Slackware :: Upgrade From Compiled Package In 13.1?
Apr 1, 2011
I compiled php 5.2.17 from the source with php-fpm and I have the compiled package /tmp as you know the version of php is slackware 13.1 is the same (5.2.17 without php-fpm) . How could I update from from compiled package?
is it possible to include an add-on (or more) inside a self-compiled txz package for firefox? Actually I'm trying to build a fully localized version adding UI localization and (possibly) the italian dictionary. The latter is distributed as an .xpi (zip archive) and is supposed to be installed from inside firefox, so I don't know how to include it at compile time or at least before building the txz...
I have compiled FFMPEG (and also mplayer and x264) from scratch to always run the latest version. I install ffmpeg using "checkinstall". When compiling FFMPEG manual and installing with checkinstall ffmpeg provides the following libraries: libavutil49, libavcodec52, libavdevice52, libavformat52, libavfilter0, libpostproc51, libswscale0
These can NOT be installed via apt-get (or similar) or the checkinstall will fail. So I have not installed them. The problem now is when I need to install a package (.dep or from Synaptic) that requires one of these a prerequisite. Then it is not "registered" by Synaptic that these are already provided through the FFMPEG build. I have tried to use the --provides flag on checkinstall and I can also see in Synaptic that on the ffmpeg package I installed with checkinstall that it says it provides said packages. I even have tried to modify the checkinstall script and add:
This also triggers Synaptic to list that ffmpeg replaces the packages. But still when I try to install anything that needs these packages it is not recongnized that they are provided by FFMPEG and when I install one of them (e.g. apt-get install libavformat52) then it replaces the FFMPEG library and FFMPEG stops working. So what is going wrong? Is this a bug in Synaptic? How is it possible under ubuntu to install manual compiled packages and have them "act" as correct dependencies for others?
I read this on Patrick's twitter: Considering compiling future 32-bit x86 Slackware packages for i686 and finally leaving i486 and i586 support behind. Would the devs mind sharing why the change hasn't been made? I'm guessing there must be a lot of Slackware users with 15-20 year old computers that want to run the latest software.
If I was writing a SlackBuild that repackages a precompiled binary, how would I know if it was i{3,4,5,6}86?Or should I just assume i386 unless it says otherwise?Just wondering how the people at SlackBuilds.org figure this out.
The new 2.6.35.7 kernel fails to boot on my Lenovo laptop. I had previously compiled a 2.6.35 kernel with a couple of different .config files and never had it boot properly. The failure occurs very quickly and I am including the final screenshot in case that helps.
cpuid utility is not compiled with U9.04 and the utility is not available as a package with synaptic - other distributions have it available as rpm . url
Using Lubuntu 10.10. I uninstalled Apache Server (it was once installed). But the update manager is cites many new Apache updates that I need. But again Apache is not installed anymore. Synaptic says it's not installed. I have a checker for orphaned packages it says nothing about Apache. Why does the updater say this? Maybe there's a "residue" of Apache somewhere?
We are pleased to present one of our new creations: pkgbuild, a tool written in standard C++, using libCURL, ZLib, BZip2 and libLZMA (part of XZ). It is a modern Slackware packages builder, network-transparent, multi-architecture, designed to greatly simplify the creation of a package, automatically executing the required post processing.
What does it do? Recognize and build packages for the following architectures: i386, i486, i586, i686, x86_64, IA64, IA32e, s390, s390x, sparc and sparc64.
I downloaded from http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/s...ce/n/net-snmp/ source and I build new package and works ok no errors. If I change net-snmp.SlackBuild and add CFLAGS --with-mib-modules=ucd-snmp/lmSensors --with-ldflags=-lsensors while I need lmsensors support in net-snmp. But the package compiling ends with error:
I am very happy to announce that today I succeeded to install full Slackware ARM on the pandaboard: URL...I did the following:
* sd with 2 partitions, one (vfat) for bootloaders (MLO, u-boot.bin) and uImage and the other one (ext2) for minirootfs * copy xloader (MLO), uboot and uImage from Angstrom distro on the first partition * copy Slackware ARM minirootfs on the second partition with Angstrom modules in the usual path (/lib/modules/...) * boot in ARMedslack * install all the others packages via NFS
I had to make some changes to configuration files as indicated here:URL...The next step is to build a kernel and modules for omap4 by myself and use them instead of the Angstrom ones.One question: is there any kind of package manager, such as slap-get, sbopkg, etc. for Slackware ARM? If not, can I use the SlackBuilds from slackbuilds.org? How to modify them?
