/lib/modules/<version>/build/ not existent - centos

I am trying to write a very basic "Hello World" device driver example which is taught in any device driver implementation introductory course. My makefile is as follows:
obj-m := hello.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/bulid
PWD := $(shell pwd)
all:
make -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
When I am using the make command, it is showing that /lib/modules/version_no/build/ is not existent. So I entered the directory /lib/modules/version_no and found that there is one directory build but if I use the ls command, it is printed in red colour, which means that the directory is deprecated. It contains one link to ../../../usr/src/version_no, but to my surprise, the version number in that link and the name of the actual folder in /usr/src/ are not same. Can anyone point out what is the issue? I am using centos 6.1.

This is because you have not yet downloaded the linux headers of your particular kernel version.
Assuming your kernel version is 4.15.0-32-generic, install the required header files using sudo apt install linux-headers-4.15.0-32-generic
In your case you can get it by
yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers

Mac M1 Homebrew Perl Carton Net::SSLeay is loading libcrypto in an unsafe way

I'm trying to install Net::SSLeay with Carton.
The installation fails with this message
Configuring Net-SSLeay-1.90 Running Makefile.PL Do you want to run external tests?
These tests *will* *fail* if you do not have network connectivity. [n] n
*** Found LibreSSL-2.8.3 installed in /usr
*** Be sure to use the same compiler and options to compile your OpenSSL, perl, and Net::SSLeay. Mixing and matching compilers is not supported.
Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good
WARNING: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/perl/5.32.1_1/bin/perl is loading libcrypto in an unsafe way -> N/A
I've tried this with system perl, brew perl and multiple perlbrew perls.
Google came up with a temp solution to build homebrew using x86_64 architecture.
This did work for the libcrypto error, but gave me a whole different set of issues including mysql not running anymore.
Other "solutions" that I've tried are symlinking libssl & libcrypto as suggested by numerous other posts, all sadly without success.
Any ideas how to fix this or work around this without having to reinstall all brew packages as x86_64 ?
Quick Workaround
If you are looking for a quick workaround follow these steps.
Run carton bundle to create a vendor cache directory.
Go to cached tarball 'cache/authors/id/C/CH/CHRISN/' and unpack tar -xvzf Net-SSLeay-1.90.tar.gz
Edit Makefile.PL, change my $prefix = find_openssl_prefix(); to
my $prefix = '/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl#1.1'; ** adjust to your openssl location.
Save and create new tarball tar -czvf Net-SSLeay-1.90.tar.gz Net-SSLeay-1.90
Run carton install --cached to use the altered version
Hope this helps anyone in search of workaround
You can solve this in two steps:
upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to at least version 7.58 (e.g. cpanm ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
install openssl via macports (sudo port install openssl) or homebrew (brew install --cask openssl)
After the Monterey update this broke again also on the x86_64 architecture, but just symlinking your latest openssl (where ever it is, depending how you have installed it) seemed to fix this. Example:
$ export OPENSSL_PREFIX=[find your openssl installation]
$ sudo ln -s $OPENSSL_PREFIX/lib/libssl.dylib /usr/local/lib/
$ sudo ln -s $OPENSSL_PREFIX/lib/libcrypto.dylib /usr/local/lib/
Better workaround:
I entered export OPENSSL_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl#1.1 in my shell and then ran cpan. I checked the code in Makefile.PL and the first thing the function find_openssl_prefix does is to check the OPENSSL_PREFIX environment variable. If it is set, then it the function will return its contents.
Add the variable to your .profile, .cshrc, .bashrc, .zshrc, or whatever rc file your shell uses and you never have to worry about it again!!

Steps to install perl version 5.26.3 in Solaris 11 Host

I would like to install perl version 5.26.3 in host running with Solaris 11 using service account. The installation has to be done in Application file system or in user directory.
Please could someone share with the steps to install ?
Please note that perl 5.26 version is already installed at OS level , but we want to have our own perl installation in application folder rather than using OS level perl interpreter
Thanks.
Here is an example of installing from source using the defaults. If you want to modify the defaults, have a look at the INSTALL document.
$ wget https://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.26.3.tar.bz2
$ bunzip2 perl-5.26.3.tar.bz2
$ tar xvf perl-5.26.3.tar
$ cd perl-5.26.3
$ sh Configure -de -Dprefix='/some/dir' # Where to install
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
Then edit the PATH environment variable to include /some/dir/bin such that the shell can find the new perl.

