Where can I get ncurses developemnt libraries for Debian Squeeze. I am using the Sheeva Plug hardware platform.
Doing a make on source code that needs the ncurses dev libraries.
I'm running Debian squeeze and my packages are all up to date. I usually do my updates by typing 'aptitude update' and 'aptitude safe-upgrade' at the command line as root.Sometimes when doing regular updates aptitude, or the package that's being updated, shows a ncurses-style dialog box on the screen, usually to have the user 'OK' a change, or to select which version of a configuration file to keep. Recently I've found these dialog boxes to be slightly messed up... in that the spot at the bottom where I would expect the 'OK' button to be is replaced by nonsensical characters.
There seems to be no problem with the way that the program functions, as I can press the tab key and then the return key, or just the return key alone, and the dialog goes away, seemingly doing it's job. But I would like to know what this program is. It's likely been updated recently, but looking through /var/log/aptitude and /var/log/aptitude.1.gz I cannot figure out which one it is. I'd like to file a bug report, or simply be able to follow the progress of someone else's bug. That's all.
using squeeze and trying to install asterisk on it. after entering the ./configure command this error appears configure: error: *** termcap support not found (on modern systems, this typically means the ncurses development package is missing) i've tried to find the soultion in google, but i couldn't.

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 6 Replies View RelatedI have some ideas about writing a small game in terminal ( just for fun ) using ncurses library. I want to use some kind of menus (in Midnight Commander's style), but there are some problems with rendering windows, that I don't understand. I create a window with newwin(), assign a color pair to it calling wattron() (for example, I want to fill a window with blue background), and then I call my own function wnd_fill() :
Code: void wnd_fill (WINDOW* wnd)

On an Ubuntu Server I am running, I wrote a small Ncurses program in GCC. It worked just fine.
Then, I copied the executable over to my Ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition with sftp. No matter what I did, it kept giving the error:
error opening terminal: xterm.
I had copied other non-curses programs and they all ran just fine.
Finally, I copied over the source, recompiled with GCC and voila, the executable now runs fine.
I actually have two reasons for posting this. One is to see if there's an actual name for characters like this:Hopefully that will show up correctly for you. If not, it's a little box with four numbers in it, one in each corner. I don't know their name or their reason for showing up, so it's hard to look for help.
My main problem, though, is that I wrote a program that prints some output to a console using ncurses as it runs. These characters show up on the console, seemingly at random, and disturb the whole thing. Sometimes I'll also get sets of characters like "[13;" I'm not printing anything bizarre on there, just strings and floating-point numbers.
I'm running headless server, and need to sort all packages in YAST by size. I can't see the option in YaST anywhere.

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. I get an error message saying that something failed because the library needed did not exist (I couldn't read it because the text was scrolling by so fast, so I don't know exactly what it said). I need to find an archive or something of all the system libraries for Lenny so I can reinstall them. Is there a place online where I can download them?

However I have no idea how to get them. I've tried aptitude install ia32-libs-libnss3 like it says on the wiki but it just tells me that it can't find ia32-libs-libnss3. I've also tried aptitude install libnss3.so but it gives me the same error. I'm running amd64 Lenny 5.0.5. What should I do?

Whenever I execute: ssh-keygen -t dsa
I get the following error: ssh-keygen: error while loading shared libraries: libssp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I know it used to work, but I'm not sure if that was on Debian, or Ubuntu (before I switched to Debian over a year ago).
Sorry if this is one of those questions with a blatantly obvious answer. I've spent hours searching the Internet for a solution, and trying various things, but to no avail.
I have even tried downloading libssp.so.0 and putting it into /lib/ and /usr/lib/, but the problem still exists. I've also tried reinstalling ssh, openssh-client, openssh-server, gcc, libc6 and several other packages after clearing Aptititudes cache. I'm aware that some of these may have absolutely nothing to do with the problem, but I am getting desperate here. I can also confirm that screaming and making threats to my monitor doesn't seem to help either. I have a screwdriver and a rather large hammer sat here to use as a last resort, but I hope it won't come to that..
I'm having some issue running a wine application, this seems to not start 'cause of some missing libraries.
So I tried to locate those and the only one I found is this:
# locate libxcb.so.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1.1.0
These others don't show any result, but I checked and all the corresponding deb pkgs are installed (both amd64 and i386):
libx11.so.6
libxext.so.6
libgl.so.1
libc.so.6
What do you think I can do to resolve? I aleady tried a reinstall. Not tried to purge 'cause apt asks to remove half of the system.
I just set up my Debian Squeeze (previously I was an Ubuntu/Kubuntu user) with KDE and Catalyst 10.8 to run my HD5070 graphics card. I've read alot on various forums of all the 5xxx users like me unable to properly setup the system and others who say thier video watching, wine game playing and composition are working fine. The problem is tearing while playing video or manipulating windows within the DE. I have read ALOT about this subject as it is obviously very important to me. I've read alot 60+ page threads on phoronics full of names like xv and libva and about using mplayer with gl so on and so forth. Problem is, I can't find a wiki to explain how they mesh together. My questions are:
1. Are certain libraries compiled with acceleration support?
2. If so, why are other libraries not compiled with acceleration support?
3. I get a feeling the libraries these guys are using are different ffmpeg and stuff that those in the repos. Are they?
4. If so, where do you get them?
In short, how does one get compositing and watch a movie tear free (the tearing occurs with or without compositing)? No amount of xorg.conf playing fixes it and the driver is properly installed with direct rendering.
I am trying to install streamripper (arm) to an nas machine, but arm didn't really required installation, so it was basically a file called streamripper in the directory:/ mnt/sda1/ streamripper the version. I am trying to get it to work is: streamripper_1.63.5-2_arm
But there seems to be an error message that says could find the library, I tried to look for this file, it is in a mad package, but I am not sure which one specifically to choose for and where "exactly" to put under:
Code: sh-3.1# /mnt/sda1/streamripper start/mnt/sda1/ streamripper: error while loading shared libraries: libmad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory the streamripper file is under /mnt/sda1/streamripper

Out of ncurses lib. and the termios struct which can be used best for the above purpose and why ?I tried to search on Google, the differences between these two but couldn't get much !
I didn't do enough research beforehand and just discovered that while gcc 4.1 is still packaged, g++ 4.1 is not. I am working on a project with unsupported libraries (don't ask) and can only build successfully with g++ 4.1.*I see that there are packages for Lenny. Is it safe to install these under Squeeze?Being new here I am not sure where else to look for third party packages is, so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. I'd very much prefer not to try to build from source as I'll almost certainly clobber my 4.4 install in the process.

how to install Dropbox for Debian Squeeze from source.Please read everything before you begin. I prepared it as I installed Dropbox for my own system. Please Note: I use sudo, you may have to use root or 'su' from the command line. If you don't know the difference between sudo and su, then you shouldn't try this until you know. At the time I did this, the lastest dropbox version was 0.6.7.

I've just install debian squeeze version, or the testing one, but I am not really happy with it. Is not listening me all the time. If I install the debian stable I don't have internet connection. Is it possible to update the kernel somehow using the testing version?
