I am following the directions at the android website and it says to put the path of my downloaded SDK into the system PATH variable.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.04.1 and am trying to get packet capturing working for my Bluetooth dongle using hcidump.From what I've read, libpcap must be compiled to enable Bluetooth sniffing and given that hcidump isn't finding a single packet, I'm guessing the version Ubuntu has installed for me isn't compiled with bluetooth support.So I downloaded a newer version of libpcap and installed the bluez header files. Configured libpcap and it gave a "Yes" for bluetooth support. It is now installed and sitting in /usr/local/lib/. Now I'm trying to compile hcidump to use this lib rather than the system default but I can't figure out how...I've read that GCC can be passed the -lpcap flag to set the path but I haven't figured out how to do this.

However, installing a plugin requires restarting Firefox, and even after restarting Firefox (which I haven't done yet), Lazarus can't recover forms it hasn't backed up yet.Now that the horse is out of the barn, I want to do the impossible: restore some or all of the text I typed, without restarting my browser.
Edit: I should clarify. Lazarus is a wonderful solution for preventing future form data loss. This question is for people who have already navigated away from their form and lost its contents, but hope there is some way to salvage the situation. My solution was to get a core dump of the process and grep through it, but there might be a layman's way to do it (for example, somehow get Firefox to load the cached version of the previous page). Thus, solutions that only solve the problem in the future, without addressing the present, are off-topic in this question.

I failed to install flash-plugin on my firefox My firefox is installed on path "/home/<<user>>/firefox"
1) I tried to install flash plugin by rpm -Uvh flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release-i386.rpm It is not working as the files are not installed on the folder /home/<<user>>/firefox/
2) yum install flash-plugin It returns "nothing to do"
3) I extracted and copied the files in the rpm to /home/<<user>>/firefox/flash-plugin then create a link by ln -s /home/<<user>>/firefox/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /home/<<user>>/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so When I open the firefox, it crashed.
How could I install this plugin manually?
I am running a server which is hosting a site where members can upload videoclips. I noticed that upon upload a thumbnail is not created for the videoclip. I found out that ffmpeg needed to be properly installed and in my case ffmpeg-php as the site runs on php. So far so good. I followed the instructions found somewhere to install ffmpeg-php but stall at the command: dot slash configure && make The error I get is:
checking for egrep... grep -E
checking for a sed that does not truncate output... slash slash bin slash sed
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
I presume it's because gcc is missing. how I can start tackling the problem and ultimately get gcc running so I can install the ffmpeg? I am really sorry I was hoping to elaborate a bit more but I get an error: You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 15 posts or more. so I guess I need to wait and describe it differently.

I am working on a project which targets both 32 and 64 bit architectures at the moment. My system is amd64. I added i386 architecture using this guide. However, my problem is
Code: Select allapt-get install package-name:i386
prompts the removal of currently installed packages (amd64 arch.) which is the problem.
Code: Select allReading package lists... Done

Some of the packages I am talking about are
-libegl1-mesa-dev:i386
-libportaudio-dev:i386
Now, as of now, I want to carry out the compilation using 32 bit libraries, however, I really don't want to install 64bit version of all prerequisites each time I switch the compilation from 32 bit to 64. Is there any way to have both architectures at the same time?

After installing texlive I got this message:
"add /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux to your PATH for current and future sessions."
By default the result of echo $PATH in ubuntu 10.04 LTS is:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin/bin:/usr/games
In my .bashrc file, exactly where should I insert the suggested PATH? Does it matter where it is put (please keep security hole issues also while answering this question). For example will it be OK if I add this line at the end of my .bashrc file:
/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin/bin:/usr/games
What is the correct position where texlive PATH should go. (I realized simply adding the above line, /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux at the end of my .bashrc is not the correct way to do because this gives rise to executing common commands live vi or xemacs etc(PATH clash, command not found in suggested PATH)). Another doubt is related to the kernel, the command sudo uname -a gives me:
linux myname-desktop 2.6.32-33-generic #71 Ubuntu SMP wed Jul 20 17:31:40 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
Do you think the downloaded texlive will work since this relevant to i386-linux?
I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on my laptop.And I am going to install mediaplayer from its "*.deb" file, But it requires a lot of other packages and each of those packages needs others and so on.Since I do not have internet connection on my Ubuntu and my internet connection is in Win XP, so I should download these packages and then check them in my Ubuntu and see what other packages it needs and download them and so on.
It is a very time consuming task. If I could find out what are all the required packages I could download all of them at once and then I could install them by "sudo dpkg -i *".Therefore I am wondering if there is a way to know which packages are the required ones for a typical package, my work would be much more easier.
My downloads are navigating to my home folder but not being deposited into the download folder as you can see by the screen shot . I don't know how to configure the correct path to the folder

I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?
Experimenting with shell variables, accidentally deleted the path variable how could I return to the original path value. What kinds of problems will I have if I don't have a path variable.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm writing an application and want to make possible to compile it with or without an optional module. This module requires perl library to be compiled, so I want to check presence of it in 'autoconf'.
The problem exists because perl library is placed in 'non-standart' location itself (like a /usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/libperl.so). So when I try to run configure (with AC_CHECK_LIB or AC_SEARCH_LIBS), it cannot find and link libperl.so in its test.
