Fedora Installation :: 11need More Libraries And Plugins
Jul 7, 2009
I recently got Fedora 11, I've heard it's not the best distro to learn Linux with, but I'm liking it so far, and having a good time
I've gotten the OS up, network works, and I'm using it now. So I'm trying to get a few plugins and applications and I'm having some trouble. Main two I'm working on right now are Adobe Flash Player and Wine. I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it didn't register that I had it on Firefox.
I took my laptop to best buy, and after about a half an hour, they said I was missing these libraries/plugins:
I have been using Eclipse to program in Java for a long time, and have been using Jigloo for most of my GUI design. Recently I decided to try out the C/C++ plugin. I tried installing it, but it did not work. After many attempts, I finally gave up. However, after uninstalling it I found that Jigloo had stopped working. Any other plugins I try to install now also don't work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling plugins, and reinstalling eclipse, but nothing I have done fixes it. Although eclipse says that the software has been installed, nothing shows up in the features list or the plugins list.
Another problem: When I install eclipse from the repositories, it doesn't install a bunch of libraries and eclipse cannot recognize standard java files.
I'm doing a kickstart install of Fedora 14 and can't seem to get the php plugins. I've looked through the F14 repositories and I can't find them either. I hope I'm missing something...
I have just installed from the Live Cd (Fedora 13). So far so good except that I have just installed the updates (which has taken some time) .
The updater screen shows a full progress bar and next to the progress bar is this text " checking for libraries currently in use" this has been at least one hour showing the same thing, it hasn't changed (PC is still running OK). Does this mean I can safely quit and the updates will be OK or should I keep waiting for a reboot screen or updates success message ? Is this normal, if so how long does it usually take to complete?
I am a Fedora neophyte, upgrading a web server from Fedoras core 5 to Fedora 13. I finally got Apache and perl up and running, but my Perl scripts don't run because of the lack of Perl libraries.I have been able to use yum install thus far to get what I need which is a terrific tool when it works. I note there is a specific tool named 'cpan', and of course one can download libraries directly from the cpan.org website.Unfortunately, I have tried to download perl libaries from yum the cpan library from yum, and in each case I get:
[URL]
And it has tried maybe 20 mirrors, alway with the same result. What is the best way you experienced Fedora types have found to download and install perl libraries (like LWP for starters)?
I installed a software that is used for modeling purpose. After installation, it showed me the following error.
error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3
I hope i need to install some libraries. While i searched in google, i found some postings telling i should intall libmotif3 and some postings telling that openmotif should be installed. I dnt know what to do now as i dnt find both these libraries when i try to install with yum.
Someone kindly write me how to get this libXm.so.3 installed in fedora10.
I am trying to install kcachegrind and during the ./configure phase I got the following error: Checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
Now I guess I have QT installed and I tried to do the following: ./configure --with-qt-includes=/usr/lib64/qt4/include but that did not work either.. actually checking further I found that the folder include is missing in usr/lib64/qt4/ !!!!
I installed MATLAB R2009a in my laptop (Fedora 14 x86-64), the installation was succesful but when I run MATLAB (in a console), appears a message: error while loading shared libraries: libut.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied
I find a "solution", execute in a terminal: execstack -c libut.so
I used several times with differents libraries that I needed, but I run MATLAB in a terminal, MATLAB starts in a terminal, only a prompt ">>" and nothing.

Trying to launch Second Life gives the following error message:
You are running the Second Life Viewer on a x86_64 platform. The most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly 'bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: not found' and 'error while loading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux
This problem was easily found using search with solutions for Fedora 11.
The following information has been found for adding the 32 bit support to Fedora 11 but it does not work in Fedora 12.
The file created in the instructions below is a list of the 32 bit libraries. It is then called as input to yum to simply install them.
"Add the Libraries Next, add the 32-bit libraries by copying the following list, and pasting it into a text file. Save it as �Fedora-ia32.txt�."
Another post says that was all unnecessary as the following commands would do the same thing.
Could have simply been achieved by calling:$ yum install SDL.i586...(Or by selecting SDL.i586 in add/remove programs.)
The problem I have with Fedora 12 are neither of these will install anything in Fedora 12. Looking at add/remove programs does not yield anthing that looks like it is 32 bit support when searching with the argument "SDL".
Does anyone know how to install 32 bit support into Fedora 12 64 bit version ? I like the simple yum expression rather than long lists like the first example uses, but I'll try anything if it works.
