General :: Code Tarball Build Failing In Gnaupps (coreutils, Grep) On A FC7?
Mar 17, 2010
I am not sure which thread this fits in, I am facing a strange problem. There is a code tarball that I cross-compile on a Fedora Core 9 machine and it builds fine. But when I do the same thing on a (heavily used) Fedora Core 7 machine, the build keeps failing in the gnuapp folders grep, coreutils etc. I have tried 'make distclean', and clearing the config.cache but no impact.
Note: I export the PATH variable (to the local cross-compiler) before starting the build. The cross compilation is for the MIPS processor and GNU makefiles are used.
my dads decided to try out ubuntu on his pc, so far everythings up and running smoothly. i am trying to get the video capture card working with tvtime. I have ran "lspci" in the terminal which has detected the following.
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'm running GNU Emacs 23.1.1 on "Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS" and any search I perform using the built-in M-x rgrep on the standard Linux kernel source code (vanilla) ends prematurely with the following error printed to the emacs echo area:Grep exited abnormally with code 123.I have been seeing it for a while on Redhat systems as well, and with other (large) code bases.
i am trying to build a EC2 image using VMBuilder and it keeps failing. i read and it seems that i need to install GRUB version 1 instead of 2. i tried to find documention on how to replace it but no luck. i am no expert in Linux.
If others are have the problem of VirtualBox failing to build the kernel modules with kernel 2.6.32 try this :-
1. Install VirtualBox and watch as the kernel modules fail to compile.
2. Change the line Code: KFLAGS += -DRT_ARCH_AMD64 TO Code: KFLAGS += -DRT_ARCH_X86_64
In the following files :- Code: Line 231 /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv/Makefile Line 170 /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxnetadp/Makefile Line 174 /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxnetflt/Makefile
3. Run /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup
You will now have a working VirtualBox setup. NB This is written purely from the standpoint of using the Closed source version of VB not the OSE version.
I am using Fedora 12, and I recently downloaded the source of Empathy from the git repo. When I issue a ./configure on the console, I get the following output, please look at the last line:
[root@localhost empathy]# ./configure checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
I've got bash 4.1.5(1) at the moment. I had bash 4.1.7(2) version in my university pc. Certain commands aren't working as it should in my version. Could anyone please tell me how to install bash 4.1.7(2) version in my pc? I'm using ubuntu 10.10 OS.
Keep receiving the following error message when i try to compile any code: Code: checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check logs test out some code with the C preprocessor and fail, thereby failing the "sanity check" I reinstalled cpp, but to no avail.
1. typeset -i INTEGER INTEGER=aaa In all platforms except of Linux it is failing and return exit code 1 Why in Linux it is not failing? I must it for my number tests
2. The same for printf command. Only in Linux the bellow command is not failing: printf "%d" aaa
I'm working on a new conky script, and I had the idea to use text from a [URL]... The command I'm using to pull the file is:
Code: curl -s http://www.thefuckingweather.com/?zipcode=33186 | grep 'ITS FKING *' However, this gives me the entire line of code this line appears in. Code: <br />ITS FKCING NICE</div><div id="remark"><br /> How can I limit this to simply the text?
Sorry about the foul language btw...the words obviously aren't misspelled when I enter them in the terminal
I would like to install a more modern version of GNU utils (coreutils) on a debian linux system where I have no admin rights. Is there a way to do that?
The rationale is that I need a more modern version to the one installed in the system where I intend to run my analysis. I am trying to use "sort -R" or "shuf" to randomize lines in a big text file.
The problem emerged when I started to make the internal microphone and external speakers work [URL]. In either kernel 2.6.32-24 or 2.6.35-15 - cannot install any package with apt-get. Here is the error I get when installing just anything [URL]. Basically, here is it:
Code: ERROR: Build failed. Please review the build log at /tmp/alsa-driver-linuxant.3620.log dpkg: error processing alsa-driver-linuxant (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Setting up libxslt1-dev (1.1.26-1ubuntu1) ... Errors were encountered while processing: alsa-driver-linuxant E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I created a tarball with multiple files. The rpm generator requires those files to be inside a folder. I don't want to move the files before generating the tar. Is there a way to create this folder while generating the tar or after it?
I know there is lots of documentation out there for installing tar balls but I can't make it work I am trying to work with this file sauerbraten_2009_05_04_trooper_edition_linux.tar.bz2 in file:///home/Nemesis/Downloads/sauerbraten_2009_05_04_trooper_edition_linux.tar.bz2
I am running Fedora 12, the gnome desktop if the desktop matters. I have been running Fedora almost elusively for 2 years and off n on before that but in my many attempts at trying to Install a TARBALL I have always failed hard.
(1)I got ffmpeg-checkout tarball dated 5 june 2010 . It was bigger than ffmpeg-export of same date but I noticed the binary ffmpeg & ffplay generated after './configure' & 'make' are same size.
(2)I am using ubuntu 8.04 with GNOME. I am able to compile ffmpeg with following options
[Code]....
Do I have to get tarballs (of libx264 & libtheora) & compile them .
I tried to install gfortran on my computer. When I extract the tarball, I forgot the '-C' option of the command 'tar', which should be added, according to the instruction of installation.
That is to say, I wrote in the mp directory:
Then, the tarball creates a '/usr' directory under '/tmp' directory, and it contains only a /local directory, which contains only a /gfortran directory.
The thing is, when I modify the name of this directory, for example, from /usr to /usr-modi, I found that the name of the directory /usr under the root directory is also changed from /usr to /usr-modi.
How can I delete this annoying /usr directory under /tmp, without tragically affect /usr under the root directory?
I just need to edit the coreutils-5.97-12.1.el5.i386 file , i have extracted from bootable DVD,its not opening properly through wordpad / notepad. can any one tell how to view the contents of this file properly.
I was encountering a problem with tcsh/csh on FC 10 and decided to uninstall SELinux coreutils through the package manager. The process took quite long and when it was about to finish the screen started blinking and the keyboard was not responding. I rebooted but couldn't restart, the process stucks when the progress bar becomes white! I later tried the live CD and found out that coreutils have been removed too, so I installed them but nothing changed.
I am using find to search for .tgz files modified more than 7 days ago and delete them.find /directory/ -iname backup*.tgz -daystart -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} My problem is that find will go through the content of tarball as well and list all content. I want to only search main tarball and delete it if older than 7 days.
