告诉rpm使用较新版本的依赖项

Question

I have an RPM that requires TBB >= 4, however on aws linux I only have tbb 2.x. I have compiled tbb 4.3 from source and places the files in /usr/include/tbb & /usr/include/serial/tbb .

If I now manually try to install with rpm -ivh , the install fails with a message

error: Failed dependencies:
        tbb >= 4 is needed by xxx.rpm

So how can I tell the install that the new version is available in /usr/include/tbb?

thx Art

Answer 1

If you are installing an RPM that requires TTB >= 4, then presumably there exists in the same source a necessary version of TBB. Otherwise, it sounds like you are trying to mix and match RPMs from different sources in ways that are almost guaranteed to cause problems.

You need to either (a) install a package that contains the necessary dependency information to satisfy TBB version requirement, or (b) you need to install everything from source instead of a single dependency.

While you could build a package yourself satisfying (a), the fact that you have an rpm with this requirement suggests that such a package already exists.

Trying to combine the two practices (install from package vs. install from source) is only going to cause sadness and doom.
