attempting to install new kernel, error modules.order & Makefile Error 2 - sed

Attempting to install a new kernel.
once it is compiled, I enter:
su -c "make modules_install install"
this error populates :
sed: can't read modules.order: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1304: _modinst_] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:327: __build_one_by_one] Error 2
What is the solution?

I've had the same issue compiling Linux Kernel 5.6.14 on Debian 10.4 using config from my current working Linux Kernel 4.19.0 inside VirtualBox.
make oldconfig
make
make modules_install
gave me the same output. After commenting line CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS in config which I copied to Linux Kernel 5.6.14 source directory and repeating from the start make took much longer and then I was able to do make modules_install.
Found here, don't know why it worked, sorry I'm new at this.

I just went thru the same thing. The problem appears to be the make commands used to build the kernel and modules. In the old days, you could just do "make bzImage" then a "make modules_install". This current results in no modules. If you are building a newer kernel, you should do "make V=1 all" then a "make modules_install". I think this streamlines the compiling of modules. It is the method recommended in the kernel admin-guide.

That is actually because you did not compile the modules. Please try make -j nproc before make modules_install again.

C compiler cannot create executables after installing dependencies

So I've boned my system. I'm running LFS with xfce and it has been running perfectly. I needed to install a video editing package and some dependencies (AppStream, stemmer) but they failed during the install. At the time I didn't think much about it and decided to come back to it later. Now when I run the configure, it get a message:
error: C compiler cannot create executables
I decided to create a test file that just outputs "Yo Dude!" in the terminal. When I try to compile it I get the message:
error: no include path in which to search for stdc-predef.h
It seems as if it can't find the library files, even putting the absolute path to stdio.h doesn't work. I did notice that gcc now shows as 11.2.0 but when I installed the system, I installed 12.2.0. I downloaded 12.2.0 but it won't compile. I can't compile because gcc is broke and I can't install gcc because gcc is broke. I'm trying not to re-install the system. Any suggestions on how I can get around this?

Command line tools not accessible from Eclipse on OSX

I am using Eclipse on a macOS machine. CMake is present on my machine at /usr/local/bin/cmake and has been installed using Homebrew. Eclipse is at the latest version (2018-09).
I have the following target in a Makefile, which has been set up and is visible from Eclipse:
all:
./configure
Rscript -e "Rcpp::compileAttributes()"
R CMD INSTALL --no-multiarch --with-keep.source .
Inside the configure file, there is this code:
cd src/build;cmake ..
However, when I double click the all target in Eclipse, I get the following message:
make all
./configure
./configure: line 1: cmake: command not found
make: *** [all] Error 127
I remember that some time ago this target worked out of the box on macOS. I can also launch CMake from a terminal without any trouble.
echo $PATH shows different behaviour:
If called from a standard macOS terminal, it yields /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/opt/X11/bin
If called from a TM Terminal inside Eclipse, it yields /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
What is the most canonical way to have Eclipse detect my CMake installation ?
For macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, the solution provided here works. This must be performed to see the changes immediately.

Error: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found

I am trying to compile matconvnet-1.0-beta20 with Matlab 2016a on Ubuntu 16.04. Initial phase of compilation works fine:
untar('http://www.vlfeat.org/matconvnet/download/matconvnet-1.0-beta20.tar.gz') ;
cd matconvnet-1.0-beta20
run matlab/vl_compilenn
The error happens when I run vl_simplenn(network, image) which gives following error:
Invalid MEX-file '/home/matconvnet-1.0-beta20/matlab/mex/vl_nnconv.mexa64':
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2016a/bin/glnxa64/../../sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6: version
`GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /home/matconvnet-1.0-beta20/matlab/mex/vl_nnconv.mexa64)
To understand the cause of problem, I run /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBC which doesn't give any output bash: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: Permission denied
Also more /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 gives no output:
******** /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: Not a text file ********
I did some research and found some possible solutions:
http://it.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/162466
The problem is that MATLAB secretly changes LD_LIBRARY_PATH on startup
to point to the MATLAB version of GLIBC++, so that GLIBC++ 3.4.9 can
no longer be found. The solution is to modify matlab/bin/.matlab7rc.sh
so that "LDPATH_PREFIX" contains the path to the version of GLIB
installed with your compiler, then this is found before the
matlab-supplied library.
so I edited /usr/local/MATLAB/R2016a/bin/.matlab7rc.sh and modified LDPATH_PREFIX='' in 195th line to LDPATH_PREFIX='/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'.
After applying this change, the problem still exist.
As suggested here, I copied .matlab7rc.sh to current working directory of project, but still error persist.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/719028/version-glibcxx-3-4-21-not-found
According to first answer, running this command
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/bin/glnxa64/../../sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6
gives an error:
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/bin/glnxa64/../../sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6': No such file or directory
Seems like second solution suggests changes of LD_PRELOAD path in .matlab7rc.sh, but it is not anywhere inside the file.
How to tell mex to link with the libstdc++.so.6 in /usr/lib instead of the one in the MATLAB directory?
From Matlab directory in /usr/local/MATLAB/R2016a/bin$ I run
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
but the problem still exist.
Maybe there I didn't apply the solution in the correct way Or maybe there is another solution elsewhere that I didn't find. Please let me know, I am very confused!!!
You need before execute (matlab in my case) add path of library:
In console execute this:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 matlab
I had the same problem.
In my case, to solve it, I first ran "locate" to list all the possible versions of the library in the system.
locate libstdc++
As an example, I report the result on my system
I then set the most recent version of "lib" by exporting the environment variable:
export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.21"
So, the fullpath of the library to be set depends on where it is allocated in your system.
There are 2 possible solutions:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
Install this package:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
MAYBE the second solution you mentioned really works, but you have done it before. So you cannot operate in the same way again because you have ever linked /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 to usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/bin/glnxa64/../../sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6. TRY rebooting?
Also, you use MATLAB R2016a, but this command applies to R2014a. Was it that you ignore this point?

