Installing Chez Scheme 9.4 on Linux Mint LMDE - linux

I am trying to install Chez Scheme 9.4 on a Linux Mint LMDE system. Chez Scheme requires GNU make, gcc, header files and libraries for ncurses, and header files and libraries for X windows.
I successfully installed ncurses with the command sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev, and I have a directory /etc/X11 with lots of stuff in it. Per the Chez Scheme BUILDING file I ran ./configure, which worked properly, then sudo make install, which failed with error X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory.
I'm not familiar with X windows. Can someone please tell me exactly what packages I need to install to have the required X windows header files and libraries?

I installed sudo apt-get install libx11-dev and the compile completed successfully.

Yum cannot find the package I want to install

I am trying to a simple command sudo yum install SDL2. I know that this package exists as per the SDL website:
Red Hat-based systems (including Fedora) can simply do "sudo yum install SDL2" to get the library installed system-wide, or "sudo yum install SDL2-devel" to get headers and other build requirements ready for compiling your own SDL programs.
However, when I try to execute my command, I get the following:
Setting up Install Process
No package SDL2 available.
Error: Nothing to do
I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga). How can I go about getting yum to locate this package?
ONLY SDL is available on redhat 5.3
uname -r

With Fedora 26, SDL2 is available in repo fedora

System crash after oracle installation with yum

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:
Failed: ca-certificates.noarch 0:2010.63-3.el6_1.5 chkconfig.x86_64 0:1.3.49.3-2.el6 file-libs.x86_64 0:5.04-15.el6 filesystem.x86_64 0:2.4.30-3.el6
initscripts.x86_64 0:9.03.38-1.0.1.el6_4.2
Complete!
And something gone wrong because command like: ps, top are crashing
login#Ass-K55VJ:/etc/yum/repos.d$ ps -e
ps: relocation error: ps: symbol procps_number_version, version _3_2_5 not defined in file libproc-3.2.8.so with link time reference
login#Ass-K55VJ:/etc/yum/repos.d$ top
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
then I tryied to uninstall oracle and dependencies but after command:
sudo yum remove oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall
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.

Enabling gcc-multilib manually after successful gcc installation on Debian system?

I installed gcc-4.7.2 on my i686 Debian system successfully but i don't know how to enable gcc-multilib after installation.
I installed gcc-4.7.2 on my debian system with configuration "--enable-multilib" but it does not work.
I copied the files(gcc-multilib package files) at the same location mentioned in gcc-multilib package file list though it does not work.
i guess you must install gcc-multilib:
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib libc6-dev-i386

QT version is not properly installed, please run make install

I installed QT-creator from a downloaded copy of qt-creator-linux-x86-opensource-2.6.1.bin using
sudo ./qt-creator-linux-x86-opensource-2.6.1.bin
in Ubuntu 11.04
I tried to add QT versions in QT-Creator/Build/QT-versions configuration and it asked for a qmake executable.
I installed it using:
sudo apt-get install qt4-devel
which deployed qmake in /usr/bin/qmake
I selected it in QT-Creator/Build/QT-versions configuration as manual, Qt-4.7.2 (System) /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 but QT version is not properly installed, please run make install message appears and I can't use it in QT-Creator/Build/Kits configuration.
How can I solve the problem and configure qmake for Qt-creator use in project creation?
This solved the problem for me on recent Ubuntu version:
sudo apt-get install qt5-default
Just so this no longer shows up as unanswered:
To install all qt-devel libraries, use
sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui
In Linux Mint 18.3 (32 bit) it also solved the problem:
sudo apt-get install qt5-default
So that Qt5 (5.5.1) was installed ready-to-use as a kit in QtCreator.
Although to install the Qt 5.9.0 version I had to explicitly download the package from https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.9/5.9.0/single/ (2 Gb unpacked) .
Then I had to run this command in terminal:
cd /home/username/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.0
Then this command:
./configure
Then this
make
I was having this problem even after sudo apt-get install qt5-default (it was already installed).
However the version of QMake I had pointed to was in the Linux Processor SDK (02.00.02.11)
I fixed it by sourcing the environment setup before running qtcreator. The following shell script did it for me:
source /opt/ti/processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-02.00.02.11/linux-devkit/environment-setup
# substitute the location where the SDK is installed.
~/Qt5.9.0/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator -block
# substitute the location where QTCreator is installed

download emacs binary for linux?

I am trying to install emacs in offline computer.
but every time I try to build from the source and install it, it doesn't make it.
too complicated.
(terminal ./configure => error try with --without-makeinfo,
after a while, error try with --without-x,
after a while, error can't find emacs version...(and I also want to use X version))
so I want to download emacs binary file but I can't find for linux one.
where can I download pre-build binary emacs 23.3(lastest) for ubuntu?
I can download emacs 23.3 binary file for windows but not for ubuntu.
You could get the deb file directly from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/emacs-snapshot/emacs-snapshot_20090909-1_amd64.deb and then try to install it using dpkg -i but there will probably be dependencies which you might miss. I'd suggest you try an apt-get install emacs-snapshot on your target machine. It will tell you all the packages it needs to fetch (along with URLs). Fetch all of them from a machine connected to the net and then dpkg -i those packages.
You can try the Ubuntu Emacs PPA here.
type in terminal
apt-get update
apt-get install emacs
for compile, are you download last version ? http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/
you can download deb file here
http://ir.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/emacs23/
