I am cross compiling a Lazarus program, creating a 32bit program on a 64bit Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr system, and everything apparently compiles to the very end when I get this messsage
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglib-2.0
What is the full name of the library whose absence results in this error mesage?
libc6-dev:i386 appears to be the most likely library, but when I try to install it with apt indicates build-essential g++ gcc gcc-multilib will be removed so I abort it.
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev:i386

It turns out it was the libglib2.0-0:i386 package. It was already installed earlier, but it had not been fully configured.
It was present in the /lib/i386-linux directory and I had to create a symlink to it include it to the fpc.cfg configuration file used by Free Pascal.
locate libglib | grep ^/lib produced:
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0.4002.0
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0.4002.0
I symlinked it with the expected name:
ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so
then added to the Lazarus installations fpc.cfg file

Can someone help me install jdk1.6 or java-6-openjdk please?
The problem here is that you cannot use the Oracle rpm to install JDK 7 when you already have the Oracle JDK 6 as it tries to install the /etc/init.d/jexec script which is already installed and required for JDK 6.
I would advise sticking to the tarball or self extracting *.bin and using JAVA_HOME if you are going to use the Oracle distribution as it does not have this problem and you will probably not need jexec anyway.
In general I would suggest that you install the Oracle JDK not the OpenJDK. Otherwise you might risk running into some issues. I always found problems of all sorts and sizes with OpenJDK that I don't even bother trying it any more.
Download the JDK RPM from here and follow the usual instructions. Its usually very straightforward and without problems.
Full detailed instructions including how to install it here.
Make sure you choose the right version you need (JDK 1.7 or JDK 1.6, dont mix) because from your question you seem to have a confusion of library versions from 1.5 to 1.7.
And another thing, uninstall whatever you have installed already before installing a fresh one to avoid conflicts.
Check my answer here Transaction check error when installing Sun JDK 7
Basically you may use rpm --force to install one JDK on top of the other. This scenario is completely valid specially when you have to develop for different JAVA versions.
Just faced the same issue. I was not comfortable using --force command; did not want to risk messing-up the existing Java that came installed at system setup.
I ended up doing the following and running the app server with a different version of Java under a different user ID.
downloaded the Java tar.gz version and uncompressed:
tar -zxvf jdk-7u45-linux-x64.gz
Created the directory:
mkdir /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_45
Copied the contents to the new directory manually:
cp -r /.../jdk1.7.0_45/* /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_45
Set the java_home under the user ID home directory in .bashrc and .bash_profile files:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_45
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/lib/gcc:/usr/sfw/bin
sudo rpm -i jdk-11.0.9_linux-x64_bin.rpm
or whatever package you are trying to install
I'm working on Michael Hartl's ruby on rails tutorial http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book#sec-development_tools.
I installed Git, updated my OS to 10.8.2 and downloaded XCode 4.5.2.
when I type in
rvm install 1.9.3
this long thing comes up...
Ruby (and needed base gems) for your selection will be installed shortly.
Before it happens, please read and execute the instructions below.
Please use a separate terminal to execute any additional commands.
Notes for Mac OS X 10.8.2, Xcode 4.5.2.
For JRuby: Install the JDK. See http://developer.apple.com/java/download/ # Current Java version "1.6.0_26"
For IronRuby: Install Mono >= 2.6
For Ruby 1.9.3: Install libksba # If using Homebrew, 'brew install libksba'
For Opal: Install Nodejs with NPM. See http://nodejs.org/download/
To use an RVM installed Ruby as default, instead of the system ruby:
rvm install 1.8.7 # installs patch 357: closest supported version
rvm system ; rvm gemset export system.gems ; rvm 1.8.7 ; rvm gemset import system.gems # migrate your gems
rvm alias create default 1.8.7
And reopen your terminal windows.
Xcode and gcc:
Right now Ruby requires gcc to compile, but Xcode 4.2 and later no longer ship with gcc. Instead they ship with llvm-gcc (to which gcc is a symlink) and clang, neither of which are supported for building Ruby. Xcode 4.1 was the last version to ship gcc, which was /usr/bin/gcc-4.2.
Xcode 4.1 and earlier:
- Ruby will build fine.
Xcode 4.2 and later (including Command Line Tools for Xcode):
- If you have gcc-4.2 (and friends) from an earlier Xcode version, Ruby will build fine.
- If you don't have gcc-4.2, you have two options to get it:
* Install apple-gcc42 from Homebrew
* Install osx-gcc-installer
Homebrew:
If you are using Homebrew, you can install the apple-gcc42 and required libraries from homebrew/dupes:
brew update
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install autoconf automake apple-gcc42
rvm pkg install openssl
Xcode 4.2+ install or/and Command Line Tools for Xcode is required to provide make and other tools.
osx-gcc-installer:
If you don't use Homebrew, you can download and install osx-gcc-installer: https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer.
Warning: Installing osx-gcc-installer on top of a recent Xcode is known to cause problems, so you must uninstall Xcode before installing osx-gcc-installer. Afterwards you may install Xcode 4.2+ or Command Line Tools for Xcode if you desire.
** NOTE: Currently, Node.js is having issues building with osx-gcc-installer. The only fix is to install Xcode over osx-gcc-installer.

