I decided I was going to compile XChat from source today for "fun." What I ended up doing was spending a few hours getting it to compile, then find out everything didn't work the way I thought it did. I was under the impression that after I ran "sudo make install" I was "upgrading", when in reality I'm just installing a seperate version alongside the old one. Apparently I have to keep the old version so every program that was compiled with it will continue to work, so how do I:
1) Force a program to use a specific version of GTK when compiling. 2) Find where my version of GTK installed to.
I've asked some people and I've just been told to "learn LD_PRELOAD". I've googled and can't figure how I could even apply that to my current problem
i want to install a program called VMPK its a virtual keyboard, but through googling i seem to keep running in circles. The program comes as a tarball, which i have no idea how to install (still semi new to Linux... within my first 2 months)... i have read something about compiling it as an RPM but i cant seem to find anything else other than that... this is probably something super simple
I'm using VirtualBox on MacOS and I need to install version 10.0.4 of Ubuntu.The setup for VirtualBox only allows you to specify Linux > Ubuntu (64-bit).How can I install a particular version? I've been told that you can download it as a disk image and install it in VirtualBox somehow: can anyone point me at more details?
I am trying to install asterisk on my box. When I use "apt-get install asterisk", version 1.6.29 is installed. Is there a way I can install 1.4 instead?
I would like to install a program called VariCAD. I downloaded the install file (full file name: varicad2010-en_2.06_amd64.deb) but was wondering if one couldn't somehow do this via the repository, kind of like I did for my nvidia drivers? Is it possible?
I would like to adjust the journal program called lifeograph. First I would like to build it, clean without any adjustments.
I'm using this version: [URL]
Readme file says:
Requirements ----------- Lifeograph requires the following modules to be built: * gtkmm, * gconfmm, * gtkspell, and * gcrypt. Installation ------------
Type "make" to build and "make install" to install (all without quotes). No configuration atm.
I tried make, but it doenst really work. So i think i dont have good requirements.
-> how do I install the required modules? -> I've found some in packet manager, but some appear to be librarys.
I had downloaded Bluefish editor from the Ubuntu Software center, some time ago... but today I just visited their new site and I found out that their latest stable version is 2.0.0 where as I have the 1.0.7.
how do I remove the existing one and install the latest stable release? I searched in the software center but it wasn't available. what do I do and how do I get the latest release....
this is the instruction given but can't understand it.
I thought about this a while ago when reading through a Python tutorial and I googled some and couldn't find an answer. Now I want to know it for Ruby, also, and it's more important now because I want to invoke Ruby with -w.
How can you use:
Code:
with a -w option to ruby, like:
Code:
This doesn't work and I can't find an explanation of how to do it.
I have used Linux off and on over the years and had to go back to windows because of a problem I could not solve. That is no longer true and I have been using Linux (Ubuntu) for the last year or so and I consider it superior to other OS'S and a BIG thanks to all who contribute to make it so great and free. My question is that on some versions of Ubuntu some hardware might work fine(or an package for that matter)and in the next version it might not work. Are new drivers required for every new version? Do all driver work for all versions of Linux using the same kernel?
For many years I have programmed in all areas of Windows GUI with both the Windows API and MFC but I'm wanting to switch to ubuntu and have never programmed anything in linux before. Where would I find information for programming GUI for linux and what compilers should I use coming from a C++ background.
Having an Error with a commercial Account program Called Pastel Accounting [URL]When I invoke multiuser Access to opening one account set of books with multiple users for opening one account, it produces an error. I'm able to open the one set of books with a password. But when trying open the same set of books from another computer, it produces an error. The attached file shows the error. The Database engine is Pervasive Corporate Site > Home. This is the version I'm running and my script below. Samba version 3.5.8-30.1-2516-SUSE-SL11.3-i386
I want to record an internet radio station starting at 2:00am tomorrow morning. The specific program on the radio station lasts until 6:00am. The command I need to run to record the station is: Code:mplayer http://wjcu.jcu.edu:8001/listen.pls -ao pcm:file=indie_heat_of_the_night.wav -vc dummy -vo nullI'd use cron, but 1. I'm not sure how to and 2. it seems unnecessarily complicated for something that I only want to run once. If cron is the only/easiest solution, I guess I'll just have to resort to that, but I'd rather not.
