I started tinkering with gnome-shell to kill time and I just can't get jhbuild to work! I followed all the instructions on the jhbuild guide on the gnome-shell wiki.
I got to the part where it says to run $ jhbuild sysdeps gnome-shell.
txjoe#superpotato:~$ jhbuild sysdeps gnome-shell
System installed packages which are new enough:
libvpx (vpx.pc, installed=1.4.0)

System installed packages which are too old:
libical (libical.pc, required=1.0.1, installed=1.0)

No matching system package installed:
I installed the following packages manually
libsystemd-dev
python-poppler
libtiff5
python-libtiff
And I got the same output when I ran the same command again.
I checked other answers here, nothing seems to work so far. Any tips?
You need to install the development packages. It is possible that you installed the runtime libraries, but those ones do not have the header files to compile a program.
The development libraries in Debian-based distributions end in -dev. Thus, installing libtiff5 is not enough, because it is the runtime library.
In your specific case, you must install libtiff5-dev, libpoppler-glib-dev, and libsystemd-dev.
Alternatively, you can try:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-shell
This command will install the development libraries required to build gnome-shell. At least, this might help to start with, and fix the particular issues/

I got the following error after running cmake for this :
Could NOT find Qt5FontDatabaseSupport (missing:
Qt5FontDatabaseSupport_LIBRARY Qt5FontDatabaseSupport_INCLUDE_DIR) (found
version "5.12.8")
I cannot find any package with that name in my linux repository.
That is one of the dependencies for the Qt QPA plugin , as stated in the CMakeLists.txt comments.
I use Kubuntu 20.04 with cmake 3.16 and Qt5.12.
Thanks.
Most likely you don't have the build dependencies installed. Qt5FontDatabaseSupport is part of the gui Qt module, for which the headers and devel files are installed with the qtbase5-dev package.
Kwin has many more build dependencies than qtbase, so the best if you install all of them with:
sudo apt build-dep kwin
at once, or with
sudo apt build-dep kwin-wayland
if you want to hack it under wayland.
I've Redhat 7.2 running Cinnamon, and hate the docks provided, how come I can't resize the area a widgit is allocated? All apps are jammed into half the dock.
Drives me to compile cairo-dock from source as it isn't an ibm redhat blessed package.
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
...
-- checking for module 'wayland-client>=1.0.0'
-- package 'wayland-client>=1.0.0' not found
-- checking for module 'gtk+-3.0>=3.4.0'
-- package 'gtk+-3.0>=3.4.0' not found
so I find gtk version is 3.14.13-16.el7 using yum list installed "gtk*"
I downloaded gtk 3.4.4 and compiled it and follow the INSTALL provided, sudo make install, which completes with no errors
rerunning cmake gives me the same error, so I'm wondering if I had to remove 3.14? I'm not really sure how best to proceed and thought it best to get some advice. I'm not really in the mood to break things. Thanks for your time and consideration.
Calvin, I'm also IBMer and installed RHEL7.2 from IBM's image.
I could successfully download the sources and install Cairo Docker and respective plugins.
I followed the instructions in this page here:
Glx-Dock - Generic:Compilation
First, install all dependencies below from official IBM repository.
I used the same package names for the Fedora dependencies and some may NOT exist for RHEL. Therefore, some plugins won't be available by fetching dependencies from official repository only - but the Cairo Docker will work.
sudo yum install cmake make pkgconfig gcc gcc-c++ gettext glib2-devel\
cairo-devel librsvg2-devel dbus-glib-devel libxml2-devel libXrender-devel\
mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel pango-devel libXxf86vm-devel\
libXtst-devel libXrandr-devel libX11-devel libcurl-devel gtk3-devel\
vte3-devel lm_sensors-devel libxklavier-devel libexif-devel\
libetpan-devel gnome-menus-devel alsa-lib-devel libical-devel\
upower-devel libzeitgeist-devel
Untar the packages and build with the commands described there except that you need to force the lib64 in both main and plugin builds with:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DFORCE_LIB64=yes
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.
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:

And something gone wrong because command like: ps, top are crashing

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.
I cannot build Poppler 0.14.1 from source code on CentOS 5.4. When I do ./configure it ends with a message like:
checking for FONTCONFIG... configure:
error: Package requirements
(fontconfig >= 2.0.0) were not met:
I have successfully built from source code, and installed
fontconfig 2.8.0
on that machine, and also set the PKG_CONFIG to point to the folder that contains the fontconfig.pc (/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/).
It is true that when I do $PKG_CONFIG --version fontconfig it gets echos '0.20' but the fontconfig.pc does write that the version of the library is 2.8.0. Also there are no other libfontconfig.so other then the one build from source on that machine, so I am sort of stuck and not sure what to do (except debugging configure)
Has anyone solved a similar case before?
Thanks
Peter
Check if the package fontconfig-devel is installed. If not, install it and then try your build again.
For debian squezee, I've had to install packages manually from the sources:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/
(Download directly, not use the git because there are problems when configure)
And BTW, very useful guide to install poopler and dependences from the scratch:
