I'm using MSYS2, and I was expecting to be able to install flickcurl.
I tried installing as follows, but it seems that it can't find the file.
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-flickcurl
error: target not found: mingw-w64-x86_64-flickcurl
Am I missing something here?
Probably your MSYS2 is outdated (think of it like Linux package manager which you update before installing stuff), you should run following commands and if you are asked to close terminal do it:
update-core - this one will fail if your MSYS2 is not very old, this is a good sign
pacman -Syu - you might have to repeat it until you see there is nothing to do; it updates your installed packages
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-flickcurl
Those packages should be available after those steps:
$ pacman -Ss flickcurl
mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-flickcurl 1.26-1
Flickcurl is a C library for the Flickr API (mingw-w64)
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-flickcurl 1.26-1
Flickcurl is a C library for the Flickr API (mingw-w64)
Commands explained:
update-core - used in the past to upgrade core packages, now removed since pacman does it
better
pacman -S <package_name> - checks local database for package
and installs it if it's found (will fail if there is no database or
it's outdated)
pacman -Su - compares installed packages to the
database searching for updates (will also fail if there is no
database or it's outdated)
pacman -Sy - downloads database with
available packages
pacman -Syu - downloads database and searches
for update, recommend way of upgrading
Final note:
MSYS2 doesn't support partial upgrades for the same reasons as Like Arch Linux. That means you should run pacman -Syu before installing package.

I have GCC v9. But I'm trying to install a GCC 4.8.1 version to test a library compilation on that very old version of GCC.
The version is not available in the official Ubuntu repos,it is deprecated, but I've found it in other mirrors as told by the official GCC website. This one seems like popular one:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test
I have very little knowledge of linux package systems except for the basic. I want to keep both versions. So I should do this:
sudo apt -y install gcc-4.8.1 gcc-9
The reason why I want to use this command and not install it from the file, apart from the difficulty of doing that for me, is that I'm following a guide in order to have several GCCs on my system:
https://www.fosslinux.com/39386/how-to-install-multiple-versions-of-gcc-and-g-on-ubuntu-20-04.htm
When I add the url to the sources.list file seems like it is working.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt update -q
But when I try to call the install with gcc-4.8.1 or gcc-4.8 , or even gcc-4 the package doesn't exist.
Package gcc-4.8 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
'gcc-4.8' has no installation candidate
Also, I don't know if websites like these can be added to the repos list in order to find the package using APT:
http://www.netgull.com/gcc/releases/gcc-4.8.1/
[EDIT]
I downloaded the package from the website I linked. I have no idea how to install this by hand. If only I could find a repository that could help me with this... I have no idea how to make APT help me with the installation.
But I'm trying to install a GCC 4.8.1 version to test a library compilation on that very old version of GCC.
Developers have tools up their sleeve so they don't have to install dependencies and bloating their systems for every library (and every configuration of that library!) they want to try out and test.
Use docker. You could write for example a testing script, assuming your project uses make:
# test_my_lib_in_gcc-4.8.sh
#!/bin/sh
docker run -ti --rm -v $PWD:/project -w /project gcc:4.8 -u $UID:$GID sh <<EOF
make && make test
EOF
that will compile and test your application in using 4.8 gcc. Consider how easy it is to change gcc version - just change the number. You could test your library in gcc, in different versions, and using other compilers and on different distributions to make sure it works for others. If you're a developer of the library, write an automatized CI pipeline that would automatically test your application each commit in specific docker environment, using ex. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/README.html or https://travis-ci.org/ .
visual-studio-code-bin is installed from the arch wiki. The only way I know how to actually update the software is reinstalling it again from the arch wiki which is tedious and inconvenient.
Any help is appreciated
Old post with a lot of split information so for anyone who finds this later, you have 2 choices:
Install the open source version of visual studio code from the official repos.
Install the official Microsoft binary version via the AUR that contains some proprietary code from Microsoft that is not available in the fully open version (e.g. some debugging some languages).
Info on how to do this can be found in the wiki.
It depends on how you installed vscode. If you did sudo pacman -S code, then the solution is to run it again. But if you did yay -S visual-studio-code-bin, then you should run THIS command again.
The best way to use VS Code on Arch is to use the open source version on the community repos. Which you can install by doing
sudo pacman -S code
visual-studio-code-bin is the proprietary binary which can be installed from the Arch User Repository.
If for some reason you want to go for the latter approach, you can either use an AUR helper or manage everything manually.
