I am using gcc8.2 and linux operating system. I have bison package installed. Still I am getting the below error:
echo "* Error: No suitable bison/yacc found. *"
echo " Please install the 'bison' package."
exit 1
I have checked the "$ac_cv_prog_YACC" and it is not having any value. It should be set to "bison -y" if bison is already installed.
Any idea why $ac_cv_prog_YACC does not have any value?
I got this error when compiling the conntrack-tools package (version 1.0.1)
You say
I have bison package installed.
But the test in the ./configure file disagrees. That means that it cannot find an executable file named bison anywhere in your $PATH. You should start by verifying that $PATH has the correct value and that there is an executable named bison. (Apparently the ./configure script for conntrack-tools only looks for bison and byacc, and not for yacc.)
I don't know much about yocto but I did find the following note in a change log for version 2.5.1:
bison-native no longer included in many dependency chains meaning some recipes need bison-native adding to DEPENDS

I had the inspiration to start messing around with Erlang and I am having problems installing it... I am using Linux Mint 16 (petra). I installed the dependencies, and then downloaded otp_src_17.1.tar.gz and ran 'tar -zxf otp_src_17.1.tar.gz' I then ran ./configure which gave me some errors that made it impossible to run make.
These are the errors I'm getting (actually what I did was I did ./configure > configure.txt to get all the lines it prints as it configures, and it conveniently still printed to the console everything that has errors - neat)

The thing is - I know that I have the ncurses library, as evidenced by the fact that when I do "sudo apt-get install ncurses-base ncurses-bin" it says:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
ncurses-base is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
When I run "locate ncurses" it gives me the following:

I am at a loss as to where to proceed. Thanks for any help
I believe you need to install ncurses-dev
'sudo yum install ncurses-devel.x86_64' prior to running ./configure worked just fine for me. Fedora 21 x64, btw.
After I extracted the tar, the documentation was in '/opt_src_{version}/HOWTO/INSTALL.md. The contents of which states:
Required Utilities
These are the tools you need in order to unpack and build Erlang/OTP.
WARNING: Please have a look at the [Known platform issues][] chapter
before you start.
Unpacking
GNU unzip, or a modern uncompress.
A TAR program that understands the GNU TAR format for long filenames.
Building
GNU make
Compiler -- GNU C Compiler, gcc or the C compiler frontend for LLVM, clang.
Perl 5
GNU m4 -- If HiPE (native code) support is enabled. HiPE can be
disabled using --disable-hipe
ncurses, termcap, or termlib -- The development headers and
libraries are needed, often known as ncurses-devel. Use
--without-termcap to build without any of these libraries. Note that
in this case only the old shell (without any line editing) can be used.
sed -- Stream Editor for basic text transformation.
ncurses just happened to be the only required package I didn't have installed on this development VM. So your mileage may vary.
This was the output of 'locate ncurses' after I installed the ncurses lib:
/usr/lib64/libncurses++.so.5
/usr/lib64/libncurses++.so.5.9
/usr/lib64/libncurses++w.so.5
/usr/lib64/libncurses++w.so.5.9
/usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5

