Gscan2pdf

Post by mfsmoura » 2014/11/11 09:22:16

Hi. Until last week I was a unconditional fan of Ubuntu but, after trying CentOS 7 in my laptop (Gnome interface), I became very interested on this distribution version. The majority of the software that I use is functioning well except Gscan2pdf. I already activated epel repository but I still cant´n install it via yum. I think that in CentOS version 6 gscan2pdf has no problems. After trying a local install (gscan2pdf-1.2.6-1.noarch.rpm) in my 64 bit system the errors that I get are:
--> Finished Dependency Resolution

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Thank you for your attention.

You can't just take a random rpm that was built for a different distro and install it on CentOS 7. That shows it wants perl 5.18 and CentOS 7 has 5.16 so it will not work. If you want to use this then you will need to get the SRPM for that and rebuild it on your system to produce a binary rpm that you can install.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

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