How do I install HTTP Live Streaming Tools on 10.7 Lion? - iphone

Lion has been out for a couple of months, but the HTTP Live Streaming Tools installer reports that "This package can only be installed on Mac OSX Version 10.6.X."
Is there a way to install the tools on 10.7 Lion?

I filed a Bugreport with Apple about this issue.
If you have a developer account I'd advise you to do the same at bugreport.apple.com

You could try this workaround to extract the package files manually.

Just had this issue.
Use UnPKG to unpack the Streaming Tools Beta.pkg file. See: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Go to "Streaming Tools Beta" on your desktop. cd ~/Desktop/Streaming\ Tools\ Beta
Copy all files in /. sudo cp -r * /
Edit "/usr/bin/mediastreamvalidator" and change the first line to point to python v2.6: "#!/usr/bin/python2.6"
Known issues:
mediafilesegmenter fails with "Symbol not found: _kFigFormatDescriptionExtension_SampleDescriptionExtensionAtoms"

How to run VSCode on Centos6

My company is using an old CentOS6 and they wont update it before months (years?). This is totally out of my control and it obviously makes using up to date software a nightmare.
I would like to use Visual Studio Code as a C++ IDE but its intellisense plugin is running with glibc >=2.14 and Centos6 comes with glibc 2.12.
It also needed some more dependencies I managed to recompile and load with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I tried compiling a new glibc and load it as well but it segfault, as expected.
I used the compiled version of VSCode from the official website.
I tried compiling it myself but it requires to download many files and my virtual machine does not have Internet, I can only transfer files through ftp. I created a local yarn repository, compiled all appropriate version of Yarn, NodeJS but a compiled binary is trying to download electron and I have no idea where to put the file to trick him into thinking it's downloaded already (assuming I could).
There are standalone solutions to run software on old distribution, like AppImage but VSCode is not part of their apps.
Would you have any idea on how to run VSCode on Centos6? Did you ever try to compile VSCode without and Internet Connection?
Currently the only viable solution I see would be to create an AppImage at home.
To run VS Code Server on CentOS 6, I followed the "glibc and libstdc ++ on RHEL / CentOS 6 update" article from here.
Perhaps this option will help you.

Reverting to old Google Cloud SDK shell version

I am trying to deploy a Java project into Google App Engine from Eclipse and am blocked by JSPs.
Everything JSP makes my app not capable of deploying due to "'utf8' codec can't decode byte" error.
Not trying to insert any strange (not UTF-8) character, everything Eclipse is set to UTF-8.
Tried to send archives which were OK with the Google App Engine Tools for Eclipse (soon to be deprecated), won't deploy.
I've seen threads regarding reverting the Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse plugin to previous version (1.58 seemed to avoid a few problems) being a possible solution to these recent errors but I have a problem installing, the batch just tells me "Install will exit" ?!
Tried to uninstall previous (latest) versions before, made sure I was launching the bundled-python batch, still not capable of installing an old version of the Google Cloud SDK shell.
Would be glad if anybody had any suggestion at what makes my install fail.
Thanks in advance.
There are a few ways you can get older version of Google Cloud SDK.
Download versioned archive
(If you are on windows) Grab google-cloud-sdk-XXX.0.0-windows-x86_64-bundled-python.zip file.
Unzip it to some\dir
Add some\dir\google-cloud-sdk\bin directory to your system path
Restart your command prompt (or other apps which depend on gcloud) and run for example gcloud info, it should be fully functional installation, no need to run install.bat.
Alternatively, use existing SDK installation and gcloud component manager to go back to previous versions. For example
gcloud components update --version 158.0.0
target by version number using apt-get :
sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk=294.0.0-0

Can't install Jekyll on Mac - trying to set up Github Blog

I sucessfully installed Ruby, version 1.8.7 and have been trying to install Jekyll in the Terminal using sudo gem install jekyll. Here's the error I get:

I've read a bunch of topics, but can't get anything to work. Many topics say I have to have XCode first, but it won't even download, much less install. I read that in Lion you have to set up another administrator and install it under that profile, so I did that, but the install package doesn't exist. It won't even download. I think this may be because I'm not a registered Apple Developer?
Another recommendation was that I install Ruby RVM - this also won't install. Here's the command I used: bash < <( curl https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )
And here's the error I get:

