I'm trying to build tmux from source (downloaded the .tar) and I've encountered some problems with dependencies.
When I run
./configure
I get this error
checking for LIBEVENT... no
checking for library containing event_init... no
configure: error: "libevent not found"
But I do have the libraries installed.
$ dpkg -L libevent-2.0-5
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libevent-2.0.so.5.1.9
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libevent-2.0-5
/usr/share/doc/libevent-2.0-5/copyright
/usr/share/doc/libevent-2.0-5/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libevent-2.0.so.5
I managed to solve the problem by making
$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
$ ln -s libevent-2.0.so.5.1.9 libevent.so
Is the configure script looking specifically for libevent.so? If so, why is not a symlink by default on my liibevent installation?
Still, when solving that problem, another similar occurs now with libncurses which also I have installed.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Make sure you install the "-dev" version of these libraries (i.e. "sudo apt-get install libevent-dev"). You shouldn't need to do the soft link.

Issue
When installing mingw on a fresh MSYS2 instance I run into the issue of gcc not found:
$ g++
bash: g++: command not found
Setup
Fresh MSYS2 install on relatively clean windows 10 install:
pacman -Syu
pacman -Su
pacman -S make
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
Diagnostics
It appears that GCC is successfully installed into the directory /mingw64/bin
Yet my path consists of
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:
As such gcc is not found.
I have tried adding /mingw64/bin to the $PATH however this seems like a temporary fix of an underlying problem.
My question specifically is, is there any reason as to why either the mingw is not installed into the /usr/bin/ directory or the installation did not add itself to the path, and or any simple reason as to what is causing this.
Thanks in advance!
Since you installed mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc it seems like you want to compile 64-bit native Windows applications. Therefore, you should start MSYS2 by running mingw64.exe, found at the top level of your MSYS2 installation. That will put /mingw64/bin/ on your PATH and set some other useful environment variables.
Solution
I have found simply adding C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to the host windows computers PATH variable this, in turn, adds \mingw64\bin to the MSYS2 $PATH solving the problem.
I have a standard core i5 laptop and I'm trying to make LFS (Linux From Scratch) it has all worked fine (after a couple of retries) until I try and make Coreutils-8.30 when I do the Make I get:
lfs#robert-HP-EliteBook-8760w:/mnt/lfs/sources/coreutils-8.30$ make
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /mnt/lfs/sources/coreutils-8.30/build-aux/missing aclocal-1.15 -I m4
/mnt/lfs/sources/coreutils-8.30/build-aux/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.15: command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.15' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
<http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
<http://www.perl.org/>
Makefile:6034: recipe for target 'aclocal.m4' failed
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
I've gone around and around on this and I'm not getting anywhere. I've found a couple of references to gettext but that hasn't helped.
Thanks for any guidance.
Just got through the same issue. You need to install libtool-bin, automake and makeinfo
sudo apt-get install libtool-bin automake makeinfo
Then run autoreconf -f -i in the mpfr directory. After that you can run ./configure etc.
I ran into this issue when I applied the patch for coreutils that was provided in the downloads. I noticed the instructions did not tell me to apply this patch at this step so I tried to build again without the patch applied and it worked.
I just met and solved this problem，My solution is not necessarily the best。
This questions because you don't have "aclocal" tools with version 1.15,
This tools provided by automake-1.15, which depended by autoconf-2.69 or later.
So My solution is installing autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.15:
1. installing autoconf-2.69
tar -xvf autoconf-2.69.tar.xz
./configure --prefix=/tools
make && make install
2. installing automake-1.15
tar -xvf automake-1.15.tar.xz
./configure --prefix=/tools
make && make install
then you can compile your coreutils-8.30
Check if autoinfo from gettext is installed OK.
This error when building coreutils is caused by absence of autopoint.
During my installation of Code::Blocks on my kali-linux machine
after executing ./configure command on my program directory , everything is okay until i try to make my program .
here is my error message :
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.13' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or 'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake

make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
i tried every single solution on the Internet
nothing worked , including autoreconf commands
installing the automake tool , libtool which is already installed on my up-dated machine . also tried to install what the error message says which is m4 and perl but i found that they also are installed
if possible to provide me another way to install Code:blocks IDE , i'd be very happy , thanks .
Install automake.
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/aclocal /usr/bin/aclocal-1.13
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/automake /usr/bin/automake-1.13
Try to install automake
sudo apt-get install automake
It includes the library you're looking for.
I had same problem compiling PCRE and it did the trick.
Did you change anything such as the m4 files? That might be the problem, you changed something so that the compiler can't read it.
How to install Petite Chez Scheme on Ubuntu?
I run Ubuntu 15.10 and try to install pcsv8.4-a6le.tar.gz (non-threaded, 64 bit) for Linux.
After having unpacked this tar in /usr/locale, I enter the commands
sudo ./configure
sudo make install
from within the custom directory.
However, instead of a clean install, I get the following errors (which I hope someone can help me out with):
nlykkei#nlykkei-Studio-XPS-1640:/usr/local/csv8.4/custom$ sudo make install
if [ yes = no ]; then if [ ! -f ./scheme ]; then /bin/rm -f ./scheme; ln -s ../bin/a6le/scheme ./scheme; fi; fi
if [ ! -f ./petite ]; then /bin/rm -f ./petite; ln -s ./scheme ./petite; fi
/bin/rm -f ./scheme
echo "const char *S_date_stamp = \"`date +%m%d%Y%H%M%S`\";" > datestamp.c

