OpenSUSE :: Unable To Install Software From Source B/c Missing C Libraries?
Jul 11, 2010
I'm having trouble installing software from the source files. From what I can gather the problem lies with not having the correct c libraries installed. My understanding is you use the ./configure, make, and make install commands in a terminal to install. And that the configure command checks to see if you have everything to install. this is the output when I try to configure:
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
Trying to build git gimp raises an error about missing libcairo.la and libfreetype.la /usr/lib/ does not have those files though the build manifest shows they should be included. Both cairo-devel and freetype2-devel have been installed, rpm query produces; cairo-devel-1.10.2-6.11.1.i586 and freetype2-devel-2.4.4-6.1.i586 This is my first attempt at using SUSE, so it maybe I am missing something elementary
i a newbie at linux and i installed Fedora 14 with minimum services and software in order to install Dynamips/Dynagen (Cisco router emulator).when i try to install Cisco rpm -ivh dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386.rpm file i get the following:
error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6 is needed by dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386
I am running ubuntu 10.10 on a sony vaio f115. I am trying to install the printers for a brother mfc5460cn. I have used apt-get and aptitude, I have used sudo and sh all to no avail. I always get the same messages: cannot lock administration library (var/lib/pkg/) (11 temporarily unavailable) and cannot get lock/var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 temporarily unavailable) How do I gain access to these libraries?
I am trying to install some NVIDIA drivers on my machine. I went through the process and got this message:
Code: Select allWARNING: Unable to find a suitable destination to install 32-bit compatibility libraries. Your system may not be set up for 32-bit compatibility. 32-bit compatibility files will not be installed; if you wish to install them, re-run the installation and set a valid directory with the --compat32-libdir option. URL...Where in I ran this in the terminal to create the 32-bit document tree.
Code: Select allsudo apt-get install ia32-libs
E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate.
I really just want to get these NVIDIA drivers up and running. I already installed and updated the headers to just be able to half-way install the drivers (the second monitor works now).
currently I'm using a kernel from kernel-mainline [url], because thermal won't work satisfying with the shipped kernel from ubuntu and would like to install tp_smapi (including modules hdaps and thinkpad_ec), but the installation failed, because the system pretending, that kernel-headers missing.
Code:
Results in telling the system, that kernel-headers are installed.
Code:
But then the upcoming dialog-box of module-assistant telling me, that the kernel-headers are not installed and therefore installation of tp_smapi fails.
I would like to ask you something about open-source and linux. Is it possible to make a commercial application for linux and sell it compiling it with linking to open-source libraries without altering them and consequently without allowing download of the source code and without making the application itself free?
I moved a program from one machine to a different one. When I run it on the new one I get errors. How do I tell what libraries it's missing and then find them?
Installing from sources was always complicated to me, but biggest problem is installing when some strange dependencies are "missing". Let's do it on example - I am sure it will benefit lots of users.I have a unmodified ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on 64 bir architecture. I download latest Grisbi sources from official web page.I didn't modify any paths to system variables...and it's usually problem with glib or gtk with all other sources I try to install.
1) Could someone help me in this particular case with missing dependencies please? 2) What every User should do when trying to install from source and some libraries are missing?How to find them? How to install them ?
I am running Yellow Dog Linux release 6.2(Pyxis) on my PS3. I would like to compile and run C programs that utilize OpenMP for parallel programming. Unfortunately, I have not been very successful. I am able to compile programs containing OpenMP statements error free, but when I attempt to execute the binaries I receive the following error: Code: ./file: error while loading shared libraries: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Compiling programs without OpenMP statements works fine.
Because it has to do something with missing libraries, I am not sure if knowing the executable search paths may help in diagnosis, but when echoing the path environment variable:

The version of GCC on this machine, 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44), is identical to the ones I have on two other machines (CentOS release 5.3 (Final) and CentOS release 5.4 (Final)) and they both compile and execute OpenMP code flawlessly. I have tried building and installing another version of GCC that would possibly include the OpenMP libraries, since, according to some sources, GCC has only supported OpenMP since version 4.2. But I have not been successful with that either (that problem would make a good second thread.)