I have recently acquired a VA Linux 1220 Server 2x P3 866MHz 1GB RAM 80GB HDD. It's Totally blank (incl no OS) and looking for any newbie information that I might need to know to get started, including the OS version. Basically, as I said i'm totally new to this, We have Hosting Servers at work that I have been playing around with some vi commands etc.. And would like to study/learn at home...
I was wondering how/if it was possible to edit the min. version number of a depen for a .deb package. For example lets say my package says it needs libc6 2.7.1 or higher but I want it to be 2.5.1 or higher instead. Can I make this change with out having to recompile the .deb package?
I feel there's a bit of a misunderstanding going on between C++ and me...My problem is that I have a deque of pointers to a class, and create objects then add them to the deque in a for loop. However, the destructor is called on the object as soon as the loop quits.
Code:
This prints:
Code:
Now, if I change the deque from deque<Test*> to deque<Test> then it works fine - I get:
Code:
However, I can't do this with my actual code, because I am creating a deque of pointers to an abstract class, so it won't let me instantiate the class. (This is all so that I can take advantage of polymorphism, and call functions on a set of similar objects without worrying what type of object I'm dealing with).
So, I suppose my question is: what is the correct way to create that deque of pointers to the abstract class? I don't seem to be barking up the right tree currently.
I don't know if you have heard of Nvidia FREE Rendering program, called Nvidia Gelato.
I've logged on thw web, and tried to look it up on the web. I found the webpage, but all the download link's seem to be broken.
[url]
Does anyone know if this is happening for any reason? Am I missing something? If it is broken and there is no other solutionn, Can someone send me the Gelato 2.1 Rendering source for Ubuntu 9.10?
where I can obtain a RPM of a program called "aacgain"?
It 'normalizes' the volume of m4a, mp4 and m4v files quite nicely. It used to be in the Packman repositories but I cannot find it in the ones for openSUSE 11.4 and going back to openSUSE 11.2 (my previous install) I cannot find it there either. I used to have it installed though and it still has a page on Packman's search page, here, PackMan :: Package details for aacgain . It is rather odd, its website, AACGAIN , says that it can only be released as source code due to licensing issues but I can't seem to find it in the zip of the source code for "mp3gain" like it says it is on SourceForge.
I would just like it back on my system after I upgraded to openSUSE 11.4 and I find it rather useful so I am missing it quite a lot.
Can I set up my system to use a specific processor to do one task, and another processor for normal applications.
Say for example, I'm using a program that relies heavily on your processor, I have a dual core, so I can use one core for that, and another for normal applications.
I just upgraded my storage server to maverick and it seems the 2.6.35-25 kernel doestn like the hardware im using since im pretty sure its a hardware related problem and the previous kernel hastn the issue im currently booting this old kernel everytime i need the server by hand (using Shift during boot for the grub menu to appear)
well, it narrows down to the following question: how can i exclude a specific grub entry - in my case the current kernel 2.6.35-25 - so only previous kernels OR future kernels from the next updates will have a chance to boot?
I am trying to upgrade RHEL 5.0 to a specific SP...5.2, is it possible to specify the version you want to upgrade to versus an update all that will take it to the latest release?
I run a bunch of CentOS 5.6 servers, where we continuously deploy our software. Our software comes in self-made rpm packages from a network-local yum repository. As bugs happen in software development, I sometimes want to downgrade to the previous release, so force the installation of a specific version of the package.I tried the allow-downgrade plugin, but so far no luck. Neither yum update nor yum install seem to work with allow-downgrade. (It does not seem to do anything?). Does anyone have a working example for yum --allow-downgrade?
This is what I tried: 1) Show current yum version [root]# yum --version
I installed ubuntu 9.10 in english on a desktop pc. other users of that machine need to use it in other languages, and I was wondering if it is possible to install translations of specific programs like banshee, digikam, etc. and how to do it.
Is there a way to make a program use a specific network interface ? When using my laptop at work i may be physicaly connected to multiple networks. i was wondering if i can make sure that certain applications use a specific network interface. I would google around for the answer but i cant figure out how to phrase it correctly for a search.