You can see the Arch Wiki's page on AUR helpers which shows the different options you have: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers
You can use these helpers to help manage your updates just like you would on pacman.
Here's how you would do things manually: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_and_upgrading_packages
Just as a warning, AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux and the manual approach, though less user friendly is the recommended way by the Arch Wiki to manage your AUR Packages.
First a short version:
Simply run
sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -S visual-studio-code-bin
The longer explanation:
Getting the right version of vscode
First of all, "code" and "visual-studio-code-bin" are two different packages. "code" is an open-source release and "visual-studio-code-bin" is an Microsoft-branded release. One of the major differences is that "code" doesn't support any Microsoft Extensions like C/C++, to my knowledge. This information can be found in the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Visual_Studio_Code#Installation. For more detailed information about the differences I'll refer you to the vscode repository: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Differences-between-the-repository-and-Visual-Studio-Code
By running "sudo pacman -S code" you (unintentionally) uninstall "visual-studio-code-bin" and install "code" because of wired some decency conflict.
So if you want to update/install "visual-studio-code-bin" run:
sudo pacman -S visual-studio-code-bin
This should fix any Problems with no functioning Microsoft-Extensions
Of course if you want to sick to the open-source version you can use
sudo pacman -S code
Fixing your Problem with not updating to the right version
I have to admit this took me ages. I had two machines, one with an freshly installed version of geruda Linux (an arch based distro) and an six moth old version of geruda Linux. Both had vscode installed. At the time of writing this the current version of vscode is 1.59.0-1. Interestingly the my old machine, witch had vscode version 1.58.0-1 installed didn't know that there was an newer version. The newer machine was aware of the the newer version. An simply running pacman -S visual-studio-code-bin didn't change anything. This hinted my to the problem of an not synchronized package database. And forcefully synchronizing the database with
sudo pacman -Sy
did the trick for me. For a more detialed information I would redirect you to the man pages: https://archlinux.org/pacman/pacman.8.html or this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117765. After running this command you only need to install vscode with "sudo pacman -S visual-studio-code-bin" or "sudo pacman -S code" to get the newest version of vscode
As rightly said by #AlexanderHD27 code is open source and vscode is microsoft official version but it is not open source. though code is more like an experimental version of of vscode; however, you can install code directly in archlinux using sudo pacman -S code but for the the vscode you have to clone the repository from github and install in the following way:
git clone visual-studio-code-bin
then cd visual-studio-code-bin and makepkg -si
remember if you don't have git installed you can do that using sudo pacman -S git. As for the update; code is updated during system full update but vscode is not updated. So, you have to cd into the directory again and do git pull the makepkg -si again.
As KamilCuk and Aviad mentioned there is no visual-studio-bin package, since it is a aur package you can use yay (AUR helper) to get a updateable version. For more information about yay see: https://github.com/Jguer/yay.
Install yay
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
cd ..
rm -rf yay
Install visual-studio-code-bin with yay
# install
yay -S visual-studio-code-bin
If you installed vscode via pamac manager in manjaro, try this:
pamac update
To update with the cloned AUR directory.
First update pacman database:
pacman-Sy
Then in the AUR directory you can update the AUR to the latest version with:
git pull
Then update dependencies with:
makepkg -s
Finally you install it:
makepkg -i

Okay so i just made a fresh install of nodejs package on archlinux using pacman. Command for the same was
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm . Now when i tried to run the same i am getting error as
node: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.57: Which pretty much means that libicu is either not there or not the correct version. The problem that i am facing is that it is not there in pacman. I tried
sudo pacman -S libicu, which returned not able to find the package. What is the right way to resolve this issue. FYI : just a note, i would prefer not to install from source and prefer using pacman for the same. If there is any other output that you need to know please comment below and will let you know about the same.
I am currently on manjaro i3 fresh install.
Just found out, The name for package in arch linux is icu and not libicu. Once that is installed node will start working fine.
Update
After using node for quite sometime i realised that a better way to install node is using NVM. It would install both node and npm locally and you get the option to manage multiple version.Installation is as simple as
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.1/install.sh | bash
This error is caused by installing node js and npm package modules with missing packages that are unsupported by your system how about you try this:
$ sudo pacman -Rsc -n nodejs
$ sudo pacman -Sy nodejs
$ sudo pacman -Sy npm
did you use testing repo?