I've recently upgraded from 8.04 to 9.10 and in the process, I've lost access to gfortran. I'm using the gfortran that came with Karmic, but when I execute the make file I get this:
Code:
ld GetNextPerigee.o -o GetNextPerigee ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000008048094 GetNextPerigee.o: In function `MAIN__': GetNextPerigee.f90:(.text+0x26): undefined reference to `_gfortran_set_options' GetNextPerigee.f90:(.text+0x2b): undefined reference to `_gfortran_iargc'
Fascinatingly weird one here. First, this issue isn't on my computer, it's from someone who I am helping. I don't have first-hand access to the computer. Some background: the machine originally had Ubuntu Hardy, which we upgraded to Lucid a couple of weeks ago. Earlier this week, he gave me a call that Ubuntu wasn't booting up; it dropped to the command line. Some tinkering later, I figured out that libgthread-2.0.so had become corrupted, so X wasn't starting. It gave an error complaining that it had an invalid ELF header.I figured that this was just an odd freak occurrence; there was a bad kernel panic previously, so maybe the library was upgraded and the system was just writing to the disk at that time. Fixed via sudo aptitude reinstall libglib.
Ubuntu then started and everything ran perfectly. Today, he gave me a call. After he had restarted the computer, Ubuntu again dropped to terminal at the same point while booting. I had him open a new tty and run startx, which failed with a different shared library but the same error: libXext.so.6 has an invalid ELF header!
We had run updates, but I don't recall whether X's shared libraries were touched. Even if they were, though, that shouldn't affect anything. There were no hard resets between my fixing libgthread and libXext breaking. I'm going to try a clean install; I'm really just hoping we can figure out why this is, because it's an amazing little problem.
I have installed 11.2 from OpenSuse DVD on a clean partition. The problems I am having are: Updater Applet - it keeps trying to do the update and fails with the message: DBus error: Unable to get transaction id from packagekit. svn. I am trying to understand how to run svn client. I found installation instructions here. However, running the command zypper install subversion produces following error message: zypper: error while loading shared libraries: libzypp.so.619: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory.
I havent used Linux in a long time. I dug up an old copy of Suse (version8.2), and installed it on an old 599MHZ PC. Ive been trying to update the various libraries to be able to get a updated version of Firefox installed. Is there any chance that this can work? I need to know if Im wasting my time and should just put winxp on this PC. Also, I cant get any repositories working. I assume the default ones I have on the Suse installation are bad and the ones for the later versions will not work.
I am trying to run algodoo from terminal after I install it, but it doesn't run. It gives this error. I have been having troubles with permissions in the /usr folder recently, so I think that is what might have caused this. Please read through it thoroughly, as algodoo is actually located in the /opt folder.
Code: jon-Tuxbox:~$ sudo '/opt/Algodoo/algodoo/algodoo' There are missing dependencies. Please make sure that all the required libraries are installed. Missing: libcxcore.so.2.1 => not found libcv.so.2.1 => not found libhighgui.so.2.1 => not found jon-Tuxbox:~$
My recent borked upgrade to -current inspired me to try to come up with a way to sanity-check the lib and bin dirs for broken library symlinks (possibly indicating missing libs) and for binaries and libraries that belong to no installed package, as well as missing dependencies.
This script is the result.
I've checked the script results manually, and it appears to be accurate, so I figured I'd post it here for a second opinion, and/or because others may find it useful too. I'm not aware of another popular method of doing this on Slackware, so here it is:
Been attempting to upgrade the PHP version to a VPS on Blacknight Ireland hosting (Blacknight Hosting) but am having trouble trying to install the yum package on CentOS 5.5. I've downloaded a suitable yum installer from the hosting companies own downloads site (which you'd presume would work with their CentOS version), uploaded and attempted to run. However, it fails with the following output:
[Code]...
Been reading from various sources through Google searches that these should already be preinstalled with CentOS? Can anyone point me in the right direction to get these?
