I need to get the newest version of gnu make for freebsd 9.2.
I tried
pkg update gcc
and got this output:
Usage: pkg update [-fq] [-r reponame]
For more information, see 'pkg help update'.
and
pkg install gcc
with the following output:
No active remote repositories configured.
And both did not work. I hope you can help me
pkg update
to get updates
and then
pkg install -f [pkgname]
To force instalation of just single package [pkgname] after update of repositories and to avoid updating all packages installed

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

I am currently trying to find a way to install the package openjdk8 on a FreeBSD 9.2.
To do that I used :
sudo pkg install openjdk8
It worked without any problem. However, this has also updated the perl package to the version 5.24. We have many scripts that work only with perl 5.16.3 so I would like to keep this version of perl.
I already tried to uninstall the perl 5.24 package and to reinstall perl 5.16.3 and it worked. So I am convinced openjdk doesn't really need to update this package. I already tried to lock the package perl 5.16.3 but openjdk8 refuse to install himself. I have this message :
perl 5.16.3 is locked and may not be modified
The installation ends and my package is not installed. Also, for specific reasons I don't want to use the port method. I absolutely want to use the pkg method.
So my question is this one : Is there a way to complete my installation of openjdk8 and to prohibit perl to update ?
Thanks for your help.
I finally found an answer to my question. By installing my package offline, it installs the minimum of dependencies. It's not a very popular way to install packages on FreeBSD but it works very well.
Just follow this :
sudo pkg install -F openjdk8
This command allow you to just fetch your packages and its dependencies. Once it's done, you have to find the location of the packages you just fetched.
sudo find / -n *.txz -print
For me the result was
/var/cache/pkg/openjdk8-8.112.16_1-1baeb24a94.txz
Then I go to this directory with :
cd /var/cache/pkg
Now you just have to use :
sudo pkg-static add openjdk8
That's all. It will extract the package and the minimum of dependencies.
Probably you are updating other packages and therefore is updating Perl, when installing openjdk8 no other dependencies are fetched also there is no perl dependency in the port Makefile.
This is the output when installing only openjdk8:
# pkg install openjdk8
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):
New packages to be INSTALLED:
openjdk8: 8.152.16
Number of packages to be installed: 1
The process will require 165 MiB more space.
Indeed you can install the package without having Perl.
What you can do is install openjdk8 and then install the version of Perl that you require, at the end, it should not modify/affect the openjdk8 package.
Also, this could be useful,
pkg install --dry openjdk8
This will check what will be installed.
And in case there is a dependency (let's say you don't have perl) this you could try this:
pkg install --ignore-missing openjdk8
I'm trying to install a library that uses gmp and am running the ./configure on it.
So far, I've gotten past several snags, such as requiring gcc, g++, and m4 by using:
yum install gcc
yum install gcc-g++
yum install m4
Now I'm getting this error:
checking for the GMP library version 4.1.3 or above... no
configure: error: Cannot find GMP version 4.1.3 or higher.
GMP is the GNU Multi-Precision library:
see http://www.swox.com/gmp/ for more information.
When compiling the GMP library, do not forget to enable the C++ interface:
add --enable-cxx to the configuration options.
As such, I tried both installing and updating gmp using yum:
yum install gmp
yum update gmp
Install tells me it's already installed and is v. 5.1.2
Updating says there's nothing to update.
I went to the gmp site and it is currently v. 6.0.0
I downloaded it and ran configure (using --enable-cxx), make, and make install.
Yet, nothing has changed. It still says I have v. 5.1.2 and the configure for the library still says it can't find 4.1.3 and above / try enabling c++.
The gmp files (such as gmp.h) are being placed in /usr/local/lib and /include
I've been at this for hours without any progress. I'm rather new to linux so I imagine there's something I just don't know about.
Am I not installing 6.0.0 correctly to overwrite the already installed one?
Or is there a way to reinstall the original with the c++ option?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
dnf install gmp-devel resolved this for me on rhel
When you manually install something, as you have, it doesn't get installed in the normal /usr/lib directory and therefore it doesn't overwrite it. This is a good thing. In general, you shouldn't mess with files installed by the package manager. (Except in the case that they are config files that are meant to be edited.)
When you install manually, it is installed to /usr/local/lib. Fortunately, GCC and other compilers don't care which directory something is installed in, they will find it (when it's in standard places like /usr/* or /usr/local/*).
Just include the C++ header and add the correct -l library flag.
I figured it out.
Under the --help section of the ./configure for the library I was trying to install, there was actually a feature just for this:
--with-gmp-include=DIR
--with-gmp-lib=DIR
Using these, I was able to get it to install.
Thanks for the help.
I think I was too focused on trying to update the system install of gmp.

This looks like issue 1952
It was actually weirdness with the way my ubuntu VPS is commissioned. Mine did not come with a C compiler or libdev obviously.
The problem fix I found was to install libdev first, then the GCC
Then apt-get install libicu-dev.
Update 2015: additional comments include:
yum install libicu-devel worked for me
You just need to make sure "patch" is installed (yum install patch) then it should work
For MacOS install the following dependency:
brew install icu4c
According to the documentation (https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/install/installation.md) the package libicu-dev is required
Install it with "apt-get install libicu-dev" and then charlock_holmes could be installed
I used "yum install libicu-devel" and then I could install charlock_holmes
I got the same mistake on a Centos 5.4 server, the yum repository only have the icu version 3.6, so i have to search and install manually the library icu 4.2 which solve the problem. In case someone else need to know how to do it, i recommend to check this link http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/tags/release-4-2-1/readme.html#HowToBuildUNIX
I had kind of the same problem: when I was trying to install charlock_holmes gem, I had this error:
charlock_holmes-0.7.3/mkmf.log
have_library: checking for main() in -licui18n... -------------------- no
I fixed it by running the first command of #VonC:
sudo apt-get install libicu-dev
Hope I helped someone!
