Fail to install PlasticSCM client on CentOS 8

[Ofirk]

Hi,

Following the Linux installation instructions (https://www.plasticscm.com/plastic-for-linux) I get the following error:

Same error for the complete package.

[ofirk@CentOS-8 ~]$

 

Please advise what am I missing.

Hi Ofir,

I'm afraid CentOS 8 has dropped compatibility with Gnome2, which we use for our interfaces and that is preventing you from downloading the graphical client. Maybe you could try to add the repos for CentOS7 and try to download the library there, but I'm not sure if it is going to be possible.

You should be able to install the command line client and the server though, but you have to do it separately.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,

Héber.

Heber thanks,

I need the GUI, CLI is not an option.

I'll try your suggestion regarding CentOS 7 repos.
