Ubuntu :: Can't Find/create Libz.a / "-lz" Option?
May 14, 2010
We are running Ubuntu and I want to install an oldish drawing program (inkscape, although that's not relevant). The configure file for inkscape wants libpng and the configure file for libpng wants something called "zlib" which it checks for via the "-lz" option.
There appears to be something available online called zlib but it only makes "uncompress.so" I am getting absolutely nowhere trying to figure out whether I should just rename it as libz.a (seems wrong) or whether I even have the right package to make whatever libpng wants when it is asking for the "-lz" option.
Mods: If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move. If it's in the wrong forum, please let me know if you know what the right forum might be!
(the system won't let me use the nickname everyone calls me by!)

I'm trying to compile a simple SFML test project, but whenever I try, I get an error message from ld, telling me it can't find the library I want. To simplify things, I just made the most basic test cpp file ever, and tried linking it with /usr/lib/libz.a. This is my output:
Code:
me@lappy486:~/devl/c++/SFMLTest$ gcc-4.5 main.cpp -llibz.a
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibz.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Was trying to install a more user-friendly interface to LaTeX, and realized that during the build it asks for a file ../lib64/libz.so.1.
Could somebody please share which package this library file belongs to? Its not installed on the system though

I am trying to create a LiveCD with the option of installation.So far, so good.Live and installation works well.Now I want to automate the installation. The problem is that when I run the install from the ISO, he said he did not could find the preseed file.In looking around, it seems that we should add this file in initrd But, I do not see how.I searched a few hours on the net in vain.

This may be a noob question, but I can't find the option to set the computer to hibernate after a given idle time. In the Power options there is an option to suspend, but not to hibernate.
Is there other way to set the hibernation time?

I would like to upgrade from Opera 10.10 to 10.60. I can't figure out how to do this. I thought it was supposed to give me the choice to make a fresh install or upgrade, but there is no such thing that I can find. I have looked on the Opera Downloads page and on the Synaptic package manager page. Neither of them give me the option to upgrade, only a new install. I would like to keep my old preferences, passwords, etc. I need to upgrade to fix the problems with unresponsive flash players (....., etc.)

I want to create a small simple application that will let me change the Output of the Sounds option to go from speakers to my headphones. I can do this easily enough through System --> Preferences --> Sound, but I'd like to create a GUI front end for me to do this. This is more as a learning exercise than anything else.What is the best language for me to build the windows to do this? Also, how do I find the commands to let me toggle the sound settings? Where are they documented? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

I have upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04, a a200 laptop, real old desktop (Pentium 4 with sdram), and did a complete install on a I5 with 4G of ram without any problems at all. However I could not find the "software source" option that was under Administration in 10.04 and earlier. I am in Australia and getting all of the updates from the main U.S. based server is a really slow. I used the optus server before and got much quicker updates. Is there a choose server option in 10.10 that I missed?

I just installed ubuntu on my d620.The wireless card seems to exist and looks fine but I don't know how to turn it on.It says the network is disabled everywhere I look but I can't find the option to turn it on.I know this is probably simple. Below is the output from various commands.I included my service tag which you can use on the dell site to find specifics about my hardware.I can't do ifconfig wlan0 up which is the only solution I've found online so far.

I use an atom based processor of 1.60 ghz on intel d945gclf board. My ram is a zion 1gb @ 533mhz. Hdd is from western digital 80gb @ 7200 rpm. I have a broadband(dsl) connection from bsnl dataone (a state owned telecom service provider). I connect to internet via a huawei wa1003a ethernet/usb/wireless modem which is provided by my service provider. I need a username and a password everytime i connect to internet via dial-up.
I was using windows xp service pack ii. It was nice and easy installing my modem on xp either via usb or ethernet. Both ways it was easy as i have both the drivers with me.Only and main problem was fighting viruses. I tried many free downloadable anti-virus software to protect my maching. Initially they were fine. But after few months they stopped taking regular updates and became non-functional. I also tried symantec corporate v.10. But it has its drawbacks also. It made my machine perform like a snail.I had previously heard about linux based operating systems. But never tried one. As i am an ameteur in using computers windows xp was suiting my needs. Recently i saw an article in the newspaper about ubuntu which is a free open source operating system. And most important to me it is virus free.But here is a problem also. I cannot connect to internet. My ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala is not identifying my modem and a network between my modem and my machine cannot be established. Also i cannot create a dial-up option where i can give username and password.

Recently, I reinstalled(recovered) Vista in my dual boot (with FC12) HP Laptop. After Vista recovery, I did not find any option to boot FC12. I tried to install grub in rescue mode from my Fedora DVD with command "$grub-install /dev/sda", but could not succeed. There was a message like 'grub-install not found in /sbin'.

I am trying to automate an svnadmin dump command for a backup script, and I want to do something like this:
find /var/svn/* ( ! -name dir -prune ) -type d -exec svnadmin dump {} > {}.svn ;
This seems to work, in that it looks through each svn repository in /var/svn, and runs svnadmin dump on it.
However, the second {} in the exec command doesn't get substituted for the name of the directory being processed. It basically just results a single file named {}.svn.
I suspect that this is because the shell interprets > to end the find command, and it tries redirecting stdout from that command to the file named {}.svn.

Is there a flag or option to discard case sensitivity to find whether package is installed or not?
from http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-query-parts.html
Quote:
Note, however, that RPM is a bit picky about specifying package names. Here are some queries for the C library that won't work:
Code:
rpm -q libc-5.2.1

How do I make/find a host name in Ubuntu (10.04) so someone outside my local network can connect via VNC (Remote Desktop). I went to System> Preferences> Remote Desktop, but then it says
"Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 192.168.1.102 or geordie-desktop.local."
*Note, would this error be due to my ISP?
