I'm looking for a way to get a working Common Lisp compiler in CentOS 7.
It seems that neither base or EPEL repos contain any of the widely available open-source Lisp compilers. There are bits of info regarding CLISP and SBCL on CentOS 6 but none about any compiler on CentOS 7.
Am I missing something here or has the switch from RHEL6 to RHEL7 completely forgot about CL compilers ?
It's often better to get Common Lisp systems directly than from a distribution's package system. The package system lags behind, and the library model of Common Lisp does not lend itself well to packages.
You can download an SBCL binary from http://www.sbcl.org/
You can get Clozure CL from http://ccl.clozure.com/
Other implementations are available in similar ways, but those two are the best.
I am sure yum install sbcl clisp will work:
$ yum search sbcl

Name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything.
SBCL is available in EPEL7: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/repoview/sbcl.html
(I guess it wasn't yet provided when this question was originally asked, but at least at the time of writing this it's there.)
There is a COPR-Repo for EPEL7: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/shassard/sbcl/
Maybe you like to try this one?
I am able to install SBCL on Amazon EC-2 - CentOS 7 using the following command:
wget https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/shassard/sbcl/epel-7-x86_64/sbcl-1.2.9-1.el7.centos/sbcl-1.2.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh sbcl-1.2.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
Note: I wasn't able to run "sudo yum install SBCL"

Note: This problem, which I have already solved, is a very different problem from every other similar question on Stack Overflow. I have posted this question and answer in the hopes that it will help someone else experiencing the same issue (or so that, when I have this problem again in 3 years, I'll find this answer).
I am running VirtualBox 6.1.26 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7. I am emulating centOS 7:
$ uname -r
3.10.0-1160.36.2.el7.x86_64
I "inserted" the VirtualBox Guest Additions CD and followed the auto-run prompts to install the Guest Additions. Part way through, it aborted, saying:
This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the gcc make perl packages from your distribution.
Note that I have gcc, make, perl, kernel-devel, and kernel-headers all installed. It also prompted me to check the file /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log for more details. The contents of that log were interesting:
Building the main Guest Additions 6.1.26 module for kernel 3.10.0-1160.36.2.el7.x86_64.
Error building the module. Build output follows.
make V=1 CONFIG_MODULE_SIG= CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL= -C /lib/modules/3.10.0-1160.36.2.el7.x86_64/build M=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 -j4 modules
arch/x86/Makefile:96: stack-protector enabled but compiler support broken
arch/x86/Makefile:166: *** CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y, but not supported by the compiler. Compiler update recommended.. Stop.
make: *** [vboxguest] Error 2
modprobe vboxguest failed
Extensive searching for these errors yields multiple forum posts and Stack Overflow questions whose replies and accepted answers reveal either that I'm missing one of those installed packages (I'm not) or that my GCC version is less than 7.3 (when support for CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y was added). However:
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 8.3.1 20190311 (Red Hat 8.3.1-3)
This is > 7.3, so it does support this feature. I should note that I installed GCC using the Yum devtoolset packages in order to use this newer compiler:
$ sudo yum list installed|grep devtoolset
...
devtoolset-8-gcc.x86_64 8.3.1-3.2-el7 #centos-sclo-rh
devtoolset-8-gcc-c++.x86_64 8.3.1-3.2-el7 #centos-sclo-rh
devtoolset-8-gcc-gdb-plugin.x86_64 8.3.1-3.2-el7 #centos-sclo-rh
...
devtoolset-8-make.x86_64 1:4.2.1-4.el7 #centos-sclo-rh
...
And I do not have any other GCC versions installed:
$ sudo yum list installed|grep gcc
devtoolset-8-gcc.x86_64 8.3.1-3.2-el7 #centos-sclo-rh
devtoolset-8-gcc-c++.x86_64 8.3.1-3.2-el7 #centos-sclo-rh
devtoolset-8-gcc-gdb-plugin.x86_64 8.3.1-3.2-el7 #centos-sclo-rh
libgcc.x86_64 4.8.5-44.el7 #anaconda
And I have this in ~/.bashrc to enable devtoolset upon login:
...
source scl_source enable devtoolset-8
...
