since CentOS Linux 8 died more than a year ago and there is no CentOS Linux 9 - means using one of the other RHEL rebuilds like Rocky/Alma/OEL.

Where did you find that package? From https://download.opensuse.org/repositor ... eyer/15.4/ ?
There seem to be source packages too, in: https://download.opensuse.org/repositor ... /15.4/src/

The more appropriate way is to take a source package and rebuild binary package from it. Binary built on CentOS 7 does work on CentOS 7.
(I'd look for the source RPM package from the texstudio project rather than some opensuse.)
One should use 'mock' (from EPEL), but in a pinch 'rpmbuild' could suffice. The important point is to build as regular account, never as root.

The "guide" that you did follow gives eerie feeling.
* One does not need 'rpm' -- whenever packages are installed, the 'yum' does the job.
* The texlive is available as RPM packages -- no need to drop anything into /usr/local/


Finally, why texstudio? That "guide" mentions that there are multiple LaTeX editors. The CentOS 7 base repos or EPEL do have some.
(Personally, I do use GNU Emacs with auctex mode, but that is not for everyone.)
