This question already has an answer here:

I'm trying to install puttygen on an Amazon Linux server. puttygen is provided by the putty package available in EPEL, but installation fails with it unable to find several required C libraries:

Error: Package: putty-0.63-7.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0()(64bit)
Error: Package: putty-0.63-7.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libatk-1.0.so.0()(64bit)
Error: Package: putty-0.63-7.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0()(64bit)
Error: Package: putty-0.63-7.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0()(64bit)

Currently I'm installing putty on a Centos 6 box, then copying the binary /usr/bin/puttygen on to the Amazon Linux box. This works for my use-case, but I'm not keen on circumventing the package manager in this way. Is there a 'proper' way of doing things?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

  • Looks like you need to use yum install libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 on the AWS Linux box and then install puttygen – ryekayo Jan 4 '17 at 13:54
  • @ryekayo trying that command gives me "No package libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 available.". What repository are you able to access it in? – Chris Midgley Jan 4 '17 at 13:57
  • This question has the same goal as the named duplicate, but this OP cannot run puttygen because they cannot install putty. – Jeff Schaller Jan 4 '17 at 15:25
