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.
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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt 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 All the packages that I actually want are frozen and therefore are outdated and useless.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 need those libraries for compiling lx-viewer and dg-converter, which is described here.On this page there is solvation for my problem but still there is another one I don't speek German I have been registered [URL] where only can be downloaded but again I don't speak German (Ich spreche kein Deutsch)...

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 5 Replies View RelatedHere at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
can we use recursive download of wget to download all the wallpapers on a web page?

It says:
I cannot begin to describe. All those hours of downloading for nothing! What the heck is happening here? When I try to just continue on, I get error code 3 aborts and have to just start all over.
First I go to the following URL to download the latest version of VLC Player, which I greatly prefer to Totem or any other standard Linux video/audio player: http://www.fileguru.com/Movie-Player/download. After I click on the "Download" link, a new window appears which asks me if I want to 1) Open with Archive Manager (default) or 2) Save File. There is a drop down arrow next to the first choice which only gives "Other..." as the only other choice. Well, if I choose the first option, the download appears as an .exe file in the "Downloads" window.
A window with "Download Error" in its Title Bar appears with the following message in it: "/tmp/VLC_Player_Setup-3.exe could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." I don't even know yet how to even open up an .exe file in Linux, despite repeated research.
In both my updater applet and in YAST, I keep getting the error that:
download failed:
download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2/repodata/repomd.xml
I've been getting this error when trying to upgrade packages with slapt-get:

Not sure what's going on. I tried to use --clean and tried to use a different mirror, but still getting the error.
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:

After I downloaded the source for lua, I followed the install instructions, doing...
make linux install
make generic install
I've also done the make test and it passes, printing out Hello World, from Lua 5.1. However, I can't link to the lua libraries in CodeBlocks. I know where lualib.a is (usr/local/lib) which I set in my Search Directories for the linker. I still get error messages like...
undefined reference to lua_isstring
P.S. I had this running on Windows via Visual Studio.
I moved a program from one machine to a different one. When I run it on the new one I get errors. How do I tell what libraries it's missing and then find them?