Cannot install Date::Calc perl module

I'm running Solaris on my machine and I would need to install the Date::Calc perl module in order for one of my scripts to work.
When I run the following command:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Date::Calc'
I get the following error:
Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (Bit::Vector)
STBEY/Date-Calc-6.3.tar.gz
[dependencies] -- NA
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
I have no prior experience in Perl development, so I have no clue about what the error might be or where to get more information.
What should I do to fix this?
When trying to install Bit::Vector first, i.e. when running the following command:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bit::Vector'
i get the following error message:
Checking if your kit is complete...

I installed gcc via the following commands (as adviced here):
pkg install gcc-45
pkg install system/header
but I still get the same error when trying to install Bit::Vector. Indeed, when I type cc on the command-line, I get the command not found error. When I type gcc, however, I get gcc: no input files.
The error means that Bit::Vector (a dependency of Date::Calc) failed to install for some reason. Bit::Vector requires compiling C code, which means your CPAN configuration will need access to the C compiler and libraries (and headers) that were used to build your perl.
From what I understand, that can sometimes be painful on Solaris.
If you have another C compiler available, you might consider building and installing a local Perl using perlbrew.
So it turns out that the only option is to install the Oracle Solaris Studio prior to installation of new perl modules which need to compile C code.
From a related discussion at Oracle Solaris forum:
CC modification in /usr/perl5/5.12/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int/Config.pm
will not resolve the compilation issue. New errors will be produced
and some part will not use this variable.
By default, this method to build modules will use perl compiled
options. And in this case, as we used Oracle Studio, this software
will be required because some options are not available with gcc.
I tried with Oracle Studio, and the compilation was done successfully.
If you want to use gcc, then this will be very tricky to modify
several perl config files. An another method is to compile manually
each necessary modules after you customize each Makefile.

Building emacs 24.1.50

I've just updated to Kubuntu 12.04. Everything works fine except for the latest custom-build emacs. It says now:
emacs: symbol lookup error: emacs: undefined symbol: gtk_window_set_has_resize_grip
So I've decided to re-build emacs. For that I've git pull the latest snapshot, and have done everything as I usually do, but now I get an error during compilation:
In file included from /home/boris/its/blds/emacs/lib-src/emacsclient.c:76:0:
../lib/getopt.h:196:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct option’

/usr/include/getopt.h:175:12: note: previous declaration of ‘getopt_long’ was here

make[1]: *** [emacsclient] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/boris/its/blds/emacs/lib-src'
make: *** [lib-src] Error 2
Google search reveals almost nothing on these errors.
Edit:
The following solves it (thanks to JSON):
git pull
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/home/boris/its/soft/Emacs_24.1.50
make bootstrap
make install
The simplest way is to use PPA: emacs-snapshot.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cassou/emacs
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot
I had these problems updating to Ubuntu 12.04, and got past it by going back to the instructions from INSTALL.BZR for first time checkout - it seems the configure file needs to be regenerated due to changes in libc in the new version of Ubuntu.
This is what I do to build emacs after a git pull (my script to do it nightly)
make distclean && autoreconf -i -I m4 && ./configure && make && sudo make install
i had the same problem than the op, and i just removed emacs from the system, and compiled from scratch.
and no, i didn't have to add a ppa, and every time i see an answer like that getting all the votes, it makes me wonder about stackexchange in general , it just misinforms and misleads others who may have the same problem.
and no, i said it once and i'll say it again, Just download the latest emacs from fsf.
let me add that getopt.h is part of libc6-dev (as json said). and libc6-dev is part of the required group like libjpeg libncurses libpng libtiff xlibs etc. remove it once and reinstall. the problem is with the configuration options path which need to be specified this time around in the prefix of emacs24 at the time of configuration. but neither autogen nor bootstrap are necessary, but just make and make install.
make maintainer-clean
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

I had the same issue as you but for the 24.5 tag. The problem was I didn't rerun autogen.sh to create a new configure script. I assumed that any untracked file would be listed by git status, though all the configuration output from autogen.sh is ignored in .gitignore.