If you enabled testing repositories, but later on decided to disable them, you should:
Remove/Comment them from /etc/pacman.conf
pacman -Syuu to "rollback" your updates from these repositories.
The second item is optional, but keep it in mind if you notice any problems.
Also you can install stable ver : pacman -S core/icu
You just need to update arch
sudo pacman -Syu
I'm running Debian 7.2 on Google Compute Engine (Though I suspect Centos, Red Hat, and Amazon Linux AMI all have the same problem). After downloading the 64-bit Linux version of the Dart SDK from this page, any dart command I run, for example, dart --version, will output the following error:
./editor/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./editor/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart)
./editor/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./editor/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart)
Update: October 2014: Dart can now be installed on Debian with apt-get:
Instructions summarized from the dart website:
# Enable HTTPS for apt.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
# Get the Google Linux package signing key.
sudo sh -c 'curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -'
# Set up the location of the stable repository.
sudo sh -c 'curl https://storage.googleapis.com/download.dartlang.org/linux/debian/dart_stable.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dart_stable.list'
sudo apt-get update
# Finally, install the dart package!
sudo apt-get install dart
Instructions for building the binary yourself:
This problem appears to be caused by Google compiling against an edge version of GLIBC (>= 2.15) which is not generally supported on Linux outside of Ubuntu 12 (Precise Pangolin).
First of all, do not attempt to download an experimental version of GLIBC or EGLIBC. I was able to get dart to work using that method, but the rest of my machine fell apart. Updating GLIBC is a recipe for madness.
Instead, the best solution is building dart from source. Despite the GLIBC version requirements of the binary, the source itself has no such requirements. There are wiki pages for installing from source on debian, centos/fedora/red hat/amazon, ubuntu, and other linux versions.
Here is an overview of those steps, which I can confirm works on Debian 7.2. The centos/fedora/redhat steps appear to be the same except they use yum instead of apt-get.
Install subversion and the required build tools:
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install subversion
sudo apt-get -y install make
sudo apt-get -y install g++
sudo apt-get -y install openjdk-6-jdk
Check out google's depot tools and add gclient to your path
svn co http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/depot_tools
export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/depot_tools
Download the dart source at the desired branch.
Replace 1.2 with whatever branch you wish to build. You can see a list of available versions here. In general, the latest numbered branch is best.
gclient config http://dart.googlecode.com/svn/branches/1.2/deps/all.deps
gclient sync
gclient runhooks
Move into the new dart directory
cd dart
Do only A or B below:
Note: For 32bit, use the --arch=ia32 flag instead.
A. Build the entire Dart SDK including pub, dart2js, dart, etc.:
tools/build.py --mode=release --arch=x64 create_sdk
B. Build just the dart executable:
tools/build.py --mode=release --arch=x64 runtime
The dart executable is now at either out/ReleaseX64/dart or out/ReleaseX64/dart-sdk/bin/dart you can do a smoke test by printing the version
dart/out/ReleaseX64/dart --version
The output should be something like Dart VM version: 1.2.0 (Mon Mar 3 03:06:20 2014) on "linux_x64".
How to help fix this issue
This was much more painful than it needed to be, since the binary clearly doesn't need to be built using GLIBC >= 2.15. If you wish to draw attention to this issue, please star this dart bug.
recently i tried to install oracle on my linux with apt (I never used yum before) using fast manual:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/ginnydbinstallonlinux-488779.html
And after command:
sudo yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall
I got error:

then I tryied to uninstall oracle and dependencies but after command:

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
No module named yum
Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jul 10 2013, 06:42:56) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq
So it seems like yum install in my system new libraries but didn't link it correctly? I dont know what do in this moment because it seems like armagedon on my ubuntu...
Does this mean you're on ubuntu and tried to install rpm packages using yum? The manual you used is for Oracle Linux 6, why would you try that on ubuntu?
rpm packages are not compatible with debian based systems like ubuntu, which use deb packages. So you've probably screwed your system big time, overwriting important system libraries with incompatible ones.
If apt-get is still working, then you can try to reinstall (apt-get --reinstall install) the equivalent libraries to the ones mentioned in the install manual you linked to - naming isn't always the same for rpm and deb packages. dpkg -l should help you see which the correct installed libraries are. I'd start with the C libraries (libc) etc.
But if apt-get is screwed also, then you'd need to download the packages manually from an ubuntu mirror and install them using dpkg, but I think a reinstall (or restore from backup if you have one) would be the best option.
