How can I install any software if they break libpng/jpeg?

So much software I install either through AUR or pacman requires libpng or whatnot to be a specific version, but when I upgrade them, it never fails to crash everything. Libpng and jpeg fail to run claiming x.12.so is not found and I need to run a rollback to install the original version of libpng/jpeg I have.
I have libjpeg 7-1 and libpng 1.2.40-1, an example of the thing I'm installing requires QT, which requires: libpng-1.4.0-2  libjpeg-8-2 which breaks all my other applications, gimp, my photo viewer and even X if I restart!
What on earth is wrong? Is there something I'm missing, or can I 'force' the AUR install (with pkgbuild) to not download libpng or whatnot? or trick it into using my current one? It just makes no sense, that so many applications would make me fail like that.

2). Rebuild your AUR packages as required.
I bet you my life's savings that many of the software on here would break if I did that, I've done it before and managed to need to have to reinstall Arch 2-3 times because of stupid things breaking. I can't do it..
Why does it break if i'm going to a newer version, do any of the programs actually run on 'libjpeg' and NOT 'libjpeg x.x.x' ..?  I don't get why they do that.
Even if I do update, GIMP for example is already up to date, yet it breaks if I install libjpeg, how would it fix that?
I've tried.. what's it called, symbolic linking or something but I couldn't get it right, how would I be able to use a method like this or other to let the package work?

  • How can i install any program using java code

     
    Hi friends,
    i want to know how can i install any software using c# code.

    Hi,
    You may change your title, Since this is C# forum.

    usingc# code
    So what kind of your software?
    In C#,we can install and uninstall "*.msi" files (setup).
    The code to install software without user interface is:
    private void installSoftware()
    Process p = new Process();
    p.StartInfo.FileName = "msiexec.exe";
    p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/i \"C:\\Application.msi\"/qn";
    p.Start();

  • Can we install any softwares in i pad like auto cadd, catia

         can we install any softwares in i pad like auto cadd, catia

    You can only install apps/programs that are available in the iTunes App Store on your computer, or the App Store app on the iPad. 'Normal' PC or Mac (OS X) software cannot be installed on the iPad (iOS) as they are not compatible. So if they have app versions in the store you can install them (but the iPad is probably not powerful enough for sophisticated CAD), otherwise there are some apps that allow you to remotely connect to a PC or Mac

    Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

    Serial numnbers are platform specific so you will not be able to use it for the Mac if it was initially designated for a PC.  YOu will need to perform a platform swap.  See the following for information:

    You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

    The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.

  • Can't install any software on my T61p laptop?

    I have an issue with installing any software programs to my Lenovo Laptop. I have checked the CD ROM - diagnostics etc. The tests passed with flying colors. The music CD works great. I am using Windows XP.
    I am sure that there is nothing wrong with a CD ROM because when I restore the system from the backup I did back in 3/19/2008 - it records any software that I like to install. I am using all the original installation CD's.
     I don't want to keep it in the that state from 3/19/2008 because I would loose all my files plus I had a wireless Netgear installed which it was painful to install in a first place. I like to keep the setting I currently have and files but I NEED THIS CD ROM TO WORK.
    I have tried to recover software from the 3/19/2008 date but they don't work either. Besides what is the point of not having not operational CD/RAM. I read online that sometimes VIRUS can reset the settings for installing software, but how this is possible. Why the Windows XP allows to switch such important settings.
    I also checked the properties of CD/ROM for enable, disable and they set as enable. What is stopping recording on this laptop in the state I am in now. I have a virus software - no viruses either.
    I have been dealing with this for 3 weeks now and I am out of ideas. I have called Lenovo and they said that they only deal with hardware issues. I have this computer less then 7 months and I have 2 year assistance from Lenovo.
    I would appreciate if maybe some Lenovo Technical Rep would read this note so he/she can offer some ideas to deal with this issue. I do not want to restore this computer to factory settings or 3/19/2008 (then I am sure the CD/ROM would work)
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi - thanks for trying to help me.
    1. I have received the computer on 3/05/2008. I have installed Adobe Photoshop, Picture Studio, Outlook Express, MC Word, Power Point, Excel, Business Cards creator, Symantec Antivirus and bunch of other programs that I had original CD's. At the time I had DSL- Cable internet Connection. I also, did all the Windows Updates and Lenovo Updates. I had Windows XP installed already as operating system by Lenovo.
    2. On 3/19/2008 I did a backups so the info with all the programs working properly were stored in computer's memory on drive C.
    3. On 10/10/2008 I have installed a Wireless Netgear with a help of Netgear support team. I have turned all the wireless radio's on, setup a network etc. I did not do any backup at the time.
    4. On 11/10/2008 the Symantec Antivirus cought a virus - Trojan Horse and stored in a Quarantine. Later on that day I wanted to open Adobe Photoshop to cut some pictures and graphics and the program was "FREEZING". I have tried to open Business Card Creator program and it was FREEZING as well.
    I did a full system virus scan to make sure there is no viruses left. It was showing that one stored in quarantine. I also did a spyware scan LavaSoft - Advare and Seach and Destroy spyware. Some was removed. The programs were still freezing. The internet worked OK plus Outlook Express. I tried to figured out what to do for a few days.
    5. 11/14/08 - I have removed the Adobe Photoshop and Business Card Reader from Add/Remove programs feature. Then I have restarted a computer. I figured since I have original CD's so I will reinstall them. I have placed a CD in CD/ROM and I hear the reading but when I hit the install the CD was just spinning. It refuses to record anything. I click next/install so I can place registration numbers and I see no screen. Same with other CD. It freezes.
    Well, then I tough that maybe the CD is damaged, so I have put it in another desktop computer that I have and it installs it super - no problems. Same as other program.
    6. Then I tried to play a music on the Lenovo laptop- well, it works OK.
    7. Then I decided to use ThinkVantage feature and see if any error that I might have on Windows or maybe CD drive will be shown on diagnostics. It took a while while a detail process was completed and no error's found. I also did a VIRUS Scan that is offered on ThinkVantage on Lenovo (no virus found). Then I did a system backup 11/14/2008 -  figured just in case.
    8. Well, then I thought I try again with any other installation CD - just any that might work and install something for a try on a laptop and nothing. It spins and no installation boxes, no features (most of the time it freezes the laptop).
    9. Next, I tried to restore only a program from a previous backup from 3/19/2008. I have chosen Adobe Photoshop that worked great on 3/19/2008. Nothing - does not work at all.
    10. Next on 12/05/2008 - I did a full system restore to 3/19/2008. I figured that I had nothing important on laptop that I need plus maybe I can reinstall a Wireless Netgear with a help of Netgear CD and instruction booklet. Plus it would give me a chance to test a CD/ROM if it works.
    11. Surprise! After restoration of the Windows XP to a state from 3/19/2008 I have noticed that Adobe Photoshop is on it and it works great. Does not freezes and works great. Then I have installed a few new programs that I never needed in a first place on that laptop but I figured I need to test them if they install anyway. They install with a ease. Next, I have deleted Adobe Photoshop from Add/Remove feature of Windows XP and restarted a computer. Well, Surprise again! The CD installs Adobe Photoshop with an ease - no problems. Boxes for registration copy come on. Completes the process - fully installed. I have shut down and restarted a computer to be sure that it works - open's up, loads and I can use it on any picture.
    12. 12/05/2008 - I tried to reinstall my wireless internet connection. (I could connect to DSL internet with a cable). I placed a CD follow the prompts. I kept the same names on the network I had before since I figured it is less confusion. Well, it was a pain. It was late then anyway plus I know that Netgear gives you 3 months of any support for free once you buy a product and after that you have to pay per accident.
    13. 12/07/2008 - I was so tired with trying to work that Netgear so I have restored the system to 11/14/2008 state from my C: backup. I was curious that maybe I can look at some network features and see what I have been doing wrong.
    14. 12/07/2008 - I came back to the same state. Internet works, Outlook Express works but Adobe Photoshop is gone since I deleted it on 11/14/2008. I think if it was on it it would freezes anyway. Again, I try to install a CD - any CD and nothing.
    Sorry that this is a bit confusing but I tough that at least I can show a process what I exactly did. My question is - is there any feature on Windows XP that prevents from installing a software? Did maybe the virus caused to block it?
    I have also tried to look under Drive DVD/CD-RW /Properties to see if I have enabled or disabled any recording features. It says the device is working properly.
    I have checked a C: Drive properties to see if anything is checked disabled - nothing that I could not find .
    Honestly, this is a first time that I could not figured out what is wrong. I am not so technical in terms of networks but I use computers a lot and I can set basic features and use many graphic programs.
    If anyone can offer me some suggestions I really appreciate. If I can fix that I would have to restore to 3/19/2008 because the CD/ROM was installing then and maybe call Wireless Netgear people so they can walk me through again and pay them the fee.
    Thanks.

