Just curious how you can add libraries to /lib from the command line. My box just has a server distribution on it, so I obviously can't use synaptic. I downloaded a .tar.gz file for the libraries I need, and I assumed that you would use dpkg -i <packagename.tar.gz> but that doesn't seem to work.
View 4 RepliesWhy 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!
Is there any way to use a dynamic libraries as a static libraries instead when compiling, so that my resulting executable won't have them as dependencies?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm executing the Wolfenstein Enemy Territory installer, and since finding the first package it missed, I've been stumped.It wants a gtklib-1.2.so, and I've been on the internet looking everywhere I know, I don't like to pester with easily-solvable problems.
I've found a lot about it, however no solutions when '-ubuntu' is added - seems Ubuntu folk apt-get this and that all the time, whereas I can't find what I'm looking for in the Software Manager or Software Search on [URL] I know the missing libraries are a simply case of back-tracking a bit and installing GTK1.x type packages, the thing is I can only find 2 onwards - I have everything in 64 and 32 versions, but just too reecent it seems.
For this case and in future similar cases - where are the old-school versions to be found, and how can they easily be added to SUSE if they come in an .rpm etc? A way of adding a broader selection to the package browser?
I've been trying to use the library boost/thread.hpp but I cant get it to link. Every time I try it looks like this:

I am learning C++ and wish to include some Boost functions in my code. My machine is running Debian Linux with the pre-installed boost binarys.I have a couple of questions:How do I include the library in my C++ code as there are no cpp or h files only binary files (eg /usr/lib/libboost_regex-d.so and /usr/lib/libboost_regex-d.a)How do I comile the code. I am using DialogBlocks for creating forms using wxwidgets. The editor also compiles the code using the gcc compiler. Do I have to give an instruction to the compiler saying which file is requried and where to find it? If so, any ideas how this is done?

I have just installed from the Live Cd (Fedora 13). So far so good except that I have just installed the updates (which has taken some time) .
The updater screen shows a full progress bar and next to the progress bar is this text " checking for libraries currently in use" this has been at least one hour showing the same thing, it hasn't changed (PC is still running OK). Does this mean I can safely quit and the updates will be OK or should I keep waiting for a reboot screen or updates success message ? Is this normal, if so how long does it usually take to complete?
I am running Fedora 13 on a ASUS G71G Trying to install GTK+ 2.4.8; after installing all the dependencies(Pango, Glib2.0, ATK), I ran ./configure from my GTK+ directory. It configured for a while, then this happened: checking for X... no configure: error: X development libraries not found I tried linking them with PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<path to X lib directory>, but I got the same error message. How do I get GTK+ to recognize the X development libraries? Additionally, does the default build of X11 on Fedora 13 contain the appropriate libraries? Ive included the GTK+ configure scripts as an attachment.

What can you do when your linux system "can't find" dynamically linked libraries that are indeed installed in their correct locations? Case in point, I'm trying to run a program called 'ucanvcam':
oliver@human ~/installed/ucanvcam-0.1.6/bin $ ./ucanvcam
./ucanvcam: error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
oliver@human ~/installed/ucanvcam-0.1.6/bin $ locate libgd.so.2
/usr/lib64/libgd.so.2.0.0
/usr/lib64/libgd.so.2
oliver@human ~/installed/ucanvcam-0.1.6/bin $ ldd ./ucanvcam
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7706000)
[...]
libgd.so.2 => not found
[...]
librt.so.1 => /lib32/librt.so.1 (0xf6b1e000)
How can I tell it to look for libgd.so.2 in /usr/lib64? And more importantly, why isn't it looking there, and where is it looking?

I'll be using a specific example, but really this generalizes to pretty much any binary on linux that can't seem to find its' dependent libraries. So, I have a program that won't run because of missing libraries:
./cart5: error while loading shared libraries: libcorona-1.0.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ldd sheds some light on the issue:
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff18b01000)
libcorona-1.0.2.so => not found
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libstdc++.so.6

How do I know what libraries I'll need for a 32 bit app which I want to install on a 64 bit version of Ubuntu?
eg. imageshack app is currently available as 32 version, cant install it on 64 bit OS.
It seems to me that if I could download every single development library or dependency available for Linux/Ubuntu, that it would make my life a whole lot easier as for as acquiring software. All I would have to do then is run configure/make/make install which isn't that bad.
The problem being here that the repositories in Ubuntu suck. In fact, they suck in all Linux distributions. The only things they are good for is gathering dependencies needed to compile programs. All the packages that I actually want are frozen and therefore are outdated and useless. I've had to learn how to compile stuff just so I could get the programs working like they do in Windows. Except in Windows all I had to do was double click on the file and not spend hours figuring out what to do.
Then of course there is the other problem that about 90% of the software I need is not included in these repositories.
Have Linux people not heard of the Internet? The ultimate repository? It sure works well in Windows.
Anyway, if there is a way to download all these files in one go (because let's face it, I'll have them all downloaded eventually) I would like to know how. Even if they take up 100's of gigs it would be worth it for the savings in time and energy.

I have a library that I have ported from Windows, and is not a derivative work of Linux. The library is subject to copyright law, and I can't disclose the source. I would like to link a GPL application to this library, and want to know if the linking would cause the library to be GPL. If the library becomes GPL, is there some other way (kernel loadable module?) that I can keep my library from becoming a work of GPL?