I found the source, but it's missing a few header files.I tried downloading a few but it wasn't working correctly.I'd rather install this package properly.
I'm elated when I see software download pages that include a binary Slackware package.wrt KVIrc, their Slackware package is at the top of their list of binaries.They've got an rpm too, but it's SuSE, not Redhat - I found that to be pretty kewl too.I wonder if they're Slackers... hm...Well, that having been said, there's also a SlackBuild for it at the repository.I'm going to give this client a spin and see how I like it.Here's the URL: http://www.kvirc.net/?id=releases&pl...=4.0.2&lang=enUPDATE: The mirrors I checked are reporting 404 errors... bummer.
I was having a problem with a fresh 11.04 install and the VPN software I use for work. I found the fix was to upgrade the software, so I downloaded an RPM, converted it to .deb and installed it via dpkg. The install worked and the VPN software now works, but Package Manager says I have a broken package and wants to 'upgrade' to the older broken one. How can I fix this without breaking my VPN SW again?
I recently upgraded to slackware-current from Slackware 13 via slackroll, and have only encountered one problem. My file manager no longer thumbnails images, and icons (mostly PNG) aren't appearing no matter what GTK theme is set. Running from the command line produces no errors, and when brought up in something else (say feh /path/to/icon.png) it works perfectly. This is the only hitch I have encountered so far. The same thing happens with emoticons in Pidgin. Does anyone know of a fix?
If I install XFCE with "yum groupinstall XFCE", then someone adds a package to XFCE at a later date, "yum upgrade" will not add the new package as it need to already be installed for "upgrade" to work.if I issue "yum groupupdate XFCE", will yum catch the new package in XFCE?
Im fairly new with Linux (Puppy and Mint) and have only been working with Debian for 24 hours. I have come across the errors shown in the attached screen shots.
If I install (say) Iceweasel from Lenny Backports, do I need to un-install the standard Lenny Iceweasel first, or will the new one overwrite/upgrade the old one? And- I understand pinning I think, but nobody explains what the * in the line:Package: * means. Does it mean all packages installed from the release specified in the line Pin: release a=lenny-backportsor do I need to specify each package in it's own entry (in /etc/apt/preferences)?
I've been trying to install the latest updates on my Ubuntu 10.10 system but keep getting the same error in Update Manager and the terminal:
Code: dpkg: file triggers record mentions illegal package name I've tried running sudo dpkg --configure -a and sudo apt-get upgrade -f after running sudo apt-get update but to no avail.
After searching the forum and google I haven't been able to find this issue or a solution to a similar issue that works for my problem.
I have slackware64-13.0 & xfce. I installed somebody's openoffice package ( a repackaging of the rpms), openoffice.org-3.2.0_en_US-x86_64-1_rlw.txz and ran into crazy keyboard issues, double inserts of random keys when I type faster than a snail's pace liikee tthiis. I had errors from xkbcomp rolling off the screen.

Theres a package I'm going to install that is available only in 32-bit, but I have its dependencies installed as regular 64-bit. Since I'm multilib, will the 32-bit package be able to work with the 64-bit deps? If not, can 32-bit versions of the deps be installed side by side with the 64 bit?
Running against a situation here, for which I have solutions in mind, but for some reason or another they don't really strike me as "good" solutions.
I am making a customized for myself (eg with postgreSQL support) php package. Configure and make run fine; but upon make install the make tries to access httpd.conf in the $DESTDIR/etc/httpd
My first thought is: prior to 'make install' copy the file from /etc/httpd to the target dir;
I have Slackware 12.2 on a webserver and I need to install TCPD, but I don't know what package it's in. Does anyone know? I've tried searching online but that hasn't worked out too well.
after hours of searching and trying, I could not determine which kde package contains the kde system-settings gui. I'm under Xfce and would like to make some changes for my remaining KDE apps.
I,ve tried upgrade from F14 to F15 using preupgrade, but I run into serious problem. Preupgrade downloaded all packages without problem and prompt me to reboot. After reboot installation process went ok. It was upgrading cca 1650 packages. But installation hung around package 1600 (almost on end) with message that openjpeg-devel-1.4-6.fc15.i686 cannot be installed and only option to end installer. After reboot I ended up with "kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". It is still possible to enter grub menu, where I can choose upgrade to F15, but it fails again on that openjpeg-devel package. When I enter terminal after failure, I can see package is downloaded in preupgrade repo (and after moving somewhere else and running upgrade again it I got message that package is missing). Is there any possibility to skip this package installation or only option is fresh reinstall?
