Fedora Installation :: Texinfo 4.9 From Texinfo-4.9.tar.bz2 - Info.c:161: Error: Expected Expression Before '/' Token
Mar 17, 2011
I'm using fedora 12 with sun virtualbox and I want to install texinfo 4.9 from texinfo-4.9.tar.bz2
-I extracted the archive in a folder..........ok
-In a terminal: ./configure......................ok
-In the terminal: make...........................error
I am getting:
info.c: In function 'main':
info.c:161: error: expected expression before '/' token
info.c:327: error: expected expression before '/' token
info.c:327: error: too few arguments to function 'info_add_path' ...
and a lot more. For some personnal reasons I must install it this way, I can't upgrade fedora, gcc...
in 11.4 the texi2dvi version is 1.135, based on texinfo version 4.13. Now these are old buggy versions (see e.g. texi2dvi: locale-dependent error in egrep [A-z] ), causing that documentation can not be built, for example when building gcc. Now one would hope that Suse provides updates (the latest version of texinfo is 4.9), but I can't find them?
It seems to me that the installation of texinfo is a bit more complicated, because of the integration with your system, so I hesitate to install texinfo myself. Yast should have a bug-reporting facility, where one could easily report such issues. Hope somebody can help (we have to install various pieces of software, which call texi2dvi, which then breaks, making the whole build breaks, and it would be not easy to change the build of these
I have little problem with my texinfo, it seems to be installed but during the compilation I get this error:
WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX, DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.
I am trying to install NS-2.1b9a in Fedora 8.0. I have already installed gcc-3.3 and made new link to the newly installed gcc. I used patch made for NS-2.1b9a (found in [URL]...-8-ubuntu.html) to install in Fedora 8.0. Now, when I run ./install I get follwoing error.
I don't know if this is the best place to ask this question. This question arose when I had a g++ compilation error: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '.' token The above message can be correctly displayed in urxvt or xterm. But in mrxvt the '.' part can't be displayed correctly. Then I noticed that the quote signs are actually different from the usual ones and there seems no way to type ' ' from the keyboard. What are the differences and how to make mrxvt to display ' ' correctly. I found mrxvt very good and easy to configure.
I'm using ubuntu 10.04 beta 1. when I try to update & upgrade I get the following error:

I have been spending several days getting wxwidgets to work in code::blocks ide on several different platforms. Now I am down to one instance that I can't figure out. I have wxwidgets working in Fedora 13 x64, but cannot get it to work in a Fedora 13 x32 version. Actually, wxwidgets seem to be installed OK, but I run into compiler errors when I try to compile the default wxhello project. I get quite a few messages, in different header files, of this type:
/usr/include/assert.h:39:42: error: missing binary operator before token "("#if defined __cplusplus && __GNUC_PREREQ (2,95) From my friend Google this would seem to be caused by an older version of boost (before 1.37) - see http://bugs.xmms2.xmms.se/view.php?id=2215 ("It is an issue with old versions of boost and gcc4.4 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36453 It is fixed in boost 1.37")
I did a yum info command on both systems for every relevant package I could think of, including gcc(v4.4.4), gcc-c++(4.4.4), libgcc(4.4.4), libstdc++(4.4.4), boost(1.41.0), wxGTK(2.8.11), wxBase(2.8.11). Both systems are fully updated and have the same versions, with the only difference being 32 vs 64 bit. The same headers compile with no errors on the x64 system, but not x32. I have been able to find no other reason for this error than older versions of the preprocessor, yet that is apparently not the case here).
The following problem occurs to me, I'm creating a distribution (as a class project) for my school (I'm studying telecommunications and computer systems). I am following, in order to create the distribution, the manual that you can find on this page: [URL] But when I get to write:
I've been trying to install the latest version of Emacs from source but I'm running into a trouble. The commands "./configure" and "make" work just fine. However, when I run "sudo checkinstall" I get a message saying that makeinfo is missing:
Code: makeinfo is missing - cannot build manuals make: *** [info] Error 1 **** Installation failed. Aborting package creation. Cleaning up...OK Bye. What is Error 1
This is the error I got when I tried to update it today. On the top the icon for the update manager is a red circle with a white line like a stop sign. When I click on it this is the error message I get. Could not initialize the package information. An unresolved problem occurred while initializing the package information.
please report this bug against "update-manager" package and include the following error message : 'E:Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.'

I'm trying to install the Sun Java plugin to use in Chrome. The installation seems to have gone well, but I have hit an error trying to create a symbolic link of the libnpjp2.so library in the plugins directory of Chrome.
When typing in "in -s /opt/java/jre1.6.0_26/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so" I get "Syntax error near unexpected token `in' ". I'm not sure what could be wrong, I'm in the right directory.
I am trying to build a script that runs on AIX, Solaris, and various flavors of Linux as well. It is very simple, or so I thought. I have the AIX and Solaris servers working well. Next I tried to get my workstation to run the script and it bombed. I am running Fedora 12 x86_64, but that isn't really important. I have various flavors of Linux. Some CentOS, RH, and even a Gentoo server. The script I have runs every hour on all servers. I can push out changes and install software with it, but the Linux WS won't run it.
Here is my script:
And here are the errors:
Is this just an issue with going between ksh and bash?
I'm fairly new to shell scripting and am having the hardest time figuring out why this simple script is giving me an error
The error is "syntax error near unexpected token `else'
I'm using TextEdit on OSX (sorry I'm limited to this). The only thing I can think of is that it's reading some return character and getting thrown off. I've tried saving the script using different encoding types but the same error pops up.
I also get an error at line 2 because it does not regonize as a command
I have a .sql file that is too large and needs to be uploaded via ssh.I know the commands to do this but my username password has parenthesis in it i.e. (password)So I am getting -bash: syntax error near unexpected token.
Okay, first off I'm no hotshot programmer (and actually lack much familiarity with shell scripting) so apologies in advance if this problem is so trivial as to be irritating.
What I'm trying to do is drop the following command from either a shell script or a perl program. However, while it executes fine and does what it's supposed to when entered from the command line, I can't get it to work as a system call.
Here's the line:
Code:
When I drop it from a shell script like this:
Code:
I get the following:
Code:
If I try escaping the ()s with or ', I get this:
Code:
I've tried a bunch of other stuff to get it working (deleting the ()s, spacing them differently, etc) and looked around online for a solution, but I can't find anything that works.
I tried a shell script directly only after anything I tried to drop it from perl with `` or system() failed with the same errors.