Originally I had to get homebrew and
brew install libksba
but I did that already and it works. That leads to "Xcode and gcc:" and everything below it.
So, I have homebrew, and the following three commands work:
brew update
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install autoconf automake apple-gcc42
But when I try
rvm pkg install openssl
this is what happens
Fetching openssl-1.0.1c.tar.gz to /Users/adamzerner/.rvm/archives

Please note that it's required to reinstall all rubies:

And this is what happens when I try what it says...
Adam-Zerners-MacBook-Pro:~ adamzerner$ rvm reinstall all --force
Adam-Zerners-MacBook-Pro:~ adamzerner$
some other information...
I don't see a .rvm folder under adamzerner, so I can't read what it tells me to (not that I would understand what I'd be reading anyway).
It seems that I have 1.8.7 installed:
Adam-Zerners-MacBook-Pro:~ adamzerner$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [universal-darwin12.0]
So... to summarize... when I try to run
rvm install 1.9.3
I get the gcc/Xcode problem. To fix that it says to download apple-gcc42 from Homebrew. When I do that, I get a problem after doing
rvm pkg install openssl
The problem being that I need to reinstall all rubies. When I do that:
rvm reinstall all --force
it seems that nothing happens.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me with this problem!
EDIT: I forgot to say this before. For the "long thing" up above, when I press q to continue, this is what happens...
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.

Adam-Zerners-MacBook-Pro:~ adamzerner$
I've successfully downloaded Ruby 1.9.3 now!
I think the problem was that I hadn't downloaded Command Line Tools from XCode. See http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/27985816073/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-riding-a-mountain-lion
note that for whoami, it's using the backtick key, which is right above the tab key. It is NOT using quotes.
After I downloaded Command Line Tools, I then typed in rvm install 1.9.3. I got the same "long thing" as before, but at that point I had everything I needed, so I just pressed q to continue, and ruby 1.9.3 was successfully installed!
note: although it was successfully installed, when I typed ruby -v, it still said it was 1.8.7 even though it wasn't. However, after closing and reopening the terminal, it then said that the version was indeed 1.9.3.
Here is the stdout for install:

i tried installing libxml2 manually, but still getting the same issue.

libxml2-dev is already the newest version.

I think the relevant line is:
Checking for ability to link against libxml2...libxml2, zlib, and/or the Math library (-lm) have not been found.
So, you've covered off libxml. Have you installed the appropriate zlib package? Try:
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
Then try installing XML::LibXML again.
Why do you want to use CPAN for this anyway? It is typically very bad idea to install CPAN packages if you have native packages provided by standard operating system installer.
Ubuntu provides a lot of Perl packages natively, with following naming convention: package name always starts with lib, then Perl package name like XML::LibXML is converted to lower case and :: replaced to dash - (XML::LibXML => xml-libxml), and finally -perl suffix is added. In other words, native package name for XML::LibXML would be libxml-libxml-perl.
So, in your case, you simply run this command and it will pull all necessary dependencies automatically:
sudo apt-get install libxml-libxml-perl
If you don't like this package for any reason you can uninstall it with sudo apt-get remove. If you use CPAN, it is very difficult to uninstall it reliably.
Overlooked the obvious:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall zlibc zlib1g zlib1g-dev
then:
sudo cpanm XML::LibXML
works!
Maybe this is new version. I did:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
After this module builded and installed successfully
I am writing a post-install script for Ubuntu in Perl (same script as seen here). One of the steps is to install a list of packages. The problem is that if apt-get install fails in some of many different ways for any one of the packages the script dies badly. I would like to prevent that from happening.
This happens because of the ways that apt-get install fails for packages that it doesn't like. For example when I try to install a nonsense word (i.e. typed in the wrong package name)
$ sudo apt-get install oblihbyvl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package oblihbyvl
but if instead the package name has been obsoleted (installing handbrake from ppa)
$ sudo apt-get install handbrake
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package handbrake is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'handbrake' has no installation candidate
$ apt-cache search handbrake
handbrake-cli - versatile DVD ripper and video transcoder - command line
handbrake-gtk - versatile DVD ripper and video transcoder - GTK GUI
etc, etc ...
I have tried parsing the results of apt-cache and apt-get -s install to try to catch all possibilities before doing the install, but I seem to keep finding new ways to allow failures to continue to the actual install system command.
My question is, is there some facility either in Perl (e.g. a module, though I would like to avoid installing modules if possible as this is supposed to be the first thing run after a new install of Ubuntu) or apt-* or dpkg that would let me be sure that the packages are all available to be installed before installing and if not fail gracefully in some way that lets the user decide what to do?
N.B. I am doing something along the lines of:
my #list_of_install_candidates = (...);
my #to_install = grep { my $output = qx{ apt-get -s install $_ }; parse_output($output); } #list_of_install_candidates;
system('apt-get', 'install', #to_install);
You might try apt-cache policy. examples:
$ apt-cache policy handbrake
handbrake:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:
$ apt-cache policy foo
N: Unable to locate package foo
$ apt-cache policy openbox
openbox:
Installed: 3.4.11.1-1
Candidate: 3.4.11.1-1
Version table:
*** 3.4.11.1-1 0
500 http://mirrors.xmission.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Anything with a non-blank version table should be installable.