On recent versions of Ubuntu (and future versions of Debian e.g. "Buster", and other Debian based distros), you can install Chez Scheme directly from the repo(s) by:
sudo apt install chezscheme
Previously you had to install it by compiling from source. Chez Scheme has been open source, for a few years now, and can be compiled from source, if it is not directly installable from the distribution's repo(s). Just download the source code compile and install. This will install not just the "petite" runtime version but also the full compiler. You can compile and install the software with:
./configure
sudo make install
Full build and install instructions are available here.
Pre-requisites for building are:
GNU Make
GCC
Header files and libraries for ncurses
Header files and libraries for X windows
On Ubuntu, install the libncurses5-dev package to get libncurses.so. (You can discover this by visiting http://packages.debian.org/file:libncurses.so (sadly, this doesn't seem to work for http://packages.ubuntu.com/file:libncurses.so).)
You may find other linkage errors if Chez requires other libraries to have development packages installed too. Use the same technique as above.
Go directly building from their Github.
ChezScheme
And then just do
./configure
sudo make install
Prerequisites according to Building are:
GNU Make
gcc
Header files and libraries for ncurses
Header files and libraries for X windows
And yes in case On Ubuntu, install the libncurses5-dev as Chris stated. Did just that and have no errors shown in clean install.
Chez Scheme has been open sourced since this question was asked. Since Bionic (18.04LTS) the full chezscheme is available as a repository.
First do
sudo apt update
then install the package:
sudo apt install chezscheme
This provides both the petite interpreter and the full scheme compiler.
There is also a PPA for trusty and xenial here:
https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/lisp?field.series_filter=
Download the RPM package instead and use alien from terminal to produce a deb file:
fakeroot alien PetiteChezScheme-8.4-1.x86_64.rpm
You may need to install fakeroot, alien for this to work:
apt-get install fakeroot alien
Then you'll have a deb file. If you are on a desktop you can just double click the file and it will open Software Center and you can click install and it will fix your dependency problems.
I am trying to install some software on my mac; however I keep receiving the same error:
configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XMEDCON_GLIB_CFLAGS
and XMEDCON_GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.
See `config.log' for more details
I am not quite sure how to go about adding the pkg-config to the PATH. I have seen online (see link) that I should add the following:
Link showing how to direct PATH variable
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin # Fixed typo as mentioned in comment
which is where I have placed pkg-config. I still keep getting the error though every time I try to configure the files using ./configure. Any help would be super appreciated!
For Ubuntu/Debian OS,
apt-get install -y pkg-config
For Redhat/Yum OS,
yum install -y pkgconfig
For Archlinux OS,
pacman -S pkgconf
for me, (OSX) the problem was solved doing this:
brew install pkg-config
Answer to my question (after several Google searches) revealed the following:
$ curl https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.tar.gz -o pkgconfig.tgz
$ tar -zxf pkgconfig.tgz && cd pkg-config-0.29
$ ./configure && make install
from the following link: Link showing above
Thanks to everyone for their comments, and sorry for my linux/OSX ignorance!
Doing this fixed my issues as mentioned above.
if you have this error :
configure: error: Either a previously installed pkg-config or "glib-2.0 >= 2.16" could not be found. Please set GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS to the correct values or pass --with-internal-glib to configure to use the bundled copy.
Instead of do this command :
$ ./configure && make install
Do that :
./configure --with-internal-glib && make install
Try
which pkg-config
if it is empty then fire
brew install pkg-config
OR : ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
MacOS users
Unfortunately, pkg-config does not come with OS X by default. Here are some notes on how to compile from source. It assumes that you have Xcode installed.
Download and extract
curl -O http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz
tar xfz pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz
Configure and Install
cd pkg-config-0.28
setenv CC /usr/bin/cc (for tcsh)
export CC=/usr/bin/cc (for bash)
2a) If you have super-user powers
./configure --prefix=/usr/local CC=$CC --with-internal-glib
make
sudo make install
2b) if not
./configure --prefix=$HOME/someplace/in/my/path CC=$CC --with-internal-glib
make
make install
