Ubuntu :: NEWB - Installing Programs From Source?
Sep 7, 2010
Im trying to install mupen64plus, but to be honest, everything i have installed is from the package manager.I have no idea how to do this through the terminal. But I tried installing the mupen64plus from the package manager, and everytime I open a rom, mupen64plus closes and doesnt load anything....
That version was 1.5, and I downloaded 1.99.3 or whatever it is from the mupen site, but I cant get the sucker to install. There is a install.sh file which I chmod +x too. I then tried, ,/install.sh, make install.

I tried installing the latest Mupen64Plus from source, and something went wrong, and now I get errors when trying to run it. How do I remove the link that was created from the source install?
This is what I get code...

When I go to sites like kde-apps.org or gtk-apps.org i often times find that lots of programs there are available only in source code? Why? Why is it so hard for the developer to compile the package or to make that .deb or .rpm package? I'm sure it's easier for the developer to compile his own program than for a linux user... i don't get this.. why does everything come in source code?

I know that Linux is open source but there must be ways of creating non-open source programs to be run on a Linux system? Does such a thing exist and/or have a name? Would any source code that has been compiled be unable to be read by anyone properly unless the soruce code was released?

When I wanted to uninstall, I type "make uninstall" on the directory source, and it uninstalled the program.
But today, I have installed a program which i want uninstall.
I type "make uninstall" and i get this:
Code: make:
How can I uninstall the program?

Where do I find the linux-source package and the linux-headers package? Are they on the CD that I can copy to /usr/src (is that the right place...)? Or do I need to download them from the old-releases.ubuntu.com site?
The issue now is that the nVidia installer from their website wants the source code to build the right packages for this machine, however, I do not have the src directory with the source code that it is looking for. Is there some way to give this too it now?
I am running Mythbuntu 7.10

I am currently writing some convenience methods for my terminal in my bash_profile and am sure if what I am writing is "the best way". I figure a good way to verify whether what I'm doing is right or not would be to find some source code of more established programs and see how they do it.My question then is, where can I find this code on my Mac? An example is, with Macports installed, where is the source code that opens the port interactive console when I type nothing but "port" in my shell?(I added Linux in the title even though I am on a Mac because I assume the answer would be the same for both)

I'm affraid that the compiz forum might be dead already because of the massive spam there.. just found an old laptop @work i could now use for private stuff so i decided to install debian-squeeze + compiz (which i've first seen on a knoppix-cd in combination with lxde i think).So far... it's an Acer TravelMate 291LCi:Pentium M 1.4GHzIntel 855GM chipset'Modified' 60GB HDD (normally 30GB)256MB DDR SDRAMMy first steps -> I found out that squeeze got no xorg.conf :/ ... X -configure brought me some probs after i tried a different how-to's... so all ended up in a mess... :at-wits-end: Second step -> Brand new installation of debian squeeze-> booting Knoppix-CD and copied xorg.conf from knoppix to hdd...Then followed this How-To: http://www.surlyjake.com/2009/08/compiz ... n-squeeze/and installed compiz + ...Also checked customized xorg.conf I copied from Knoppix -> O.K! :dance:

...but not just any kind of distro. Im talking about a text based distro where I will be able to write text only documents on a black screen as well as save them. I do not wish to run internet or anything else, just a text editor and a directory.

installed debian yesterday my problem is when running debian lenny on a gateway t1628 laptop, my computers hard drive is always spinning when running debian andt caused the computer to over heat and shut down automaticly.At least I think its the hard drive. when I use vista I don't have this problem. It has over heated a few times but I was running a lot of processes and had the hard drive loaded with a bunch of resource hogging programs.I'm running the amd64 architecture. I also haven't been able to configure the network yet. I had problems with that on the install but I need to take one problem at a time and being able to run for extended periods of time is first and formost.

I'm having a problem installing programs via synaptic. supposing I issue the command: sudo apt-get install <program> (and assuming the program is in the repositories), I get an error like follows:
I have no idea what this means, and googling has not turned up anything appreciably helpful. It does this for anything I try to install via synaptic, both the command line or gui versions.
The full error output is below:

I'm trying to install Adobe Air written for Ubuntu 11.04 [URL]. I downloaded it and have it saved in "downloads". I tried opening it with Synaptic, but it won't recognize it. My hope is to use Air to run a Windows program. Air drives the database.

My Jaunty has always had problems about connecting to the internet. Only one person I know of has been able to help me connect it to the internet and I can't find him anywhere, (Not ont he internet, in real life) so I figure that instead of trying to connect to the internet to get all my favorite programs, I should just download the programs to a flash drive and put them on that way. Only problem is that Once I get the program onto the flash drive How do I tell my computer to install from the flash drive? what to type int he terminal. I don't even know what most of the terminal type stuff means.