pg_ctl: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.5

I'm trying to get postgres server status with:
sudo /etc/init.d/postgres status -u postgres
But getting following error:
/home/alex/olddisk/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I added:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=""
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/alex/olddisk/usr/local/pgsql/lib/"
to my .bashrc, but it didn't help.
Thank you.
I ran into this error when I built postgresql from source using the --prefix flag. Building from source installs the necessary shared libs to the libs folder under the prefix directory you specified, instead of the usual place installations put shared libs. To solve the problem I just added the [prefix].libs folder to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. For example, after building postgres using --prefix /mike/sandbox/postgres, the below command solved the issue:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mike/sandbox/postgres/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I think this issue is duplicated, I faced the same problem and posted a solution here.
try this:
1: Know the path of "libpq.so.5"
find / -name libpq.so.5
Output example: "/usr/pgsql-9.4/lib/libpq.so.5" If found nothing, check if you have already installed the suitable postgresql-libs for your postgresql version and your OS platform
2: Symbolic link that library in a "well known" library path like "/usr/lib":
ln -s /usr/pgsql-9.4/lib/libpq.so.5 /usr/lib/libpq.so.5
Attention: If your platform is 64 bit, you MUST also symbolic link to 64 bit libraries path:
ln -s /usr/pgsql-9.4/lib/libpq.so.5 /usr/lib64/libpq.so.5
3: Be happy !
Please ensure you have 'postgresql94' package installed as well (in addition to postgresql94-server, postgresql94-lib, postgresql94-devel and whatever other PG related package you already have). These libraries get installed along with that package.
Some ideas:
Your modified ~/.bashrc only takes effect when you start a new (interactive) shell. Though catching up on that will not help you because:
/etc/sudoers, your configuration file of sudo, probably specifies env_reset. This means, that /etc/init.d/postgres will not see the content of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH of your shell.
Insert debug statements in /etc/init.d/postgres to verify what I told you: echo "LDPATH: $LD_LIBRARY_PATH" >&2
Check /etc/init.d/postgres. Probably you will have to insert the third one of your export statements near the start of this script. Or you will have to update an existing export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= statement.
Have you installed the necessary libraries?
If you are using ubuntu try:
sudo apt-get install libpq libpq-dev

MongoDB SpiderMonkey doesn't understand UTF-8

If I add non-ASCII characters to MongoDB database then all db.find() fail telling "non ascii character detected".
It's problem of SpiderMonkey, I have to rebuild it with UTF-8 support.
I've tried to do it like in
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Building+Spider+Monkey
but it doesn't work (SpiderMonkey is not installed after I've completed all steps).
I've got Ubuntu 11.04. Does anybody have instruction how to make it work there?
Working instruction how to make work MongoDB with Google V8 can also help.
I'm using MongoDB on Ubuntu Server 11.04, installed it after making fresh OS install using this instruction: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packages
Everything is working fine out of the box. Is it critical for you to build MongoDB from scratch?
Using the 10gen-published packages works fine, but if you actually want to compile SpiderMonkey from source with UFT-8 support:
curl -O ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js185-1.0.0.tar.gz
tar xvzf js185-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd js-1.8.5/js/src
export CFLAGS="-DJS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8"
export CXXFLAGS="-DJS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8"
And then follow the instructions from https://developer.mozilla.org/En/SpiderMonkey/Build_Documentation
autoconf-2.13
./configure
make
make install
cp js /usr/local/bin/
This will install into /usr/local/lib, however the mongodb package looks for it in /usr/lib (where the spidermonkey package is installed). So, we link all files installed to /usr/local /lib from /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmozjs185.so /usr/lib/libmozjs185.so
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmozjs185.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libmozjs185.so.1.0
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmozjs185.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libmozjs185.so.1.0.0
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmozjs185-1.0.a /usr/lib/libmozjs185-1.0.a
Of course you could just move them into /usr/lib instead of symlinking, but I wanted to keep the utf-enabled libs away from the default location, to prevent conflicts with the default spidermonkey package. Without the libmozjs package installed, apt complains that dependencies for mongodb are not satisfied, so I've left it installed.
Keep in mind that if the spidermonkey package gets upgraded, it can overwrite the symlinks to our new libs (or the libs themselves if you've moved them to /usr/local/lib). The ideal solution would be to build your own package to solve dependency issues for good.

Mac OS .deb packaging trouble

I've searched a lot, but didn't find the solution.
I need to package my ios app into .deb.
I have installed Mac Ports and dpkg, I have control file in DEBIAN folder in MyApp folder
I run /opt/local/bin/dpkg-deb -b MyApp and get error.
dpkg-deb: ignoring 3 warnings about the control file(s)
Can't use format gnu: No such format 'gnu': Invalid argument
There is another topic: How to create .deb packages on Mac OS X, but no answer to this question.
I assume you are using a tar implementation that does not support the GNU tar fotrmat, which dpkg-deb expects for its usage.
You should install GNU tar and either recompile dpkg to use that (usually named gtar) instead of simply the executable tar, or prepare a PATH environment to prefer the GNU tar when using dpkg-deb.
Newer dpkg versions detect this requirement at build time and will abort the build, to make sure this does not happen.
