I am trying to build some source code on ubuntu 16.04 where one of the classes relies hierarchy_simplify_point_set.h header file, which is part of CGAL's point set package. After following instruction on the installation page, I have installed libcgal-dev and libcgal-qt5-dev via apt-get. The package manager has installed libcgal-dev 4.7 which should include the point set library. However, the particular header file seems to be missing (it seems to have some files from the point set library and not others - I am looking in /usr/include/CGAL). Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
ps: For good measure, I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the packages, but no luck.
This header has been introduced in CGAL 4.8 while it seems you are using CGAL 4.7.
You can get the latest version of CGAL here. Since the latest versions can be used as a header-only library, simply extract the release archive somewhere and set CGAL_DIR to that location when calling cmake to configure your example and it should work directly.

This question is somewhat similar to the one here, but I cannot make it work.
So suppose that I have a set of packages (say 2) to install and I want to use pipenv. If I do pipenv install on the directory with a suitable Pipfile the installation fails because there is some metadata issue when installing one of the libraries (say libX) contained in install_requirements of one of the packages. It seems that the problem can be fixed by downgrading the version of setuptools to <=58.0.0.
OK. Now, if I first install that version of setuptools<=58.0.0 in the venv and then install my packages, everything works fine. The issue is that the Pipenvfile does not respect the order when installing, so something like
[packages]
setuptools = "<=58.0.0"
pckg1 = {<github path 1>}
pckg2 = {<github path 2>}
is not ensured to work. Also, by default the seed packages added to the venv include setuptools==65.6.3.
So the idea is to be able to restrict the version of setuptools that is used to check the metadata of the libraries in libX, to mimic the above scenario in which setuptools was installed first. Is there a way to do that?
I have tried placing setuptools<=58.0.0 at the top of the requirements.txt that defines the install_requirements of the problematic package, but it does not work.
If have also tried to fix or restrict the version of libX contained in that requirements.txt file but, surprisingly, pipenvdoes not seem to care: a verbose install shows that it keeps downgrading libX well below the restriction - "using cached libX-vX.X.X"- until it uses a version for which the metadata generation fails (why on earth does it do that, even if I call it with pipenv --clear install?).
I am a bit lost about what could be the best solution here. Any help would be very appreciated.
I am very new to embedded Linux and am working with buildroot. We have a DNP3 library that is very old and would like to upgrade from 2.3 to 3.1. I do not know where to even start.
Can someone point me to a tutorial or instructions on how to upgrade an existing library or package?
It's not explained explicitly in the Buildroot manual, but updating a package is:
finding the package directory (e.g. package/dnp3);
change the version number in the dnp3.mk file;
download the package with make dnp3-source;
this will give an error because of a missing hash: note the hash and update it in dnp3.hash.
Of course, often that is not enough because the updated package has new dependencies, or it has to be patched to be able to build it in cross-compilation, or various other issues.
I need to install SUMO 0.30.0 to be used with the VEINS_INET subproject in veins 4.6. I have tried following the instructions here and suggestions from forums but haven't had any luck being able to install sumo. I run ./configure (trying various tool/library options) then run sudo make but all I get is target marouter failed or nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am' 'install-data-am'.
Does anyone know how to install sumo-0.30.0 from source and/or make the veins_inet subproject work with the latest version of sumo-0.32.0?
Don't run sudo make.
Don't run sudo make.
Your problem is probably related to a dependency/packaging change in 16.04, which is explicitly pointed out in the veins tutorial:
Note that Ubuntu 16.04 no longer includes libproj0; this can be worked around by temporarily adding the packet repository of, e.g., Ubuntu Vivid when installing this package.
Short answer: Unfortunately this means that long-term, you're going to either have to package SUMO yourself, use the versions someone else compiled (see this launchpad for example) or rely on an old version.
Long answer:
In general, I would recommend building SUMO from source by building its' dependencies from source, since I've encountered this problem on various distributions. In particular, the fox, proj and gdal libraries tend to be packaged in different versions, and along with changes in the SUMO source code. I currently use this script (with the package versions downloaded) to compile SUMO -- but this is for 0.30.0, and it breaks if any of the referenced source packages are moved (which happens quite often). My general recommendation would be to either use a completely isolated version of SUMO (i.e., compiling by hand as much as possible) or relying on a pre-packaged version (see above), as long as that version is recent enough to work with VEINS.
I want to install Go on CentOS 5.x, but Go website here http://golang.org/doc/install mentions that it is not supported.
Is there still some way to install Go Language on CentOS since CentOS is just a different flavour of Linux?
When I installed the same and ran the sample program hello.go mentioned at above website
I got the error
hello.go:3:8: import "fmt": cannot find package
package runtime: import "runtime": cannot find package
% export GOROOT=~/
% go run test.go
test.go:3:8: import "fmt": cannot find package
package runtime: import "runtime": cannot find package
Not finding the "runtime" package tells you that the $GOROOT enviroment variable isn't set to golang root directory.
You need to set $GOROOT. Also you should set the $GOPATH variable if you use external packages (go help gopath for more information).
A typical setup (not specific to CentOS) would be:
export GOROOT="/usr/local/go"
export PATH="$GOROOT/bin:$PATH"
export GOPATH=/Users/rodowi/gocode
At least for some programs it works fine. I have a production program that I compile on RHEL 6.x and deploy on 5.x and 6.x and it is working without any problems.
Edit: I used to use it under 1.0.3, but a few months ago I upgraded to "tip go" (the soon to be 1.1 version). Under 1.x it'd crash on 5.9 when accepting a tcp connection but that was fixed a few days after I reported it on the mailing list.

This page explains rather well what kernel primitives are missing from the CentOS-5 kernel, their impact, and possible fixes.
I'm affraid you're out of luck because of the bit too much aged kernel version of CentOS 5.x. If the go runtime uses features simply not present in that kernel, then I see no easy way how it could work.
you could download the rpm package and begin installing locally, check below and download according to your OS:
http://pkgs.org/download/golang
or you could alternatively compile and build from source:

We want to add command-line support to Netbeans, as in being able to run any program (using the full path of the current file as the argument) directly from the IDE. The same way you can do it already on Notepad++ with the Run tool.
Apparently there is a plugin called VCS Generic Command-Line Support that offers this functionality, but when we try to install it we get this error message:
Some plugins require Master Filesystem to be installed
The plugin Master Filesystem is
requested in version >= 1.1 but only
2.15.2 was found.
Any ideas?
EDIT
I Did some googling as you got me interested pretty much everything i found was in refernce to NetBeans 5.x or below... Im thinking maybe its not compatible with 6 - but thats just a guess.
Looks like a version incompatability with "Master Filesystem". Maybe they are checking the version improperly or perhaps they really mean it needs to be 1.x >= 1.1. Do you have the newest version of VCS Plugin?
As an aside if Im going to have to chek this out... ive been dying for external tool support like in my beloved Eclipse :-)
