I want to install ns2 on my computer. After trying in some ways like:installing on Ubuntu 13.10, or installing via cygwin on 64 bits windows 7, I faced with problems such as unable to find ns.exe in ns-2.26 or other versions directory of cygwin. Now I've installed win XP sp3 on VMware, and ns2 on cygwin in this windows environment. Now most of those problems(with Ubuntu 13.10 or cygwin on win7) are solved but i need to have these packages "XFree86"(all of them) and "mansim" on ns2 (v2.26). The problem here, is that i don't know where and how can i download and install them and not sure whether it's possible or not. I've googled it but can't find useful idea. Thanks in advance and sorry for bad English.
Solved you say? Why then be interested in the year 2002 XFree86?
I.e. XFree86 hasn't been used in a new OS release since then : Redhat 9 and other OS´s from that year. (The latest OS with XFree86 was RHEL3, based on Redhat 9.)
Cygwin: If you have X (The GUI Desktop), you also have the "x-packages". (xorg-***, libX*)
Ubuntu: You'd usually not download software. 'apt' is used for that.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install g++ g++-4.4 autoconf libtool libxmu-dev xgraph
.... When 'libxmu-dev' is installed, you have all the required X-libraries for ns2.
Mannasim: There's an old patch for ns-2.29.3.
But what we mostly use today is the patch for ns-2.35. Or the complete "ns235-mannasim":
$ git clone git://github.com/paultsr/ns-allinone-2.35.git

I want to install chromedriver in one of the AWS EC2 instance which is linux(Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.7 Santiago - 64 bit). While installing the chromedriver, we ran into issue due to missing packages. I could find the package here but this in turn requires many other packages. Using any other AMI is not an option.
Error is -
error while loading shared libraries libgconf-2.so.4 cannot open shared object file
I am using Ubuntu x64 and yum didn't work for me. But I found somebody mentioning simply use
$sudo apt install libgconf-2-4
worked for me to install the libgconf.
Please ask yum for the file, libgconf-2.so.4 : $ yum provides */libgconf-2.so.4
Install GConf2 : # yum install GConf2
Packages http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.8/os/ ... and updates http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.8/updates/
The chromedriver depends on the same packages / files as GConf2, and then some. Please see for yourself : $ ldd chromedriver , where 'chromedriver' is the unzipped executable.
EDIT :
Solution for the chromedriver issue : Install a chromedriver for RHEL 6, chromedriver-31.0.1650.63-1.el6.x86_64.rpm https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S255p3kFXNX1c0UWlGOWpZOHM/view?usp=sharing
Please download the package, and 1) cd Downloads/ 2) yum install chromedriver-31.0.1650.63-1.el6.x86_64.rpm ... and you have /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
P.S. : The EL6 chromedriver was built from the source package chromium-31.0.1650.63-1.el6.src.rpm
You might want to read this CentOS thread about your GLIBCXX_3.4.15. Especially apropos is this answer on the thread, especially the FAQ it references.
CentOS (which aims to be as compatible with RHEL as possible) is a curated LTS distribution (as is RHEL). You might find a version of chromedriver compiled for RHEL 6 in one of the many repositories. If not, you'll probably have to build it yourself.
I have installed the latest version of Linux Mint (17.1) in my computer. I installed R version 3.0.2. However, when I try to install the package xslsx, or dplyr, the system says that these packages are unavailable for the R version I have, and that the shall be installed on the R 3.1.2 version. 've been trying to upgrade R from all the possible means but I haven't had a sucessful result. Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
Follow the instructions posted here: How to upgrade R in ubuntu?
Note that Linux Mint 17.1 relies upon the Ubuntu Trusty package base, so you will need to use trusty/ as the Ubuntu version. Also, make sure to use the command sudo apt-get upgrade r-base at the end of the procedure, not just sudo apt-get upgrade, otherwise R won't be upgraded.
Your question may be considered off-topic, but it can be helpful to other Mint users.
Hope this will help, your question helped me alot... Note that Linux mint is based on ubuntu trusty...
sudo su
echo "deb http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9}
sudo apt-get upgrade r-base
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Version specific installation using source code is much different than the installation using YUM or APT. It depends on OS version and the number of dependencies that need to be met for the installation to complete successfully. I have documented the installation of R 3.3.3 on SLES11 SP3 in http://hashprompt.blogspot.com/2017/06/installation-of-r-on-suse-linux.html Hope that it might help you install on linux systems.
I can't figure out how to install properly from the tar.gz file linked from the main R page. I download it, I run ./configure make, and it installs to my Downloads folder. Couldn't figure out how to install it properly elsewhere (must be easy, but I'm green on these things -- advice appreciated), and RStudio, e.g., doesn't know to look in my Downloads folder for the current version (also probably not the most robust approach).
