General :: Update Packages From Source Files?
Dec 6, 2009
I'm not to sure if i'm using the right terminology but im trying to install rrdtool and it needs all these dependencies. One of them I have installed but it isn't up to date.glib-1.2x needs to updated to 1.17 or higher. How do i go about updating this? I downloaded the source and did ./configure && make && make install but this didn't update it.Also trying to install libxml-2.0 to 2.6.31, im getting a whole list of dependicies.

Very often we get to hear Binary / Source when we talk about installing packages...From what I understand "Binary" refers to a natively packaged installation by a Distro wheras installation from Source would entail fetching the files, Compiling and then building the package. When we say "source" where do these codes reside? Is it diffferent for different distros or one common source like "sourceforge.net" or similar?! I know it sounds silly but what is the origin of the source codes??
One general remedy if a package is not found is to install from source... So , source would refer to a "tar.gz" or "bz2" archive present at some location like "[URL]". In some cases , id it possible that some packageas are not available in "Source". When I tried to build a package for a particular distro , I was told that some dependencies are not un the source ...What is the meaning of this? So do all distros maintain the codes in their official repositories?

I am trying out Zenwalk Linux and so far love it. I have had to compile a couple of bits of software from source and don't know how I would update them when a new version comes out.The options are:1. Compile the new version and hope it overwrites the old one2.Uninstall the old version and compile the new.Option 2 feels safer but how do I uninstall a bit of software installed by compiling?

In my company's production server, there are already mysql, php and httpd packages installed and running. Configurations are already made to the httpd.conf and my.cnf files.
Now I have to upgrade the packages to the latest version. I have to perform a yum update for the whole system first, then reinstall the packages right?
Will this affect the changes made to the configuration files? If yes, how do I upgrade so that the changes are not affected?

I am Vamsi from Alcatel-Lucent. We have a software to configure the wireless broadband devices to the Linux machine. Till now, it was running on FC-5. When we need to add any new device, we used to add it in airprime.c, sw.h and usb-serial.c under /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial directoy.
Now we are trying to upgrade the system to FC-12. But I am not able to find any kernal files under /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE/drivers/usb/serial directory. I saw in some websites that the kernal files can be found at: /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/linux-2.6.31/drivers/usb/serial. But in my system, there is no rpmbuild directory.

I am currently writing some convenience methods for my terminal in my bash_profile and am sure if what I am writing is "the best way". I figure a good way to verify whether what I'm doing is right or not would be to find some source code of more established programs and see how they do it.My question then is, where can I find this code on my Mac? An example is, with Macports installed, where is the source code that opens the port interactive console when I type nothing but "port" in my shell?(I added Linux in the title even though I am on a Mac because I assume the answer would be the same for both)

OS: Ubuntu 10.04.
When I try to install some packages by aptitude, I see this:
Before it, I made it (sudo apt-cdrom add):
And it (sudo apt-get update):
My dvd-disk is not broken - md5 checksum is right. In sources.list I have only cdrom source, without any network repositories. When I install one package (for example pptp-linux) which don't use any depending, it work good, but when I have some group of packages - installed only first package from this group, you can see this in a first image, marked by yellow color and set to 16 percent.

I was running 10.04 LTS and had decided to stick to the LTS versions as I'm now running my machine as a server and don't want to be updating regularly.Every time I logged in via SSH I got a message telling me there where packages to update including a security update. So I did a search to find out how to perform an update on Ubuntu server from the command line.What I found was to do this:sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get dist-upgradeAfter doing that I rebooted but now my machine gives me this message:
init: ureadahead-other main process (794) terminated with status 4Your disk drives are being checked for errors, this may take some timePress C to cancel all checks currently inprogressI'm not pressing C yet and leaving it alone to finish, but I noticed when the machine booted that one of the options for booting talked about Ubuntu 10.10, so I'm worried that I've updated from 10.04 LTS to 10.10 by accident?

I would like to create some packages for programs that use the Git software to manage the source, I want to do this directly using the source code in the Git repo as the source code form the package. Does anyone have any hints or directions on how to do this? I been looking round the web for information about this, but all I seem to find is for about storing and build Debian packages from git, this is not what I want to do as these packages are for personal use and I have no need for this.

Wanted to switch to Kubuntu and decided a clean install was the way to go. Though the learning curve isn't too tough, I've hit a serious snag: When I try to compile a source package according to the similar instructions in each of the README files, I get the same error message;
Instructions:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
su -c 'make install'

I am building a router and I wonder if I have some rules like this and
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_source_route is 0 will it work.
Code:
echo 1000 TEST >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
iptables -A PREROUTING -s 192.168.2.0/24 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 1
ip rule add fwmark 1 table TEST
ip route add default via 192.168.3.5 dev eth2 table TEST
I am not quite sure is it source routed packages at all. And also even if it works with my router will next firewall drop such packages. I have mentioned before that some things like:
Code:
ip route add default via 192.168.3.5 dev eth2 src 192.168.2.0/24
do not work

compiler problem (f77) which arises when I try to execute a bash script ("compile" see [1] below) running under Cygwin on WinXP. The script finds the correct file(s) but the compiler does not recognize them as fortran source files. If the script is executed sequentially from the command line then there is no problem.
The directory structure of flh971da contains two subdirectories flh971da/scripts and flh971da/source. The compile script [1] is shown (in part) below. The script changes directory to flh971da/source, and compiles source from subdirectories flh971da/source/n where n=a,b,c etc and places the object files in flh971da/source/nobj n=a,b,c... etc. The response to flh971da/scripts/compile script is given below [2]. It is clear that the compiler (f77) locates the correct source file [4] (flh971da/source/a/a00aaft.f) but does not recognize it as a fortran source file. All relevant files have been processed with d2u. I suspect the problem is with the script, but I have no idea how to fix it.

I need a newer version of the nvidia drivers for opensuse 11.4. ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.4 has version 270.41.06 available, but I found that I need the 270.41.19 version for CUDA 4.0 to run (yes I know CUDA 4.0 does not officially support 11.4, but the same 270.41.06 is available for 11.2 which CUDA 4.0 does support).
Where can I download the files x11-video-nvidiaG02-270.41.06-5.1.nosrc.rpm and nvidia-gfxG02-270.41.06-4.1.nosrc.rpm that these binaries were created from? Once I have the source rpms, I can easily update them to the newer version.

I have recently installed a dev branch of Postfix on my box (jaunty), in order to access some new features. This requires that I do not use any of the postfix-related packages in the repos, I have to set this all up manually.
What is the best method for me to manage this system moving forward? Do I need to prevent the repo's postfix package (or anything depending on it, like postfix-mysql, postfix-dovecot etc.) from ever being installed accidentally? Is there anything else I need to worry about? How do you folks generally manage having compiled, customized versions of software that exists in the repos on your systems?

Can anyone recommend any open source customer support portal software? I'm looking for something where users can sign in, and submit support tickets for a wide variety of issues (game play, billing, etc). Then a Support Agent can login and assign tickets, respond, etc. I've already started looking at bugzilla, but I was hoping to find some other options to compare to.
