In a research environment how can I ensure that all RPMs / packages that appear on one system will exist on another? I.e. when using rpm -qa all libraries on one system will be there on another. The reason for this is to ensure they are as close as possible. Is there an easy way to do this without dealing with a larger management suite tool?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to compile libetpan-0.57 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.2 64-bit and it is refusing to link against the 64 bit system libraries. I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried to hack libtool, run the command make was trying to run manually and changing the library search paths but nothing works. When I run the command make tried to run manually and change -L/usr/lib to -L/usr/lib64 most of the "skipping incompatible" library messages disappear except for "/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format."

I'm trying to install some third party software that looks for X11 libraries in either /usr/lib/X11 or /usr/lib64/X11, but both of these folders are empty on my CentOS 5.3 installation. Can someone tell me where to find these libraries, or what has replaced them? Based on what I've read so far, it looks like the xorg-x11-libs and xorg-x11-devel packages have been replaced in favor of the mesa-libGL stuff. Is this correct?

I accidentally deleted one of the libraries in /lib or /usr/lib and now when I boot into Debian, it won't load the GUI.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to compile a C++ source file into a static library using make with root privileges (i.e., using "sudo"). However, I "sometimes" get the following compilation error:
Code:
g++ -Wall -g -fPIC -W -c /home/project/ether/src/packet-ethernet.cc
ar -cvq libether.a /home/project/ether/src/packet-ethernet.o
ar: /home/project/ether/src/packet-ethernet.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [libether.a] Error 1
I checked /home/project/ether/src folder to see if packet-ethernet.o in fact does not exist, and saw that it is actually located there, but its owner is "root", which is different from the current user. If I change the owner of packet_ethernet.o from root to the current user using "chown" command and execute make again with sudo, everything seems to be fine.
It may be a coincidence that I recently migrated to 64-bit platform from 32-bit, and then installed libboost-filesystem1.40-dev. After that, I began to experience such errors. I have "never" come across such a compilation error before. Even though I completely removed libboost-filesystem1.40-dev afterwards to see if it causes the problem, nothing changed.
After migrating to 64-bit and installing libboost-filesystem1.40-dev, my application exhibited another "weird" behaviour such that it produced "hidden" files using mkdir() system call, which were previously created as regular ones on the filesystem. Can compiler options that I use cause such problems? Is it possible that libboost-filesystem1.40-dev overwrote some system libraries so that I am getting such errors ?
A much older version of the program compiled against GTK 1.2 works on CentOS 5.3
A current version of the program, compiled against GTK2, works in Slackware 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3. But I have a failure (see below) in CentOS 5.3.
The GTK library for each dist is
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.800.20 for Slackware 12.1
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.9 for Slackware 12.2 and 12.3
and
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.4 under CentOS 5.3
I have had the software working on different versions of GTK as well but no longer that that version information available.
(Below) -- I believe I've narrowed it down to the function gtk_entry_set_text in some (but certainly not all) instances.
I could provide details, but I doubt they really matter. My best guess is that libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.4 is broken. So, I'd like to replace it without learning how to compile gtk from scratch or causing problems with the rest of CentOS.
Trying to install yum-installonlyn, yumex reports a dependency error because libgif.so.4 is needed. However, that library is in /usr/lib and I also have copied it to /lib - with no success. Could anybody tell me which piece of information I am failing to give yum?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhy many Linux distros are trying to use always the latest versions of the libraries and don't save the old libraries for compatibility? I mean, I can see libtiff for example, i can found a libtiff.so.5 on my /usr/lib, but doesn't store a libtiff.so.4 or 3 just for binary applications or games. For this example, I need libtiff.so.4 for uplink.
That should happen too on the old version of sims for linux, some ID games or others.What's wrong with storing old libraries? PD: Yay, my first post on 3 years!
I installed the minimal-command line system from the kubuntu CD on my laptop, which is guess is roughly around 200mb after installation. I wish to install a Desktop Environment preferably KDE and I wanted to know how and where do I begin from? Do I need to have a working XORG prior to installation of KDE and do I also need to install Window mangers and e.t.c? What all packages/libraries and components do I need to install first? I'm really not sure where should I begin from.
Initially what I am trying to do is to have working GUI system,then later on I can install rest of the packages and software that I need, like office, GPU drivers, browser etc. Secondly,for a minimal KDE system,what metapackages are to be installed from this site? I believe kdebase, kdebase-runtime, kdebase-workspace are required. [URL]
I've a source code of a program and I know that to compile and install that program I've to do:
./configure --prefix=/opt/test
make
make install
Now I want the program to look for dependent libraries and header files first in a non system folder. Now how can i instruct "configure" and "make" script to look for dependencies first in a different folder without editing configure and Makefile. And after these folders are searched for dependencies by the script it can look in system folder. Is there any environment variable that i can supply to "configure" and "make"? Will that work without any conflict? what are these environment variables? And also if I use these environment variables do I need to edit the source code files?
I mean do I need to change these lines
Code:
#include <test1.h> ...
to
Code:
#include "test1.h" ...
If yes then is there any other way to compile them without modifying the source code?
System: CentOS 54 x86_64
While installing a software, I had to update the sqlite version that comes by default with the distribution (3.3 if I'm not mistaken). I had to uninstall sqlite and sqlite-devel with a "rpm --nodeps" because there were several dependencies ... I took the chance.
I then installed a new sqlite version from source (http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.17.tar.gz) and it went ok apparently.
Soon after I noticed problems in some critical programs like httpd, yum, rpm ... all of them failing with the following error:
error while loading shared libraries: libsqlite3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory code...
If there's a solution, how can I solve this big mess?
