Unable to install zathura-djvu on centos 8-stream

Post by dexterdev » 2022/08/07 13:18:57

Sorry for back to back questions here. I am still struggling with very basic software installations etc. Please see my attempts to install zathura djvu reader below:

Code: Select all

$ sudo dnf -y install zathura-djvu

No match for argument: zathura-djvu
Error: Unable to find a match: zathura-djvu
I am looking forward to some help. :) thank you

There may not be an rpm for it. You can try building one from a Fedora srpm though as you say you're new to this, that may not be practical. For what it's worth on Alma9, to build zathura-pdf-mudf, I needed the zathura-devel package as well as zathura.
Building from another version's srpm has its own risks, but if you're running stream, one makes the assumption that stability isn't your greatest concern.
I have a small page on building from srpms at https://srobb.net/rpmbuild.html

If you do try it, I want to stress adding the mockbuild user and mock group, as otherwise, you may wind up building as root, which has far more potential of wrecking your system.

Ok I understand that this is complicated. Suggest me a djvu reader. I will install the easiest one.

As I'm not familiar with djvu, I can't personally recommend any. However, typing centos djvu reader into a search engine (startpage in my case), brings a multitude of hits, including some that do seem to have rpm packages. I'd suggest browsing that and seeing if any look good to you.

(I also like zathura, I use zathura-pdf-mupdf for ebooks and pdfs. It is one though, where I had to build it, as well as some of its dependencies, from srpms).

what do you mean about "nothing works"?

it reports to be installed

open it and open your document

there is a browser plugin for it

Code: Select all

$ djvulibre
bash: djvulibre: command not found...
This is what I meant. It doesn't open once I try it from terminal. No I don't want a browser plugin. I want an independent document viewer or evince to work to view djvu files.

The package is called djvulibre, the executables are not. Look at rpm -ql djvulibre
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