  • I can't install any software

    i receive an error message with every software that i install, even my phone update. these are sis apps, so i thought they would install. any knowledge on this is welcome. thanks

    Find your Application Manager on your phone menu. Go to setting, and check the first option, you have "Signed Only" or "All", set it to all. (You can only do this if you have a S60 phone)
    If still doesnt work, try removing your memory card and try again. If still not working format your phone memory by typing *#7370# on your standby mode (remember to backup your data because that will delete everything in your phone - DO NOT include settings option on the backup). That should do.

  • I need OS  Lion to make my computer run, but I dont have it in my apple acount, and the computer just ask me for that, how can I install hte software if the only way is using apple id?

    I need OS lion, to run my the computer, I made a restore trying to install mountain lion, but the computer doesnt allow me, it ask me for the OS LION, and I dont have it in my apple account, how to I install it? Help!!!!

    So it sounds as though you wiped your drive and it can't find the system (OS startup) folder because there is none (folder with ?).
    One more question: did your machine come with Lion?? Or did you purchase it at the app store? If it came with the machine, then it would not show in the app store.
    You tried recovery and said it "made an internet recovery" - when you booted up with Command + R, did you at first see a spinning globe? If not, there was no internet recovery. Try restarting with Command + Option + R - on older machines, that is internet recovery (if your machine supports it). You should wind up with a screen like this:
    Is this what you saw before? You can erase your drive in Disk Utility. When done, you need to click on Reinstall OS X - it will then go to Apple's servers and download the entire OS. Once downloaded (may take a while unless you have a blazing connection), it will install. It should also recreate a new recovery partition.

  • Can't Install Any Software for Zen Mi

    Recently, I had to reformat my computer and I was in the process of reinstalling all of my programs and software. I was attempting to install the latest version of Creative MediaSource (3.30.2) and after the installer was unpacked, the program prompted me with a message saying no compatible device could be found. Meanwhile, I had the MP3 player plugged in and it was being recognized by my computer. I could access its files through Explorer and I could also access the files contained on it through Windows Media Player .
    So I tried to install the Creative Jukebox plugin .30.03 and then do the installation again. Once more, I received the same error message and could not get the program to install. I also tried to install the latest version of the Zen Micro Media Explorer (although I don't want or plan to use this software), but I received an identical message.
    I am wondering what could be the problem here. I have my Zen flashed to the latest firmware, the Plays-For-Sure version. I do have my original Zen Micro CD, but I would prefer to not have to install and older driver or version of MediaSource and the upgrade. However, I don't really know what my options are. Can anyone give me some help?
