Gnomesword fail to install....
 

Hello my fellow geeks....I am trying to install a bible program for gnome which according to author it should work in fedora core 3 but when I yum it I get this error after downloads are completed:I dont want to force the installation and mess up my gnome settings....so any ideas how to work around the conflicts I get??

Bibletime for KDE
 

I had a similar problem and installed Bibletime for KDE instead.
If you're willing to use a KDE version of Bibletime, here's what you need and how to do it:

You'll need:
1. sword-1.5.7-1.fc3.i386.rpm get it from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html

2. bibletime-1.4.1-1.fc3.i386.rpm get it from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html

Then, install sword first and then bibletime, run bibletime and it should work. I did this on FC3 (full install) and it works great. You can even get more modules from the download section of http://www.bibletime.info/index.html

I have attached a screenshot of the KDE version so you'll know what it looks like. The KDE version comes with the King James Version module and the screenshot shows other modules that I have installed.
Hope this works for you :)

Thanks for the help....but could not find the linux modules for me to download. Do you remember the exact link that will take me to the linux modules because all I see is .zip files and window downloads.

UPDATE: After some reading I found the bible modules and once I was done with download I log out and login as root and moved the RAW ZIP file and extracted to /usr/share/sword and changed the folders permissions so I run the bible software and after doing that I was able to see the KJV bible as regular user... :)

I am glad you got it working. I unpacked the .zip modules into my ~/.sword directory (works just as easily) so they would be backed up with my ~/ directory every night :)

By the way, how did you get the square corners on your Bluecurve theme? That looks very nice :D

I am using my entire monitor screen....didnt do anything special.

I got Gnomesword to install on FC2, I think with the these rpms.

That's where the yum repo comes from.....but did not work.

Gnomesword modules
 

anyone know if there is a mirror somewhere with text modules for gnomesword? Or can anyone tell me how to convert the bbl files from e-Sword and import them into GnomeSword?

Got GnomeSword 2.1.2 running on FC4 just fine with yum.. but no modules! crossfire.org is down <?>

crossfire.org web site at least seems to work. And I thought it had some kind of meta server capability, so it gets a list of mirrors. Try again.

I got a dependency error but is installed so I did bibletime again and it works....