What am I doing wrong?
It turned out the problem wasn't that I was using the wrong GCC version (not possible) or that I was missing any installed packages (I wasn't). Instead, it was a consequence of how the VirtualBox Guest Additions "auto-run" works. Something about the way it runs results in a "fresh" environment without devtoolset-8 properly sourced. As a result, it cannot find the installed GCC 8.3.
The solution was simple: When the auto-run prompt appeared, I dismissed it and did not run auto-run. Instead, I opened a fresh Terminal window and changed directories to /run/media/[username]/VBox_GAs_6.1.26 (YMMV on the exact location of the mounted disk), then ran this command:
$ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
That command completed successfully, the kernel module compiled, the Guest Additions installed, and they are working properly now.
We have a Solaris 11 system with gcc 7.3, we need to install the Ada package. On Linux gcc 7 came with the Ada/GNAT as part of the gcc install:
apt install gcc
I visited AdaCore looks like Solaris (SPARC) is not longer on the list. I need to use Ada95 and we want the same compiler on both Linux and Solaris in any case.
pkg install gcc
Only installed various C++ commands and Fortran.
pkg install gcc-ada
And variants like gcc7ada, found nothing to install.
If must, we can rebuild the Ada component of GCC 7, however I haven't found a clear cood-book style "How To ..."for that (yet).
Hopefully you can point me to these items in order of preference to help us get back-on-track.
Solaris 11 gcc-ada package for gcc7/Solaris 11 spark, and the package repository.
An 'alternative' package repository were I can retrieve the GCC Ada tooling.
Pre-build GCC 7 Ada module that we can copy to the right places.
Ready-rolled Build Ada/GNAT project for Solaris and how to download and get start building.
Instructions to download and build gcc-ada with gcc 7 on Solaris (or Unix).
From th epast few days searching about on Gnu Compiler Collection, Oracle, the package manager searches, google and so forth ... It really seems like there's next to no support for CGG Ada on Solaris these days.
I very interested in other solutions beyond that list. For instance, has anyone cross-compiled from Linux to Solaris? Would that work with GDB on the Solaris machine anyway?
Looking forward to your suggestions.
I've successfully built gcc 7.50 (x86_64 native with i386 cross-compiler) with GNAT on OpenIndiana (Hipster 2020/10) using the following procedure.
Download the bootstrap compiler from Dragonlace at http://downloads.dragonlace.net/src/ada-bootstrap.x86_64.solaris.511.tar.bz2
Get the illumos gcc 7.5.0 source from https://github.com/illumos/gcc/tree/il-7_5_0
Put the bootstrap compiler's bin directory at the front of $PATH, replace /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cpp /usr/bin/g++ with symlinks to their counterparts in the bootstrap compiler directory (see note below re g++ and c++)
Make sure you've got gnu-binutils and gmake; then run contrib/download_prerequisites
Configure with
--enable-languages='c ada c++' --build=x86_64-aux-solaris2.11 --enable-threads=posix --disable-libmudflap --disable-libgomp --disable-libssp --disable-libquadmath --disable-nls --disable-shared --disable-lto --disable-libstdcxx-pch --enable-multilib --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/bin/gas --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld
gmake and then gmake install
NOTES:
This setup should be close enough to Solaris 11 to work. If it doesn't, try using the regular gcc 7.5.0 release rather than the illumos-modified branch.
If you get stuck at a linking stage, try using a gcc ld, but you should definitely try to use the Solaris ld first. The gnu as (gas) makes the build go much more smoothly. I didn't have any problems, but if you get stuck at the end of stage 1 or the beginning of stage 2, try setting $CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh -- I think it has been fixed, but at least with older gcc releases one needed to specify ksh because the built-in sh had some non-POSIX peculiarities that didn't work with some of the components' makefiles
I couldn't get one of the support libs for gnat to compile easily without building gcc c++ and using g++ with a full bootstrap. You might be able to figure it out, but the path of least resistance is likely to build gcc c++ and put the g++ symlink in /usr/bin, which is where the makefile wanted to find it.
