I'm attempting to compile the latest version of VLC from source. I'm able to run ./configure without any errors, however when I try to make I receive the following error. I don't want to install the program from the repositories because it's outdated and the tray icon doesn't blend in.

I am trying to compile a kernel in the following directory:/usr/src/kernels/2.6.30.9-102.fc11.x86_64
Note I am not trying to build an rpm but just do a simple make. After configuring with make menuconfig I issue the make command and get the following error:
Code:

how to resolve this error? It seems to be fedora-centric.
I have an F14 system which was created by preupgrade in two stages from an F12 system. I had a couple of preupgrade crashes along the way, but was able to resolve them and the installation appears to be working fine except for some minor yum problems. Yum appears to be confused about which release it is at. It has a number of 'fedora-release' packages installed:
Code:
Installed Packages
fedora-release.noarch 12-2 @updates
fedora-release.noarch 13-1 installed
fedora-release.noarch 14-1 installed
[Code]...
If I include --releasever=14 in each yum operation, things seem to work normally. However if I leave this out, every yum operation creates hundreds of 'duplicate package' messages, and fails to proceed. I assume if I could remove the outdated release packages, the problem would be resolved - but I haven't been able to find how to do this.
Trying to understand version nr. of RPM package and release nr.I have the following package e.g.
tree-1.5.3-2.el6.x86_64.rpm.
tree ---> package name
1.5.3 ---> version
2 ---> release
e16 ---> operating system major version
x86_64 ---> cpu architecture
What is the difference between version nr vs release nr ?
I have installed Arch Linux quite a few weeks ago; but I'm still trying my best to install the nividia display driver for my graphics card (nVidia Geforce 2 MX 400). Not only in Arch but have tried installing on other distros and still failed. I have read up all the documentations and I still find it hard to do this task. When I used the terminal and executed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-94.43.01-pkg1.run file without any window manager running, I get this problem:
ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/build'. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at nvidia.com.
Now I'm using Arch Linux Kernel 2.6.35 and I have got the source. But where am I suppose to put it now? I do not want to change the kernel. I just want the nVidia installer to identify that there is a kernel source so that it can install. I have searched up a lot on websites and ended up with no proper guide.
This is a very old driver. So since now I have the nVidia driver installation package and also the kernel source,

Shortly after upgrading to Meerkat I discovered that my macbook timemachine backups became unreliable to the point of uselessness. After a bit of googling it appears that Meerkat's version of Netatalk (2.1.2) has some issues that bust timemachine. These issues are supposedly fixed in version 2.1.3. So... what is the best way for me to go about upgrading Netatalk past the official Meerkat release version?
The Netatalk project is at version 2.1.5. I could uninstall the Meerkat packages and just try to build Netatalk directly from source. However I'm a little leary about losing all of my existing AFPD filesystem meta-data. The Natty Narwhal repository appears to have version 2.1.4 which I've read should solve my problem. Is there any way to install the binaries from the Natty repositories? Can I download the source package from the Natty repositories and rebuild the package with Meerkat libraries/dependencies?

1. I was trying to compile a new version of blender from source.
2. It wasn't working. Apparently it is using python 3.2 now.
3. So I grabbed the source of python 3.2, compiled and installed. I think.
4. Still wouldn't compile. Couldn't find python 3.2.
5. So I went in to usr/share/python and changed debian-defaults to use 3.2 as the default.
6. To do that I made myself the owner of the usr directory
7. Now my system is buggered.
8. How do I restore roots privileges (if thats the problem)?
Sometimes a kernel image seems to have the same version as the backported kernel image, for example:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently have a server that is running on the Linux kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen and I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade it to a new official Red Hat non-xen kernel(currently 2.6.37.1).What is unique about this kernel is that it is NOT a virtual system kernel but an older XEN kernel with proprietary material removed.If it is possible I was wondering about any repercussions that may occur as a result of said update. This would include, any issues with potential data/driver losses as well as recovery procedures that may be used if something would happen to it during the upgrade.

No matter which glibc I use, I get the error that I need a compiler that supports visibility. I'm using 4.4.5, so it can't be too old.What is the visibility for gnu, this is a compile for glibc.Any glibc fails for the same reason. I can't compile an older version of gcc, more errors. Is it possible to turn off the check for visibility?

I'm not one of those people who needs to have the latest and greatest kernel to be happy, I just rely on the update manager. I swore that I saw an update for a new kernel, but my kernel version hasn't changed. I'm just curious if there was a new kernel that was released or if that was just an update to the kernel listed above.

I had gcc-4.4 as default on my pc, so after this error I downloaded an older version (gcc-4.1) and removed with rm the symbolic link in /usr/bin pointing to gcc-4.4 and created a new one pointing to gcc-4.1. Now when I type gcc -v in the terminal it says that gcc is in the packages gcc and pentium-builder, to do an apt-get install. I tried that but than it says that gcc-4.1 is already the newest version. It seems that I have multiple versions of gcc installed but neither the terminal nor matlab can find them.
Is there an easy way to update Perl from repos or do I need to compile from source to get a newer version?
Longer version
I'm trying to set-up MailScanner which requires a newer version of Perl IO than CentOS 5 appears to have in it's standard repos. I've also tried updating Perl from the rpmforge repo - but that just results in a bunch of transaction conflicts being reported by Yum. Is there another way of updating Perl from repos?
