Software :: Installing Missing Library In / Home Folder Without Root
May 29, 2011
I would like to run Blender (3D modelling software) on RedHat Enterprise. I have a problem with missing libraries (libavutil50.so). Second problem is that I have no root access so I cannot install rpm package with libavutil50.so. Does anybody knows how can I manage this? Is it possible to install somehow libavutil50.so in my /home folder, that Blender will have an access to this library ?
I am installing a program on a server as a non-root user. Specifically it is tmux 1.5, but this should apply broadly to all locally installed program in my opinion (I mention the program name in case this problem ends up not being my own error).
The program requires me to install some dependent libraries (e.g. libevent and ncurses). So, I installed them both locally since I do not have root access
cd $HOME/library/installation/folder DIR=$HOME/local ./configure --prefix=$DIR #... make ... make install
[Code]....
Ok, so this installs the program without problems into $HOME/local/bin, but if I run the executable: $HOME/local/bin/tmux , I get the following error:
tmux: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It would seem to me that the program cannot find the desired libraries, but the file libevent-2.0.so.5 does indeed exist in $HOME/local/lib as specified in the configure options. I am wondering how I can get the program to recognize the installed library in order to run. I tried putting symbolic links in $HOME/lib, $HOME/bin, and $HOME/local/bin, but none of these worked.
i am a new bee to SUSE. and managing a db2 instance on a user db2inst1. unfortunately. one i given a command userdel -rf <another name> after this the home folder is missing . i think it was deleted after the command.
./configure script fails to configure libsf. Please check the following last few lines of configure script error.
But find command shows the following;
It seems the file libdb does exist. man dbopen displays man page for dbopen. I also tried to ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.a and libdb.so /lib dir but all were in vain.
and if i didnt customize partitions when i installsed and just used the whole drive - they're both together in the same partition right, the home just goes into the root? but it still creates a 2-3 gig swapfile?
do you recommend creating separate partitions for the home and root folder during install? is there any benefit besides being able to reinstall ubuntu without losing your data?
i tried to run lame install. on debian lenny amd64.
sudo sh /home/levi/Desktop/lame-3.98.4/install.sh
it returned errors, and i gave up on that. but it has placed a bunch of files and directories in my home folder(not in Desktop)which are owned by root. how may i delete them?
folders are ACM debian Dll doc

mv: cannot move ..... to ... No such file or directory. which i at least FEEL is certainly not the case.
My total filesystem capacity:39.9 GB(used 4.2GB,available:35.7 GB) Currently,i have only single partition. i wanna make again a new partition from the single existing partition where root(/) folder stored.
my aim is to separate the home folder from the existing partition to the new partition.
I'm running ubuntu 64-bit server edition so ill have to use the command line for this. i want to create or change a file in my own home folder, i have to do it as sudo, otherwise i get an error message saying "permission denied".
I've been using Ubuntu for the past 4 years or so and would like to give Fedora a try. I have a question - should I decide to ditch Ubuntu for Fedora I will want to install but keep my Home folder.Normally whenever I've reinstalled Ubuntu I've installed over top of my existing installation. I have 3 partitions: 1 - Root 2 - Swap 3 - Home
When I reinstall I normally format root and swap but keep home and choose my usual user name. hen I boot up after install all my settings for all my apps are retained.
If I install Fedora this way (keeping Home while formatting Root and Swap) will I get the same results?
Was installing wine 1.2.2 on ubuntu 10.10 my home folder had 60GB of free space before the installation started I chose to install manually. I installed all the dependencies manually from terminal. Then compiled wine 1.2.2 from the source code using ./configue make While running the 'make' process my 60GB home folder ran out of disk space. The make process was non ending. Ultimately it got aborted due to lack of space. Can't retrieve disk space that was lost since then. Tried with terminal commands like
Even tried to get into the wine source folder from terminal and use 'make uninstall' Nothing works and I now have only 50Mb of disk space on my home folder
I'm trying to compile programs under Solaris in my Home directory.
Ive had experience with simple installs which work with just
But with more involved programs, with dependencies on special libraries, how do I have the system look into my home directory for these? and how would I compile them into my home dir?
I've downloaded the glame tar from sourceforge.net and m having problems installing it..! tried ./configure - and this is what turns up on my screen...

I had to reformat my hard drive because I was trying to run windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 on the same drive which caused many problems. After re-installing ubuntu 10.10 alone I noticed that I no longer had access to any of the "Places" sub menus, Home folder through Ubuntu one.
I have a dual-boot macbook with an OS X partition and an ubuntu partition. When I first installed ubuntu, I changed my home folder to my OS X home directory to synchronize all my files from both. My home directory is now /media/sda2/Users/username/. In a regular home folder, the icons for Documents, Music, Pictures, Movies, etc. are different (not just with emblems, but actually different icons). But when I changed my home folder, these subfolders' icons stayed the same as regular folder icons and I can't figure out a way to change that default setting. I know how to change the icons for each folder manually, but these changes don't appear everywhere (i.e. nautilus, places, etc). Furthermore, every time I change my icon theme, I would have to manually reassign icons for these folders. Is there a way to globally change the folder icons for these folders?
i am trying to install a driver for my belkin wireless usb adapter but when i type make it says cannot find lib/modules/<debian version>/build so it does not configure the sources.