So I'd say the OP had a corrupt / bad ncurses install. I'm just posting this here because this was the #1 Google result I got when I was too lazy to RTFD.
One alternative is using the option "--without-termcap"
otp_src_18.0/configure file says:
--without-termcap do not use any termcap libraries
(ncurses,curses,termcap,termlib)
./configure --prefix=/home/username/erlang/18.0 --without-termcap
Set your PATH variable as shown below.
export PATH=$PATH=/home/username/erlang/18.0/bin
Not sure about implications though. :)
Hope this helps someone.
I am trying to install tagsistant on my linux fedora 20 system, so I started to follow the install instructions text which says first do ./configure. When I do so it fails with the message:
configure: error: "GThread support not available. Please install libgthread"
I had already installed libgthread, glib and libfuse in response to this and previous messages.
Neither grep GTh nor grep libg, on the config.log file listing, find anything. Is there a fix for the error? I have not listed the contents of config.log or the output from the screen, as these are very long, but I can extract any relevant details if that will help.
After further investigation I have found the source of the error message in config:
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for g_thread_init in -lgthread-2.0" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking for g_thread_init in -lgthread-2.0... " >&6; }
if ${ac_cv_lib_gthread_2_0_g_thread_init+:} false; then :
$as_echo_n "(cached) " >&6
else
ac_check_lib_save_LIBS=$LIBS
LIBS="-lgthread-2.0 $LIBS"
And discovered that g-thread is deprecated, so not in the package, see g-thread-init deprecated
So again, please can anyone suggest how I get round this?
On reflection I think I should have asked this question on the Unix and Linux site, please, how do I migrate it there, or: can someone do it for me?
Tagsistant ./configure is a bit misleading in reporting missing dependencies. First, GThread support is provided by glib itself, so the output should suggest to install glib, not libgthread.
Moreover what you really have to install are library include files. Usually you can get them by installing the -dev or -devel version of the package. In RedHat/Fedora the second will fit:
$ yum install glib-devel
Do the same for other packages like DBI, FUSE and libextractor.
I'm trying to use 'import Text.XML.HXT.Curl' in my project so I can have access to online files (some xml files).
So the error I get is :
Could not find module `Text.XML.HXT.Curl':
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
I tried :
:! cabal install curl
but I get an error that it must be on unix or cygwin, so I go on installing cygwin, now it says:
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
curl-1.3.7 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 77
:! gcc -version
Access is denied
I tried to download the curl package and install it with cmd : runHaskell Setup.hs configure but I get this :
Setup.hs: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
Missing C library: curl
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version)
Tried installing gcc,g++,libcurl,make in cygwin, still fails.
Tried installing mingw/mysis and I failed too. Something about curl/curl.h missing.
Does anyone succeeded and can tell me how he did it ?
Installing curl on windows can be tricky. But you can try hxt-http package. It is based on native HTTP package, and doesn't require external dependencies. AFAIK it will just work out of the box on windows.
Small note: to use curl with hxt, you need to install hxt-curl package. But, yes, it will not help, cos it depends of curl package :(
So, my answer actually is about "using hxt on windows", not about "using curl on windows". You can ignore it in case it doesn't help you.
I am trying to cross-compile climm-0.6.4 to windows under Ubuntu with the following command:
./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --enable-ssl=gnutls
and I get this error message:
**checking for libgnutls-config... no
checking for libgnutls - version >= 0.8.8... no
*** The libgnutls-config script installed by LIBGNUTLS could not be found
*** If LIBGNUTLS was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the LIBGNUTLS_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to libgnutls-config.**
After some research on the Internet I found a hint here:
The package's ./configure script is trying to invoke libgnutls-config
and/or libgnutls-extra-config to search for the gnutls library. Newer
versions of gnutls do not ship these scripts anymore.
and I am using gnutls-2.12.5
Does anybody have a patch or a kludge trick so that I am able to cross-compile climm-0.6.4 with gnutls-2.12.5?
Thank you in advance!
cheers
Daniel
Try the --with-libgnutls-prefix=PFX option to the configure script telling where the library is.
Other option in to set the environment variable LIBGNUTLS_CONFIG to a program that outputs just the parameters you need to compile/link the library.
Update:
Try the following script, name it mygnutls_config:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" == "--version" ]
then
shift
EXTRA="--modversion"
else
EXTRA=""
fi
pkg-config gnutls $EXTRA "$#"
And then
$ chmod a+x mygnutls_config
$ LIBGNUTLS_CONFIG=`pwd`'/mignutls_config' ./configure --enable-ssl=gnutls
note that for this to work you need pkg-config to detect the crosscompilation configuration, not the native one. So you may need the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment variable to point to the directory where the appropriate gnutls.pc file is.
doing "cabal install hs-ffmpeg" fails like this:
checking for faacEncGetVersion in -lfaac... no
checking for zlibVersion in -lz... yes
checking for libdc1394... configure: error: Package requirements (libdc1394) were not met:
No package 'libdc1394' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libdc1394_CFLAGS
and libdc1394_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
hs-ffmpeg-0.3.4 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1
I have libdc1394-22 and libdc1394-22-dev installed on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.
I'm thinking that the dependency needs to be updated to reflect the new package that supercedes libdc1394, but I'm not sure how to do that.
hs-ffmpeg's configure script is looking for a libdc1394.pc. For some reason, Ubuntu ships a libdc1394-2.pc instead.
Edit hs-ffmpeg's configure.ac to use the "correct" name and then run autoreconf, and it should work.
Something like mkdir -p ~/.pc; ln -s /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libdc1394-2.pc ~/.pc/libdc1394.pc; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH+=:~/.pc may work too.