A side question to this entire experiment is what chance would you give to Second Life being able to be run remotely using VNC? I would think if it runes on the Linux machine, using a remote terminal would have little impact. Using VNC isn't the usual way this will be run, I just wonder if it would work at all.
Why many Linux distros are trying to use always the latest versions of the libraries and don't save the old libraries for compatibility? I mean, I can see libtiff for example, i can found a libtiff.so.5 on my /usr/lib, but doesn't store a libtiff.so.4 or 3 just for binary applications or games. For this example, I need libtiff.so.4 for uplink.
That should happen too on the old version of sims for linux, some ID games or others.What's wrong with storing old libraries? PD: Yay, my first post on 3 years!
I tried to install Fedora 12 on my machine using the Fedora-12-i386-DVD and get the following error: /sbin/load_policy:error while loading shared libraries: lib/libsepol.so.1: cannot read the file data:input/output error exec of anaconda failed install exited abnormally [1/1]
Is there any way to use a dynamic libraries as a static libraries instead when compiling, so that my resulting executable won't have them as dependencies?
I'm on Fedora 13 and I have Chromium installed. How do I get more plugins like mplayer or vlc working? I installed firefox to test and gecko-mediaplayer, vlc, and more appear in aboutlugins from firefox but chrome only shows flash and mozplugger. I tried linking all of the plugins from the firefox directory to the chrome plugins directory but no luck.
There are no Graphical User Interfaces showing up for DSSI Music Instruments.
This was the reason why ...

I have been trying to get the Editor to appear for DSSI-synths in Rosegarden for a long time. But no success. The same problem happens with jack-dssi-host and ghostess. Tried to put the hostname in /etc/hosts. Even tried with KDE.
But then I realized that I had no file /etc/hostname. Everything else worked anyway. So I made one, and put the hostname in it. And - halleluja - I have Editors!
So obviously these things (OSC?) looks for the file /etc/hostname.
Giving Gnome DO a try but haven't been able to get any of the plugin's I selected to work. Also, any opinions on Cairo Dock vs DO in Docky mode? Which is more MAC like? Cairo has lots of settings and options seem like too many?
I am running fedora 13 and am having problems installing Java and Adobe Flash player to work on firefox. Whenever I try Java, it says plugin not avalible, and whenever I try Adobe, it says that it failed. Im sorry if this was posted before, I did look for it.
I just installed F14 (upgraded from F13), and I wanted to install the PHP plugin for KDevelop, but yum reports no plugin packages. A friend has openSUSE and he found the plugins in the repos. Have the plugins not been packaged for Fedora yet? I just want to know that before I install them from source.
I installed Cairo Dock for ubuntu 9.10 and I downloaded the plugins and extracted them to a folder. How do you install the plugins? I downloaded cairo-dock-plugins-2.1.3-2.tar.gz. When the download finished, I opened the folder and it requested I extract them, which I did. But I don't know how to use them.
I had just downloaded and installed Ubuntu. I had to manually install the Software Center. So I did that and installed a bunch of things including OpenJDK and its browser plugins. OpenJDK caused trouble in a game I play, so I installed Sun instead. However, that's the old version. I followed the above instructions, removed the old verisons and attempted to install the plugins. But unless I use the Software Center, it doesn't work. I'm cutting and pasting exactly and nothing shows up in my aboutlugin screen.
After installing ggobi from the Lucid repositories, I get a bunch of errors on running it, all to do with not finding plugins, e.g.** (ggobi:10070): CRITICAL **: Error on loading plugin library plugins/ DataViewer/ plugin. la: (null)Sure enough the plugins aren't available when ggobi loads.
So after I upgraded to 10.10 some of my compiz plugins stopped working. Atlantis and anaglyph give me an error like this when I enable them in CCSM (I ran compiz from a terminal to see the output):
I've just come from a website that had mpeg and x-aiff audio files, neither of which Firefox would play. I got the "missing plugins" banner, but when I clicked on install I was told nothing suitable was available.I was able to play the files, by downloading with Download Helper and playing in Rhythmbox, but surely there should be some plugin?
whenever i opened some site that require some flash player plugin to play some video etc.It shows download plug-in when i click on it , firefox can't find respective plugin and there is option for manual install.
In that case i have downloaded flash plug-in from adobe website and install it with package installer.But again showing same problem...means download plug-in .
There is a thread in this forum that points to this website [URL] as a place for good directions on getting the new Java and the new Firefox to cooperate with one another. I followed it and was unable to get that to happen. To test it I used the official U.S. clock website. Don't quite know what to ask, except what did I do wrong? I following the directions to the letter, but in the "aboutlugins" part, Java doesn't show up.