On one of my computers, I installed Lenny with Gnome and installed Firefox without a hitch. Now, on another computer I installed Lenny minimally, no desktop, just the jwm window manager and dual monitors. After installing Firefox, I have a problem.
When I try to run Firefox, it aborts with an error:
"Error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory. " I tried to install libasound.so.2 with apt-get, but no luck.
I've just updated my system from SuSE 11.2 to 11.4 (I'm using KDE desktop environment) I like to install SeaMonkey myself. I use the installer from the Mozilla site. When I try to run SeaMonkey, this is what happens:
Code: ./seamonkey-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Where do I get the missing library? I've tried searching for it on the rpmpbone site RPM Search and even they couldn't find it.
I have Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 updated to 9.10 and have downloaded Remaster from Remastersys. I followed all of the instructions, which were simple enough. However, there must be some instructions missing as the process failed. Working with Remaster through Synaptic Manager, the iso was downloaded into my "home" folder into its own Remaster folder. It was not the iso, like you get when downloading a distro from the Internet, which downloads just an iso onto the Desktop. Inside the folder were a bunch of empty files (I know, because I opened them) and an iso . At this point the Remaster instruction stop. They do not say what to do with the other files, or what they have to do with the iso of my Ubuntu layout. So, like any other iso (once I knew which one was the iso of my setup), I double clicked on it and it ran me through the process of accessing the DVD to burn it. Which I did. I tested it and it failed with some kind of message to the effect that certain files were missing or it could not read it. So, I thought, I would have to do the 'hunt and peck' method and experiment a few times like I did with the ordinary distro downloads until I get it right. But first, I would have to dump the Remaster folder in the "home" folder since it took up so much space on my hard drive. Wrong! I come to find out it is in something called "root" and that I do not have permission to do anything with it but "copy" it. Great. Just great! Now what do I do. I tried to change permissions, but was not allowed to do that either. The only thing I could think of - and dread - was the idea of having to wipe my hard drive and go through the whole reinstall procedures, which takes me days, just because Remaster has locked itself into my system - and there is no 'back door' to get out of it.
When I load a video into mplayer I get this message: Code: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I checked that this lib was installed with yum: Code: Package libvdpau-0.4-1.fc13.i686 already installed and latest version
I have tried to compile several programs from source code and have into a similar error in each case. I try make the program and I get an error like: fail program confsdefs.h. Reading further into the log file, I see there is a long list of missing library files when I compile something like Samba 3.5.x:

I have searched for dependency information and used apt-get to add anything I can find. How can I identify and find the dependencies for source? I have checked the source documentation though typically does not list required packages. My other question is how to check the path used to locate the libraries? Given the length of the missing library list, I think the problem may be configuring make.
This is the error I receive when I try to install a library. I really do not know If I could do something to skip this error message.
As you might see below. I receive the following error message Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/home/apa/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.11/RandomFields/libs/RandomFields.so': /usr/lib64/R/lib/libRlapack.so: undefined symbol: _gfortran_concat_string
Wondering if its possible to have a User's home folder that resides in a different partition (could be ntfs or ext). I don't mean mounting /home on a different partition. The home directory will still be available for adding more users but I'd like to have a specific User's folder away from /home
I'm trying to install gazebo but I would like the general solution. When I type "./configure" I get the error: "could not find gdal_priv.h" or sometimes "could not find gdal library" But I have it on my computer. It is: usr/include/gdal/gdal_priv.h This means configure is not looking in the right place for this library. Where is the path stored, please? I tried reading the configure file but I could not find it. I tried to replace all instances of gdal_priv.h by gdal/gdal_priv.h but this did not work either. I tried adding /usr/include/gdal to all the env PATH_something_or_other I could see. how to tell to ./configure where to look for libraries. What file(s) should I edit? (I tried config.status, because it contains /usr/include stuff). The files I have are:
I'm not positive if this is in the correct section but I am hoping so. I am running dual-boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. I hunted down my files from Windows that I need for school (old papers, research, etc.) and found it under "file system" --> "host" --> "users" --> "zbollman". I can access all of my files and I'm happy now that I don't have to boot between the two constantly to get what I need. However, I tried to copy the file to my home folder, but it said I do not have enough room. I'm about 5GB short. How do I go about allocating more space so that I can copy this folder so that all of my information is easily accessible?
things "seem" to work, first time I've really ever used dmraid (usually mdraid), but I'm worried about this error
dmraid -ay RAID set "jmicron_STORAGE2 " was activated
The dynamic shared library "libdmraid-events-jmicron.so" could not be loaded:
libdmraid-events-jmicron.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Two things, why no matter what I name the RAID in the jmicron bios is puts a bagillion spaces after it, and second, I cannot find the missing lib anywhere I've installed all the dmraid* packages.
I'm running FC11 on an Intel 686 server and would like to solicit some help. I'm writing an Expect script to discover our lab network and would like to insert the results into a mySQL database. I've installed Apache/PHP/mySQL via the LAMPP distribution. I've hit a brick wall, however, in trying to install the mysqltcl library. how to install the library. I have downloaded an RPM, but installatiojn is failing due to missing dependencies: libmysqlclient.so.10 and libmysqlclient_r.so.10. And I have no luck in locating and installing those.
