I'm new to collectd and Riemann. Im essentially trying to direct collectd logs to a riemann server instance. I understand that I need write_riemann plugin installed. I tried compiling the source files for write_riemann available online, but it includes a file called "riemann.pb-c.h", which is no where to be found. Please help!
Download the binary. After running the build script, while running the configure script include "--enable-write_riemann", this should install it. I had a lot of dependencies missing on CentOS, which threw a lot of errors. Once they were installed, write_riemann plugin was compiled and installed. Another issue you might face while installing the dependency is not able to find the right packages for protobuf-c.I was using yum package installer. Go to sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and change enabled from 0 to 1. After this, the protobuf-c processor was recognised while running the configure script. This solved my issue. Hope it does yours too!

After conscientiously following the install instructions on Linux from swift.org, I encounter an issue where it is not possible to compile anything on a Ubuntu 18.04 machine. The REPL seems to work but during compilation (when calling swift build) the following error appears:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
There are more details in the full bug report [SR-9093]. I don't know at all what to do to solve this issue, there are similar problems already mentioned in other bug reports, for instance on this really old one [SR-35].
What should I do?
Thank you
I am assuming that you had already installed the libstdc++ successfully and you have set the permissions properly. But I really doubt that it was installed correctly but it was installed with corruption of some sort. The corruption occurred because you didn't install libstdc++ via a package manager. Result was some form of weirdness in the package manager database which effected the overall functioning system. Exactly why adding something to a folder should change anything at all. I don't know why this happens, unless the folder is hot i.e symbolically linked to a program which doesn't have any tolerance for hacks like simply copying a file into the folder. So for now try to install the libstdc++ again. Below is the link to the file to again download the correct program and this is compatible with amd64.

Install libstdc++
sudo apt install libstdc++6
It seems possible that the apt install did not run the ldconfig program, which should be run to add the library to the list of those which ld.so knows about.
It looks like you can do it manually:
sudo ldconfig
IMPORTANT CAVEAT: I don't have Ubuntu and haven't been able to test this. And it's a sudo command. Run at your own risk, YMMV, etc.
If this does not work, it's possible that a file called /etc/ld.so.conf is not set up to search the directory where libstdc++ ended up. I wouldn't dare try to describe how to fix that.
sudo apt install -f
The command above should install any missing dependencies.
I followed the instructions in GStreamer Plugin Writer's Guide (1.7.1.1):
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/pwg/html/index.html
in order to build a new gstreamer plugin. Basically I ran make_element and then edited Makefile.am as described. Amazingly make and make install worked and I ended up with:
/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstframe_grabber.la
/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstframe_grabber.so
As I understand it, gst-inspect should find this plugin automatically. The guide says that /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0 needs to be added to GST_PLUGIN_PATH in order for plugins in this directory to be found. Another document states that this directory is searched automatically. I tried with and without the environment variable, but no luck.
Now I should say that I have just started to use gstreamer and I am suffering from total information overload. I have read so many documents, yet I don't even know whether I am building a gstreamer1.0 or a gstreamer0.10 plugin (I think the guide is for gstreamer1.0, since the guide's version is 1.7.1.1 but can't be sure).
Can anybody give me a clue here ?
There are many possible reasons that can cause this issue.
First, check if your plugin is blacklisted by command gst-inspect-1.0 -b.
If your plugin show up here, that means it is really blacklisted.
In that case, delete directory ~/.cache/ and then run gst-inpect-1.0 again.
This will force GStreamer to re-scan plugins list. If the reason of blacklist is not solved yet, gst-inpect will probably print out the reason here for you.
Another possible reason (but unlikely happens) is setting GST_REGISTRY_UPDATE as no, which will force GStreamer NOT to rescan the plugin directory, thus not found new plugin
P/s: The guide is for GStreamer 1.0
If you've tried removing your plugin from the blacklist and it still doesn't show up, try this:
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0
/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0 is the default directory used by make in case of plugins. If you have defined a different directory, use it.
Then run gst-inspect-1.0 and you'll find the newly compiled and installed plugin.
You'll be required to perform the export every time in the shell whether you either create a static pipeline with gst-launch-1.0 or run code of your own. I couldn't find any alternative to make it permanent other than making entry of this in .bashrc file. If you have one, please suggest via comments.
If you run ./configure --help in the gst-plugin directory you will see the following:
By default, make install' will install all the files in
/usr/local/bin', /usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than/usr/local' using --prefix',
for instance--prefix=$HOME'.
If you do after the original installation:sudo updatedb && locate libgst[NAME_OF_YOUR_PLUGIN].so you should see where the library holding your plugin is located (in my case it is under /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0/ as described by the configure help above).
Now on my machine, the GStreamer "official" plugins are installed under: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/ . This is where the new created plugin library should be stored.
To store the plugin at the right place, run configure with the following parameter:
./configure --libdir=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu followed by make && sudo make install
It is important to override with --libdir and NOT --prefix! The usage of --prefix will stick a /lib that we don't want to have under /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu.The plugin will not be found by gst-inspect-1.0 if /lib is added to the path.
Extra note :
Even if the plugin is at the proper location, you may still see GStreamer blacklisting it when you run gst-inspect-1.0. One of the cause of the blacklisting could be the shared library/ies required by your plugin not installed or not found on your platform. The ldd command can help figuring out the dependencies your plugin may have. Just run ldd [YOUR_GSTREAMER_LIBRARY].so
I'm unfortunately not very experienced in CentOS administration, and was hoping someone might be able to help me understand and get past a small hurdle. I was hoping to run yum update on the system, but ran into some Transaction Check Errors:

It sort of looks like it's saying that some newer version files are conflicting with older version files. Is there a standard way to fix this? I was mainly just trying to update so that I could install Java later, but wasn't expecting to run into these errors. If it helps, the server is mainly being used for hosting a few websites with apache and mysql. Thanks so much for any help, it's greatly appreciated.
Edit: To add some more clarification, I had previously edited the baseurl variable in the /etc/yum.repos.d/centalt.repo file, which was originally set to
baseurl=centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/6/$basearch
The reason I changed the location was because I was previously getting an error when trying to run yum update, mentioned in this other stackoverflow question https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/132674/repository-metadata-repomd-xml-for-repository-mratwork-centalt which had an answer recommending replacing the URL with
baseurl=mirror.sysadminguide.net/centalt/repository/centos/6/$basearch
Is there a different url I should be using instead?
You have a non-official repository which provides the php55-* packages which conflict with the official php-* packages.
You currently have the php-* versions installed.
If you want to switch you can try manually installing the matching php55-* package for every php-* package you have installed in one yum command (though that may not work).
If it doesn't, you might need to remove all the php packages you have installed first and then install the php55 versions after that.
I am getting a bunch of compile errors when I try to install the MySQL DBD::mysql Perl library. I am trying to install this library on OpenSuse linux (SUSE Linux Enterprise server 10 (x86_64) version 10, patch level 4)
The install fails when trying to compile dbdimp.h. There are hundreds of complile errors but I have reason to believe they all stem from the first 3:
dbdimp.h:23:49: error: mysql.h: No such file or directory
dbdimp.h:24:45: error: mysqld_error.h: No such file or directory
dbdimp.h:26:49: error: errmsg.h: No such file or directory
I believe that the reason I am getting the errors above is that I have no MySql Client installed. I do not know how to install mysql client (I believe I am supposed to get some version of libmysqlclient).
I am brand new to opensuse and vaguely familar with installing packages on Linux in general have used yum, yast, apt-get on ubuntu + centOS previously but the only package manager tools that seem to be on OpenSuse 10 are rpm and zypper. I have not managed to install the required mysql client using either of these. If anyone knows how to install MySql Client to resolve my issue I would greatly appreciate any recomendations
Thanks
You need to install MySQL or the MySQL client libraries, either through your system's package manager or by following the installation instructions from the source code.
It sounds like your question is really "How do I install MySQL on OpenSuse", which would be more appropriate for one of the other StackExchange sites.
I was able to resolve this to a point. In my original question, I stated that I had tried using YAST but that it had not worked. In fact, I did not fully explore the YAST install option but when I did, I managed to download install the required librarys by following an article I found (http://adminramble.com/install-mysql-yast/#chitika_close_button)
I was able to open the YAST GUI in the terminal window (not an X-window display) and navigate through the "software management" section wherein I was able to do a search for MySql. Amoung the search results were mysql client libraries, which I then selected and hit "Accept". The installation started and completed successully.
In order to complile the PERL DBD::mysql module, I had to create a new makefile with the ccflags specified so that the header files could be found:
perl Makefile.PL --cflags -I/usr/include/mysql
I say "to a point" at the top of this comment because I then ran into further problems compiling but my original issue posted has been partially resolved and getting this far may help someone else who is experiencing the same problem. Will update if I get a solution to the compile problem.
I tried to install the sfTaskExtraPlugin using
symfony plugin:install sfTaskExtraPlugin
and received
Installation of "sfTaskExtraPlugin" plugin failed: unable to unpack (...)sfTaskExtraPlugin-1.3.3.tgz
I know I can simply install it manually by unpacking it to the plugin directory and including it into the ProjectConfiguration.
But I would like to be able to install all that is possible through the installer, as it is way more comfortable.
My system details: symfony 1.4 on Windows 7 (64 bit) with XAMPP 1.7.4.
Thanks!
Not an expert on this but my guess is that you're missing a utility/program that would allow Windows to unpack the tgz file. I'd Google around, install the relevant utility(ies) and try again.
I'm using the exact same setup as you as my dev environment and don't have that problem.
I have same problem and I have no solution.
One solution is: try again and again and again. It should work! :)
I'm not kidding. To install symfony 1.4.8 via pear on my Windows7 by using xampp 1.7.4 I just stupidly repeated installation.
