Slackware :: Error Building Compiz 0.8.4 From Source - 13
Dec 16, 2009
I've been trying to install Compiz 0.8.4 from the source code provided by the Compiz people.
However, when I run make on the first set of code (compiz-0.8.4 tar package), it halts with the following error:
Code:
As well as --disable-gconf and --disable-gnome since gnome isn't install on Slackware (I've also tried it without those, but it picks up on it anyway and throws them out). The folder I'm running this from is /root/Desktop/Compiz Fusion/compiz-0.8.4.
Trying to get Midori browser from SBOpkg's and one of the dependencies is libsoup.configure: error: GLIB 2.21.3 or later is required to build libsoup.Anyone able to give me a pointer in the right direction to overcome this.
I use Slackware 13.0 with the 2.6.33.2 kernel, and I use GnomeSlackbuild.I tried to get help on their discussion group, but I didn't get any.I'm trying to build gnome-power-manager 2.30, because it uses the new upower interface (so it seems). I have GTK+ 2.18.9.
I compiled and installed a new visual traceroute program on my laptop running Slackware 12.1, the program is called GTrace. After an initial ./configure attempt, the program said that I had to install the JDK package. I installed <jdk-6u11-i586-1.tgz> and reconfigured, then make and make install, (I also added a required BerkleyDB <db-2.7.7.tar.gz> file to the install directory, as per the webpage instructions). Now when I try to run the program, it attempts to start ( a window appears onscreen and then just stops and sits there). I then ran the program in the command line and this is the output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/local/GTrace/libdb/libdb_java.so: /usr/local/GTrace/libdb/libdb_java.so: undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0 at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at com.sleepycat.db.Db.load_db(Db.java:248) at com.sleepycat.db.Db.<clinit>(Db.java:263) at com.sleepycat.db.DbEnv.<clinit>(DbEnv.java:173) at caida.GTrace.GTrace.initGTrace(GTrace.java:444) at caida.GTrace.GTrace.<init>(GTrace.java:271) at caida.GTrace.GTrace.main(GTrace.java:1597)
I searched google for this error and found one user that had a similar output in another program, but after reading the other forum, I have no idea what they were talking about or how to fix this up. How I may overcome this JDK error to be able to run the visual traceroute program.
I am trying to build an application on linux and it requires compilation of several files along with my application. Till now I have been trying using a makefile which is built for a test application which uses almost the same files as the mine by replacing its main.c file. But mow have ended up writing everything, function declarations, definitions... in the same file looks very unprofessional and is quite difficult to manage.
I've met several issues recently while building the MySQL server from CentOS 5 SRPM. The root problem are the expired SSL certificates used for built-in tests making all the tests fail. The problem is widely described on the net and I am in doubt now what to do: should I submit a patch or what?
I am trying to build abcde from slackbuilds.org and include needed packages like id3. When I went to build it I was unable to download the source from [url] and I get a 404 error in dutch. I was wondering if anyone had this issue or if there was another trusted place to grab the source code? I checked the archives of the slackbuilds-user mailing list to see if the issue is already known, but I didn't see anything.
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.
I'd like to clear up my misconception towards various types of installations. Is one better than the other? Do more senior people prefer compiling from source code? Hows does is compare to yum install or install from rpm?
I've become reliant on Net Objects Fusion for building and maintaining my web site. NOF is still only offered as a windows app and it is the only reason I have to keep Windows installed.Can anyone propose a comparable application (preferably open source) that will run in Linux?
running ubuntu 10.4 x86_64 downloaded source tarball of fakenes-0.5.9-beta3. tried to compile with ./cbuild as per instructions and it gets to the following and provides quite a few errors
Apparently, the wireless adapter Realtek 8171 uses the rtl8192se driver, which is currently available only as source from Realtek's website. Is building a driver equal to building a package? Should I follow the same cautions, say these ones?
I'd like to have a shot at building FBReader 12.1 from source for use within F12 (kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE) but am having problems locating the following .rpm files:
libz and libbz2 -- libraries for zip and bzip2 (de)compression libfribidi -- for bidirectional text support lincurl, version >= 7.17 -- for network libraries integration
why do we have to define both Source/Destination AND Direction when building firewall.Isn't direction= source->destination? what would happen if source and destination were swapped?