I only care about Ruby RVM and XCode to the extent that I need them to install Jekyll. I'm just trying to get my Github blog going and I can't seem to do it. I've read and read and read documentation and there's something I'm missing. I'm pretty sure it's knowledge everyone's assuming I have - I don't. I'm a beginner programmer. Any help would be much appreciated.
Ok, here's how I got it to work. It was kind of a random experimentation process until something worked.
I installed XCode and Ruby RVM per others' suggestions and the latter led to my resolution. One of the suggestions on this page said to run "rvm requirements" and read the text. It basically tells you what you need to run & upgrade rubies. This documentation was quite helpful. It explained that what I needed to install Jekyll wasn't really XCode - it was GCC. Evidently, older versions of XCode came with GCC, but newer versions do not, which is why installing XCode didn't solve my problem. It also directed me to where I could download & install GCC, warning me that installing GCC over a newer version of XCode is known to cause problems. So, I uninstalled XCode & headed over here to install GCC.
It was that simple - I installed GCC and Jekyll installed in seconds.
ERROR: Error installing jekyll: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
So the error is "Failed to build gem native extension." when you run sudo gem install jekyll command. You'll find a tip in Jekyll Wiki's Install section:
If you encounter errors like Failed to build gem native extension on Windows you may ...
On OSX, you may need to update RubyGems:
$ sudo gem update --system
So, try to update your RubyGems and run sudo gem install jekyll after that. And I think you don't need to install ruby rvm if you're not a ruby developer.
Btw, I think Ruby v1.9.1 is a recommended version.
And for your Xcode related question, you can download it from App Store though you're not a registered Apple developer. It's free.
Xcode is useful when you need to build some libs with gcc (gcc will be installed together after you've installed the Xcode). But I've no idea whether you'll need it when you install the jekyll.
I tried all the solutions above and did not work. I posted my answer here originally:
RVM requirements error
but for brevity, this is what I posted:
It seems that on OSX 10.9 and XCode5 moved some libs around on us. So I had to install XCode5-DP6 (Dev Preview 6), opened up DP6 and in the settings, you have to tell the command line tools to use the new DP6 build and not the Standard XCode from the marketplace.
First, I had to install homebrew. Nothing liked to play with macports. I am on my first mac as of only a month ago, so macports was just what solved apache for me at the time. I then had to run 'brew install autoconf'
Once I did that I then ran rvm requirements, everything installed without issue. then sudo gem install jekyll from there and it all works like a charm now.
I'm sure once Mavericks is actually released this will get ironed out. We are using early releases after all...
Same issue encountered! After reading this article and random experimentation like following,
xcode install
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash
sudo gem install jekyll
fixed the issue and could successfully install jekyll

Satchmo install on a mac using virtualenv

I have virtualenv set up and working correctly on my mac os (leopard) running python 2.6 & django 1.2.3. I want to install Satchmo but I haven't found solid instructions for a mac install using virtualenv. Can anyone help regarding this? thanks.
If you're using buildout with virtualenv then try this: https://github.com/shywolf9982/satchmo-buildout
Of course installing newest XCode ie. 3.1 or 3.2 is a must..
Unfortunatelly compiniling stuff on Mac can give you the creeps... My collegue and I, were fighting 12h with installation of geodjango on Spatialite database, and we didn't make it after all :)
If you're not using buildout then just use macports for installing modules listed in above repo's buildout.cfg file.
Good luck!
This Satchmo Project post contains the instructions I follow on Snow Leopard. I use Homebrew and/or MacPorts in lieu of the Debian package tools.

How can I install the BlackBerry v5.0.0 component pack into Eclipse?

I'm trying to install the latest v5.0.0 "beta 2" BlackBerry OS Component Pack into Eclipse 3.4.2 with BlackBerry Eclipse plugin v1.0.0.67, but have hit a few problems. Has anybody found an easy way to do this?
I had no trouble installing the v4.5.0 and v4.7.0 Component Packs.
It's rather strange that BlackBerry are shipping new phones with the v5.0.0 OS installed (e.g. a Storm 2 9550 and Bold 9700 that I just bought), and pushing that update to phones whilst the BlackBerry website still considers the v5.0.0 SDK / Component Packs to be "beta 2"! If anybody knows when an official non-beta Component Pack is going to be released that might solve my problem...
In case it helps, the problems I've hit so far are:
-Contrary to the implication on the BlackBerry website, the Eclipse "Software Update..." option for the v5.0.0 Component Pack claims it only works on the v1.0.0 Eclipse BlackBerry plugin, not the new v1.1 one.
-I then tried to install the v5.0.0 Component Pack through the "Software Updates..." menu in Eclipse using the v1.0.0 Eclipse BlackBery plugin. Once I'd done the 200MB download the install failed with a "Invalid zip file format" error.
-I might just have been unlucky with a corrupted download but I did try it twice, once through "Software Updates..." and once by selecting "Archive" to install the downloaded Component Pack (which unlike v4.5.0 and v4.7.0 was a JAR, not a ZIP).
Using Eclipse 3.5.1 and the 1.1 component pack, I had no trouble installing the 5.0 JDE from the 1.1 component pack update site from within Eclipse - ie: using the update site http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.5/java ...
It could be possible that Blackberry has fixed whatever problem you encountered in their latest beta, or the latest version of Eclipse just works better...but at any rate, I hope you've gotten your setup working, but if not, perhaps trying again with the latest versions will fix things!
They (rim support) did experience some issue with the zip they have on the site for you to install.

, the support mentions:
The "Unconnected sockets not implemented" is caused by a bug in current versions of JDK 1.6.
You can work around this by downgrading to JDK 1.5 (modify your PATH and JAVA_HOME variables) to install the plug-ins. You may need to delete the files in your windows temp folder as well (Eclipse could have cached bad copies of the file).
This should be fixed in JDK 1.6 update 14.
(so what version of java are you using?)
As mentioned in the same thread:
The following is from the "blackberry plugin for eclipse" download page:
It is recommended that users outside of North American or users who have experienced problems with the BlackBerry update site use the links below to manually download and install the components.
Yep, I've read that bit. That's essentially what I tried to do. What that doesn't say is you need to remove the update site from your site list before trying to install the manual downloads via the archive function.