I'm trying to install a program which requires Java VM. The installer is a install.bin file, coming with a eclipse folder; in this folder, you can find a "jre" directory. I also installed Coconut Java virtual machine, as well as OpenJDK Java 6 runtime environment. However, I still can't install the program. Executing the installer gives me this error message:
Code:
Preparing to install. Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive. Configuring the installer for this system's environment. No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH environment variable. You must install a VM prior to running this program. I think I should make Java VM available to the installer somehow, but I don't know how. I tried searching online but couldn't figure out the answer. Please help.

I have an eeepc 701 4gb running Ubuntu eeepc, however I have two major problems:
1) I have run out of disk space even for upgrading the operating system and essential software such as flash. There is nothing on my eeepc that I dont deem essential and no files just programs.
2) I get an error message saying my disk is being used outside of designed paramaters and may be faulty (ironically it also says my battery is faulty but it is working fine)
As such I want to buy a 16gb or 32gb SDHC card and use that as my main harddrive (cheaper than buying a new one and they are on offer atm). I know how to do this on XP but I would much rather keep Ubuntu.

So I just downloaded Ubuntu to be put on my other partition(I have a C: and a D: drive) So stupid me had a brain fart and ended up not making a new partition and putting Ubuntu on the D: drive which was 3/4 of my total hard drive. So now I have 120 GB for Windows and 350 GB for Ubuntu. So I went to Gparter on Ubuntu and tried to open it and it had an error before it even opened. And when I first went in to Ubuntu it had like 2 things pop up with errors. So I went back to Windows 7 and tried to use the partitioner there and it wouldn't let me expand my C: drive. What am I supposed to do?

I don't yet have an internet connection on my machine so I am using cyber cafes to do my research and whatnot. However, most of the stuff I read concerning updates and installations rely heavily on the machine using an internet connection to automatically install various packages.I don't mind reading up myself on this kind of thing but I think I need a pointer in the right direction as "ubuntu package install without apt/get" doesn't bring up much on a google search (the only entry on the first page is a post on this forum back from 2005 about kernal compiling!).
As an example, the file I would like to install is "aircrack-ng-1.0.tar.gz", which I've already downloaded and saved to my machine's desktop. I'm not really asking how to install aircrack, per se, but just any kind of package without relying on an internet connection (i.e. download the program/package to a flash disk and then on to my machine).

OS: Ubuntu 10.04.
When I try to install some packages by aptitude, I see this:
Before it, I made it (sudo apt-cdrom add):
And it (sudo apt-get update):
My dvd-disk is not broken - md5 checksum is right. In sources.list I have only cdrom source, without any network repositories. When I install one package (for example pptp-linux) which don't use any depending, it work good, but when I have some group of packages - installed only first package from this group, you can see this in a first image, marked by yellow color and set to 16 percent.

Since I cannot find a deb of thunderbird 3.3, I would like to find another way to install 3.3 on maverick. I have no experience installing from source, so I may need to be coached through it step by step, but I am eager to learn and VERY motivated Why? I am trying to switch from gmail webmail to thunderbird, because of enigmail and privacy. However, I have been spoiled by gmail's elegance, and in order to get the conversation view add-on, so thunderbird still looks like gmail, the add-on requires the 3.3 version of thunderbird. The latest stable version which is in the repos (maverick) is older (3.1). I have already have done the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
then i downloaded the files and extracted to my home directory.now, according to the ubuntugeek, I should execute the following commands:
Code:
./configure make
sudo make install
clean install
but I have a few doubts:
1) Should I first uninstall thunderbird 3.1? and enigmail?
2) Where do I install it, so it can still find my mails and work as now?
3) If it doesn't work out, can I go back, and if so, how? Once installed, will it be uninstallable from apt or synaptic?
4) Will Ubuntu continue to upgrade my thunderbird once a newer version is available at some time in the future?

I've installed several programs. Some installed and worked, some did not. I installed Konversation and Audacity. Both work fine. When I installed bitpim via RPM downloaded from bitpim.org it installed fine. It is not in the applications area. I type Alt+F2 and i start to type in bitpim (it types the rest) and press enter. nothing happens.
i installed PythonCard through the terminal using yum install PythonCard. It installed fine and it is not in applications and is nowhere to be found. However when I type yum install PythonCard again in the terminal it says it is up to date. So I removed it and reinstalled. Same problem.
