FC5 rpm on FC4 *weirdo* issue

Installation
1

i’ve tried (whistling and assuming a innocent expression) to install onto my FC4 the 1.2.1 FC5 rpm and this is what I got:


error: Failed dependencies:
   libcrypto.so.6 is needed by panda3d-1.2.1-1.i386
   libssl.so.6 is needed by panda3d-1.2.1-1.i386

I know that i can chisel it quieting those messages but I’m just curious:

  1. why Panda needs those libraries?
  2. Is it safe to ignore those dependancies???
2

These libraries are part of OpenSSL, which Panda uses to handle some optional features, such as encryption. It is possible to build a version of Panda that does not depend on OpenSSL (and does not provide these optional features), but the version that is pre-built and available on this site has this dependency compiled in.

Last time I tried to install FC4, it didn’t install correctly. I’ll try it again. If I can get it to install, I’ll release an FC4 RPM.

I uploaded a fedora core 4 RPM this morning. I haven’t tested it, let me know if it works.

the installation process has gone smooth like silk
* a note to everybody passing from 1.1.0 to 1.2.1: remember to rpm --erase the 1.1.0 before install the new one!
by the way, testing the samples I’ve found a little bug in

$ /usr/share/panda3d/samples/Feature-Tutorials–Render-To-Texture


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Tut-Render-To-Texture.py", line 115, in ?
    w=World()
  File "Tut-Render-To-Texture.py", line 47, in __init__
    self.altCam=base.makeCamera(altBuffer)

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'makeDisplayRegion'

Happy to see that the old bugs in various tutorials though have been all wipped off!

keep it up the great work!!!