I have a problem with PAE kernel sources and builing nvidia driver. uname -a returns Linux myX 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Jan 18 20:06:44 UTC 2010 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
1. I run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.22-pkg1.run and I get an error message that kernel sources cannot be found.
2. My folders: /lib/modules had these two subfolders 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE 2.6.31.12-74.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE so what I did, I run: yum install kernel and got inside /lib/modules this extra 3rd subfolder (no PAE) 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686 On the other hand /usr/src/kernels has one subdirectory (no PAE): 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686
3. Now, when I build nvidia driver, it still gives me the error, that no sources found, so I do ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.22-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686 and get an error that this seems to be the incorrect version. And I guess this is true as I have no PAE sources.
I'm currently trying to install unRaid on Slackware following this tutorial :[URL].. I'm new to Linux and after many hours, i finally managed to build the new kernel for unRAID (2.6.32.9). But audio on HDMI port doesn't work I tried alsaconf without success. HDMI sound works when i boot into the old kernel.
So I'm building a custom kernel cuz I want the fbcondecor patch in my kernel. I use the same .config that 2.6.32 debian kernel package comes with. This kernel runs perfectly. I pass --initrd to make-kpkg when building the package but no initrd is built when I install it so I have to make it using "mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33 2.6.33" to get it to boot. Now when I try to build the nvidia drivers it complains it can't find the source. I did build kernel_headers and installed them also the source is in /usr/src/linux. I also tried to specify the path by passing --kernel-source-path= to the nvidia script but no change. What is going on? I've done this fifty times before and never had any problems. Has there been some changes to how debian kernel packages are built? EDIT: Just thought I'd add some info about the steps I took.
Code: tar xjvf linux-2.6.33.tar.bz2 ln -s linux-2.6.33 linux cd linux patch -p1 < ../fbcondecor-0.9.6-2.6.33-rc7.patch cp /boot/config-2.6.32-trunk-686 ./.config
make menuconfig Loaded .config then I removed support for maxtorfb, tile blitting and some sirrusfb thing, nothing thats relevant to my system. Changed cpu from Pentium 4 to Core 2 and added framebuffer decor support from my patch, exited and saved. Then:
[Code]....
EDIT2: I have now tried to build 2.6.32.8 in the same way with the same strange results, anyone have any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong just throw it at me, I'm getting desperate and running out of ideas. I've checked all the kernel source symlinks and everything looks good.
I'm very keen on getting Mumble installed on my slackware -current 64 bit install. I found a slackbuild script for 12.2 here, but changing the version number resulted in failure. I also tried following the build instructions on the Mumble website, which failed with the following.

I'm trying to build erlang-otp using slackbuild script from http://slackbuilds.org/. I've got these errors while building:
Code: checking lex output file root... configure: error: cannot find output from flex; giving up configure: error: /bin/sh '/tmp/SBo/otp_src_R14B01/lib/megaco/./configure' failed for megaco/. configure: error: /bin/sh '/tmp/SBo/otp_src_R14B01/lib/configure' failed for lib GNU flex is in system, so I have no idea what has goes wrong. Maybe someone know the issue?
I went to this link hand added the file to /etc/yum.repos.d, but get the "Could not contact source fedora-compiz-fusion, so it will be disabled" error when trying to enable the source in PackageKit
I did some research and located a nice packaging script "nspluginwrapper.SlackBuild" so I decided to go that route and build a Slackware package for nspluginwrapper. The error I get is the inability to find /usr/include/gnu-32.h when it is building the nspluginviewer. Not realizing that the viewer is what is used by the Browser I edited the configure script to not build that piece and it worked fine after that but of course that defeated what I was trying to do. What it looks like is that I need to have 32 bit headers or both headers and libraries installed to be able to build the viewer. I just want to use the acrobat reader plugin in Firefox. Would someone please provide an explanation of what I need to do to build nsplguinwrapper viewer?