So after getting around the Fakeraid bug, and the grub bug, and all the other bugs killing my system fixed and then i moved on to install my video driver. There was nothing in Administration>Hardware Drivers, so i downloaded the latest driver for my two 8600m gt cards. Did the whole ctrl+alt+f2 and then stopping xserver and then running the driver install only to run into yet another damn bug(see log below)
I have tried fixing it by doing what other threads have said to do e.g:[URL] still nothing. Below is the Nvidia log.
Since I've installed opensuse 11.4 instead of 11.3, I cannot install .rpm packages nor execute updates. I get the following message: "There has been a (probably temporarily) when connecting to the software source/repository" (own translation) details: Media source [URL] does not contain the desired medium So, probably there is something wrong with my software sources. Could anyone give a suggestion to repair this since I'm not a linux expert and would like to install new software on my newly updated machine.
I have a problem with linux, I got the message "configure can not find x11 libraries" while I was installing xvista program on suse 10.3, Do you know what is the problem?
In what directory do I need to install a tarball containing API libraries in order to import the libraries for programming?I've been trying for a few hours now to get started on my homework - but I need the GLUT api for OpenGL. After attempting to compile a simple test program, I got the error Code: glut.h: No such file or directory
First off, I'm not even really sure if OpenGL wasn't included in the original install or if I even need it when programming with GLUT (I truelly am clueless, lol). But after reading as much as I could, I've only been able to deduce that I need to install the API libraries somewhere on my disc.So I found the tarball, and there are special instructions for installing a linux machine. I found instructions saying to install it in the directory /usr/lib/ but is that right for the SUSE distro?Also, if anybody knows anything about GLUT/OpenGL programming + openSUSE11.2.
I had somewhat of a simple questioned I tried out the latest revision to the Kernel of Day for Opensuse 11.2 built against the master. kernel-default-2.6.36-rc3.10.1.i586.rpm however looking at the tree it appears Novell/Suse doesn't release the source.rpm thinking I could recompile it to support the dependencies that I'm missing. See the message below-
Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.36-rc3-10-default Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.36-rc3-10-default Root device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_6L020J1_6612-part1 (/dev/sda1) (mounted on / as ext4)Resume device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_6L020J1_661-part2 (/dev/sda2) modprobe: Module via82cxxx not found.
Installation used default options. Discovered that my "standard" Desktop kernel isn't likely PAE enabled... Have had various FF windows open for a long time even with no network connection which resulted in memory leaks (understandable). Eventually the machine slowed to a crawl with numerous FF processes running (each about 8% of CPU) and 4GB memory map (4GB physical RAM) exhausted but surprisingly the 2GB swap was totally untouched. Searching the Forums there are numerous anecdotal opinions that PAE should be or was enabled automatically at least for Desktop kernels. Viewing the OpenSuSE repository, there are kernel-pae packages for this kernel version which aren't installed.
So before I start installing packages willy-nilly, is there an authoritative published source that documents what is is in an OpenSuSE kernel package, and what combination of packages plus if necessary additional manual configurations to achieve desired goals? BTW - I'm somewhat surprised that today PAE is not automatically included in today's kernels considering how cheap hardware is... I don't know if PAE typically should be a noticeable performance hit on low resource machines(like netbooks) and would be necessary for anything configured with more than 4GB total (physical plus swap) memory.
New to SuSE, but not Linux. Trying to install the source for 2.6.37.1-1.2, but YAST only has a different kernel version. Try downloading Kernel 2.6.37.1-1.2.2 rpm, but am getting into dependency hell.
When performing rpm -Uvh, my rpm is not able to link the shared library. My rpm use shared libraries which are created by my software. when i do rpm -ivh everything is working fine My rpm creates the softlinks to the shared libraries. Now when i install the rpm using -Uvh switch which upgrade..the shared libraries are not loading.
I'm using OpenSUSE11.2, and want to upgrade to OpenSUSE11.3 from internet. But there is not F4(Source) in boot menu. In my computer, F4 is keyboard menu. What shall I do?