Please note that I don't know much about Solaris, but a quick search on Google gave me the website OpenCSW. This website provides the packages gcc4ada and gcc5ada.
It appears that gcc5ada is build using a makefile (as found here, in particular notice line 424). A similar makefile exists for gcc7ada (as found here, in particular notice line 426). However, while it seems that the package "gcc7ada" can be created with the latter makefile, it is not published on the OpenCSW.org website (website is no longer updated?).
You could try to install gcc5ada first and then use this old GCC/GNAT compiler as a bootstrapper for compiling the required version (using the GCC 7 makefile).
I am going to be asking a question that seems to have been asked numerous times. However, all of the solutions posted in the others, seems to not be working. This leads me to believe that my problem may be system related, but I'm not an expert.
I am a newbie to Python, but not to Linux, and not a newbie to software by any means.
I am running Linux Mint, 17.3 (Rosa), 64-bit, and have recently installed Python3.5 per https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/3nbfdx/how_to_upgrade_from_python_27_to_35_linux_mint/ and that seems to have worked.
Python 3.5.0 (default, Nov 19 2016, 10:27:39)

When running:
pip list | grep pyserial
I get the following:
pyserial (2.6)
My problem is simply this: I can't run the following pyPractice.py file:
import serial
...with the following cli prompt:
me#machine /home/me/Desktop/practice $ python3.5 pyPractice.py
I have tried many solutions, such as those posted in the following locations, but all seem to have failed for one reason or another:
1) pyserial, ImportError: No module named serial
RESULT-> pyserial is already installed, as you can see above. When I tried to install 'serial', no dice, not recognized
me#machine /home/me/Desktop/practice $ sudo pip install serial
[sudo] password for me:
Downloading/unpacking serial
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirements serial
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for serial
Storing debug log for failure in /home/me/.pip/pip.log
2) Python ImportError: No module named serial
RESULT-> nearly the same as above. Near the end, the proposed fix is to type:
sudo apt-get install python3-serial
However, I get the following:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python3-serial is already the newest version.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
php5
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 379 not upgraded.
3) Serial import python
RESULT-> No sure...I started to look at this option, but wouldn't you know it, there isn't a serial in my python3.5 packages. So, even if I did have a path correct, I wouldn't know where to start.
I am pretty new to Python, so feel free to take me back to basics. I am not adverse to reading, so links to sites which explain your thoughts are acceptable. I am pretty handy with Linux.
[somewhat useless side note: I am trying to start out slow, but am trying to work through running a simple cube drawing script, which was found here ]
In your first method there are two errors: for Python 3 you should use the command pip3, and the module is called pyserial.
As for the second method, maybe the package has been installed improperly. Try to remove it and install again, maybe with the option --reinstall. Also maybe the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure python3-serial would help.
I have been stuck on this problem for several weeks and been looking around on Internet for solution but so far not so good...
So I have a program written by someone else and I try to compile it in Matlab to make it work. My computer is Red-hat enterprise Linux workstation (64 bits) with gcc 4.4.3 and Matlab 2011b installed. The gcc is compatible with my Matlab (http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2011b/glnxa64.html).
The compilation works fine (I mean, no error message occurs in Matlab command window). But after compilation, every time when I use a specific function from the compilation (it's call "mexLasso"), it will show up errors like this:
***Invalid MEX-file '/usr/local/matlab_R2011b/toolbox/spams-matlab/build/mexLasso.mexa64':
/usr/local/matlab_R2011b/bin/glnxa64/../../sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6: version
`GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by
/usr/local/matlab_R2011b/toolbox/spams-matlab/build/mexLasso.mexa64)
Error in test (line 24)
alpha=mexLasso(X,D,param);*
So I type "strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBC" in the terminal, and I found the "GLIBCXX_3.4.11" is actually in it.
