Fedora Installation :: Cant Find Source Code After Installation
Jun 8, 2010
I followed the steps from [url] to download and install the kernel source code.
"Following Generic Textbooks
Many of the tutorials, examples, and textbooks about Linux kernel development assume the kernel sources are installed under the /usr/src/linux/ directory. If you make a symbolic link, as shown below, you should be able to use those learning materials with the Fedora packages. Install the appropriate kernel sources, as shown earlier, and then run the following command:
Where is my kernel source located which i can modify. I cant find anything in usr/src/kernels? Why?
I installed the audacious source code and now i can't find it I looked in "/usr/share/audacious" but no luck. im still getting used to the Linux file system so forgive my ignorance.
Looking for a guide or thread that explains how to install from source code.What programs that I need to install like php or others and the steps to compile make and install the code.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10. When I started up synaptic manager/settings/repositories, I noticed that the source code box had a line through it. Is this normal?
I was recently trying to install Ruby from source, due to needing and older version and having yum acting up on me. The problem is, the executable is being installed to /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin. I figure there's probably a way to change the install directory at some point during the configure/make/make install process, but there's no man page for these functions, and Google has not been kind.
Thus, my questions are twofold:
1) Does anyone have any good documentation (ideally, with examples/explanations) of command line parameters available for configure and make?
2) Failing that, can anyone tell me in specific how to install a source code's compiled executable to a specific directory?
Searching for an ancient file... "ubuntu-8.04-src-1.iso" Note that I have already checked the primary ubuntu mirrors that host DVDs. they all have: "ubuntu-9.04-src-1.iso"/"ubuntu-10.04-src-1.iso"/"ubuntu-11.04-src-1.iso"; but not "ubuntu-8.04-src-1.iso"... I am trying to organize an internal "complete" archive for computer science and engineering at the Univ of Mich.
I'm new to linux and I'm using ubuntu 10.10 since it relished. I've download utorrent-server-3.0-25053.tar.gz. I configured intltool-0.41.1.tar.gz and libgraph-1.0.1.tar.gz using that very command installed them successfully.
I need a mixer app called envy24control. Nobody seems to have a Slackware package for it, which would not be a big deal except that I cannot find the source code either! Does anyone know where I can find this thing?
Where do I find the linux-source package and the linux-headers package? Are they on the CD that I can copy to /usr/src (is that the right place...)? Or do I need to download them from the old-releases.ubuntu.com site?
The issue now is that the nVidia installer from their website wants the source code to build the right packages for this machine, however, I do not have the src directory with the source code that it is looking for. Is there some way to give this too it now?
I was trying to install VPN client for my Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. During the installation process the terminal reads:
"Directory containing linux kernel source code [/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/build]"
On that I pressed enter for the default option (in bold). After a few more steps I reached the following error:
Making module sh: Can't open ./driver_build.sh Failed to make module "cisco_ipsec.ko".
[/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/build] is the location where the installer expects the kernel source to be (I am guessing). So unless I correct the terminal (by providing the location of the kernel source), I think I will keep on getting the same error message.
So to get the kernel source I visited: [URL]From there I copy pasted the command:
does anyone know where to find the full Ubuntu source code all i can find is the kernel source. if any knows where to get the full source code for any major Linux distribution could they let me know.
Is there a way to find the dependencies from the source code in the directory produced by the tarball? All I do till now is ./configure, see the missing lib etc, install it, again ./configure, see missing lib, install it, and so on. Is there a way to have all the missing dependencies before configuring the program for the system, maybe with a proper configure flag? But ./configure -h
I am new to centOS and one of my application need linux source code as such I am failed to find suitable link for that. Any suitable link for Linux kernel version: 2.6.18-194.el5.
I am trying to install an rpm and when I run rpm -ivvh "package" I get this output Quote: Expected size: 29111 = lead(96)+sigs(180)+pad(4)+data(28831) D: Actual size: 29111 D: ldipmi-8.50.0.i386.rpm: Header SHA1 digest: OK (d3665fbf1c1a418ac1bf17befe92870b95c1a446) D: added binary package [0] D: ============== /root /root: not an rpm package (or package manifest): Is a directory D: found 0 source and 1 binary packages
I am trying to find the source code behind mkpasswd which I apt-getted from universe. I am trying to code a similar app in Java and want to see how the salt is implemented in the /etc/shadow file.
Bu I just can't seem to find any source about that particular program...
I want to build my own GNOME. The problem I have is that I cannot find the tarball for the GNOME source code. Another thing I've read on their website is that the way to build it is not the conventional './configure, make, make install', and that it has to be done using a multi-phase process. Is this correct?
I've tried a couple times to install from a tar.gz file and when i try to compile the source code in the terminal I get this error "tar: bash-4.2.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory" what am I doing wrong? Now when I download the files, I leave themin the down loads folder, do i need to make a new directory? If so how do I do that and how do i call it up when I compile the sopurce?
this is srinath,newbie to linux and shell scripts.am in need of shell script,which have to checkout the source code(C/C++) from CVS server to a specified directory and compile that source code and get all its dependency files to a specified directory.
I have upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04, a a200 laptop, real old desktop (Pentium 4 with sdram), and did a complete install on a I5 with 4G of ram without any problems at all. However I could not find the "software source" option that was under Administration in 10.04 and earlier. I am in Australia and getting all of the updates from the main U.S. based server is a really slow. I used the optus server before and got much quicker updates. Is there a choose server option in 10.10 that I missed?
I purchased a book about Linux called the Linux Starter Kit. It came with a full install disc. The disc is labeled: Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, Bootable & Installable LiveCD.
After playing with the thing for a while, I decided to take the plunge and install it on my Dell Inspiron laptop. I went through the entire install. Everything worked fine. I shut the computer down.
The very next time I turned on the computer I got the message "BIOS does not find a bootable source."
Right now, the laptop is a big paperweight--unless I either learn how to get Ubuntu to run installed so I can do real work with it, or reinstall XP.
I have been a newbie to Fedora, Now i think its the time to explore fedora and learn the "behind the scenes" process.. I want to know how to view the source code of kernel,an application.
Trying to get Fedora 12 installed normally on a laptop, but it's hanging at the aforementioned point during installation. The mouse cursor is movable and the system appears to be fully working. The progress bar isn't moving and there is nowhere to either shut down the PC or access the terminal?? I cannot check any progress or see any log of what the installation program is trying to do.
It's a P4 laptop with ~700mb of ram. This is a fresh install from the i386 DVD distro. Why is it so hard to get a running system in linux when Windows or Mac is ready to go in about an hour? I've spent a good 3 hours trying to find my way around this latest problem and I am SO close to giving up. What a waste of my time linux has been so far.
Where I can get a disc for the Fedora 11 source code? I really like this release of fedora and want to keep it for the future. Also, what's the difference between SRPM and RPMs? What does an SRPM do when you install it and what is it's purpose?
