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
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!

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 accidentally deleted /usr/lib/libz.so.1. Now I am unable to bring up GUI(I can get into command line prompt) and also not able to create this symlink file.How can reinstall/create this package/file?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe find command does not seem to find all files in my directory hierarchy. My home directory is automounted from a server. The command to illustrate this is:find | sed -e 's/^.///' | sed -e 's//.*//' | sort -uThe result misses several directories. Likewise, a find of a particular file, like:find . -iname *sample* -printwhere sample_file.txt resides in one of the directories that is missing in the first find command, finds nothing

I am trying to do a find/grep/wc command to find matching files, print the filename and then the word count of a specific pattern per file. Here is my best (non-working) attempt so far:
wc `find . ( -name "*.as" -o -name "*.mxml" ) -exec grep -H HeightResizableList {}` ;
Is there a way to specify to find that I only want text files (and not binary files)? Grep has an option to exclude binary files, so I thought find probably has a similar feature, but I've been unable to find it.

Is it possible to run 'find' while having it omit errors when no files match the pattern?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm still learning ubuntu and I'm trying to install windows7 in either vm player or virtualbox. I've downloaded the .iso(took 2hrs) and now I'm not sure how to find it in ubuntu to either burn to c.d. or use virtually. Ubuntu used "Archive manager" as default for downloading. I'm not sure if this was correct to use,as I was thinking ubuntu is alot smarter than I. Where do I go to find the downloaded files?(and yes it's legal). I also downloaded the binary file of vmware, and again not sure what to do. I looked for windows files in <search< files, then alot of files came up, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

I can't find it with the diff command, as it says everything is common....meaning, I think, everything matches up. Yet my system monitor sees my primary drive as being 85% full and my backup (the same size drive) being 99+% filled!
Is there a linux command that would search through my file structure and list all the locations of any links? And is a "link" the only thing that would create a situation like this? P.S. That I know of, I didn't create any links. Whatever it was, seems to have started yesterday.