Instead, I was able to grab the last r-base-dev .deb file from trusty here/xenial here, which handles installation automatically.
R versions 3.5+ have changed directories:
trusty
xenial
From the vim site:
sudo apt-get install mercurial libssl-dev
sudo apt-get build-dep vim
hg clone http://hg.debian.org/hg/pkg-vim/vim
cd vim
hg checkout unstable
debian/rules update-orig
dpkg-buildpackage -i -I
cd ..
It looks like there are no commands called debian/rules on my system.
The wikia vim tips site is not complete and ignores all the hard work of packagers of vim. The standard way to build a Debian or Ubuntu binary package is from a source package. Using source packages are by far a better solution for most people.
pkg_basics.en.html#s-sourcebuild
The upstream site https://code.google.com/p/vim/ is indeed hosted with mercurial and there is a github clone https://github.com/b4winckler/vim however very few people really need the most bleeding edge sources. The build-deps are pretty significant.
The Debian vim maintainers also use mercurial to maintain their packaging per debian/README.source at http://hg.debian.org/hg/pkg-vim/vim and Debian developers with commit access can help with the packaging that uses quilt to maintain patches at the URL ssh://hg.debian.org/hg/pkg-vim/vim Information about the Debian binary packages created from hg.debian.org (also used as a base for Ubuntu) can be found: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=vim
For Ubuntu a much better way is using a PPA (personal package archive) of someone that is familiar with the 7.4 sources, how packaging works, the latest patches and the latest dependencies. Very recently (Aug 2013) vim 7.4 landed in the future Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy archive available for everyone to install using standard methods so no effort is needed at all. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim Quite a few PPAs contain vim builds already. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=vim but there are not many current 7.4 builds backported all the way to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise yet as described https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. As described in the following bug I tried to build it for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS precise since that is what I use on my main machine. With a three line patch I got it working. I haven't put it up in a PPA yet. The bug formally requests the backport so if you care about this please vote it up and/or comment on it so the bug will get more attention. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1211971
If you find a PPA you like, for example like this one https://launchpad.net/~cjohnston/+ppa-packages you can add it by typing "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cjohnston/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade".
I created native installers for my air application successfully under MacOS and Windows.
With Ubuntu 10 I am able to create a .deb package, but when I launch it opens the Ubuntu software center showing error:
Dependency is not satisfiable: adobeair (>= 2.5.0.0)
I thought native installer should be able to download the proper adobe air version if available (2.5.1 seems available as deb package). If I install air for linux 2.5.1 from adobe website my application launches fine.
Did anyone experience the same issue?
Thanks in advance for any help

Unfortunately, many years late "Adobe AIR for Linux is no longer supported." following what adobe page says. Using the "AIR archive" is possible to get unsupported versions, the 2.6.0 version is the most recent available. If you need to install a program that require a newer version of it, you might go to Virtual box with a Windows guest.
For version 2.6.0 the recommend steps for Ubuntu 16.10 are:
for 32bit machine
wget -O adobe-air_i386.deb http://drive.noobslab.com/data/apps/AdobeAir/adobeair_2.6.0.2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i adobe-air_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install -f && rm adobe-air_i386.deb
for 64bit machine
wget -O adobe-air_amd64.deb http://drive.noobslab.com/data/apps/AdobeAir/adobeair_2.6.0.2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i adobe-air_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f && rm adobe-air_amd64.deb
The recommend steps for Ubuntu 16.04/14.04/12.04/Linux Mint 18/17/13 (both extracted from here):
wget -O adobe-air.sh http://drive.noobslab.com/data/apps/AdobeAir/adobe-air.sh
chmod +x adobe-air.sh;sudo ./adobe-air.sh
What version of the adobeair package is available from the Ubuntu repositories?
A .deb is just an archive and the dependencies have to be available from the repositories the system is configured to use. It can't resolve the dependency by downloading it from some specific location you know of but the system is not configured to use.
If the needed version of the package is not available from the Ubuntu repositories then your only options are to reconfigure the system to use an additional repository that does have the needed dependency before you try to install your package, or download and manually install the dependency before you try to to install your package.
Try to install itdpkg -i --force-architecture adobeair.deb
I use fedora 13 on my laptop, and I use 'yum' to install "recordmydesktop" just for fun.One day, my boss ask me to install "recordmydesktop" into his computer (whose operating system is Redhat Enterprise 5.2).
The yum in his computer does not work! I can't yum install recordmydesktop! I know the reason is in the yum's source, but how can I use the source in fedora to the yum in RHEL(Redhat Enterprise)?
try rpmforge as repository... edit one file in /etc/repo.d and add as repository rpmforge...this should work