I've been using Linux and gcc stuff for only several months...so there are still a lot of things I don't understand. It will be of great help if you can explain it in detail. Thanks!!
%% More detail:
I got these programs on machine learning from http://spams-devel.gforge.inria.fr/downloads.html. The wierd thing is, after compilation, other functions in that package works fine (such as "mexTrainDL").
The solution prompted by #whjiang works but have two limits:
You may be required a sudo privilege to change the library symbol
link.
The change is global and can affect all users
So there is another.
As explained by this answer from MATLAB Central, the problem is caused by Matlab:
Matlab internally changes the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to prefer <MatlabPATH >/sys/os/<ARCH>
and the <MatlabPATH>/sys/os/libstdc++.so.6 is out of date.
The solution is set LD_PRELOAD when calling Matlab like this,
env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 <MatlabPATH>/bin/matlab -desktop
The path of libstdc++.so.6 my be different from os to os. For example, on my LMDE2, the path is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.
This is answered in the libstdc++ FAQ: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/faq.html#faq.how_to_set_paths
Here is an solution:
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.19 /usr/local/MATLAB/R2011b/bin/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6
explanation and reference:
http://fantasticzr.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/matlab-error-libstdc-so-version-glibcxx_3-4-15-not-found/
A simple solution from this page ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=808045 ) that worked for me.
Go to the matlab directory where libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 are stored. In my case, this was:
cd /usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Production_Server/R2015a/sys/os/glnxa64
Then rename libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1:
sudo mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.orig
sudo mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.orig
That's it!
I'm trying to install Maatkit following the maatkit instructions. I can't get past having to install DBD::mysql. "Warning: prerequisite DBD::mysql 1 not found."
When I try to install DBD::mysql from cpan, I get very helpful "make had returned bad status, install seems impossible".
Perl is "v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level", the one that came with OS X. I also tried building from source with same result.
We need more of the error message. Most likely, you are missing the MySQL client development files. I don't know how to install these on OSX. Also see this older post on OSX 10.5.2 , in which some other failures with the mysql client libraries are found.
Possibly post this question with more parts of your error message at perlmonks.org, if stackoverflow doesn't allow for convenient pasting of your make session or rather the last 20 or 10 lines of it.
Some more Googling with site:perlmonks.org also finds this post which has some more details on things to watch out for when installing DBD::MySQL. Depending on how comfortable you feel with the installation, you might want to manually run the tests, supplying a test database and test user or even skip testing the module.
After a bit more googling, this worked for me:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/include /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::mysql'
press enter a bunch of times, then in your maatkit folder:
perl Makefile.PL
sudo make install
and you'll find the mk-* programs in /usr/local/bin/
You will want to install MySQL first. I usually use the binary packages they provide for OS X. The packages do include the headers and MySQL client libraries which DBD::MySQL requires. Once the MySQL package is installed, DBD::MySQL should install without issue.
Here is my output:
$ perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite DBD::mysql 1 not found.
Writing Makefile for maatkit
$ mysql --version
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.51b, for apple-darwin9.0.0b5 (i686) using readline 5.0
I notice that there are in effect DBD::MySQL packages in the fink repositories. For example:
ayaz#ayazs-macbook$ fink list | grep -i 'dbd-mysql'
dbd-mysql-pm586 3.0008-10 Perl5 Database Interface to MySQL
dbd-mysql-pm588 3.0008-10 Perl5 Database Interface to MySQL
Perhaps installing through fink one of those packages may help alleviate your troubles.
Also, and I cannot be certain of this, you may want to install for MySQL-5.x (if you have that version installed) the mysql15-dev and mysql15-shlibs packages. I installed those through fink thus:
$ sudo fink --use-binary-dist install mysql15-dev
