Is it possible to install an older Boost library on Ubuntu - linux

I'm trying to install libboost1.46-all-dev on Ubuntu 13.04 because it's necessary for our project.
Unfortunately I was not able to find it in my repos while doing
sudo apt-cache search libboost1.49-all-dev
Default is actually libboost1.46-all-dev. Does anyone has an idea where I can find the older package and install it using apt-get ?

Installing software package developed for AMD64 when my PC has ARM64 architecture

I'm somewhat of a linux noob, but I'm trying to use a microcomputer with aarch64 Architecture. I am trying to download software using wget and a Public Cert Key for software developed for x64/AMD64. When I try to run
sudo apt-get install <package>
I get:
E: Unable to locate package <package>
I am assuming it is because it was developed for AMD64. From everything I've found, I think I need a cross compiler to translate the binary from AMD to ARM,but nothing I've found has helped me get any closer to actually installing my desired package. Can anyone give me an ELI5 version or point me in the direction of how to educate myself better on system architectures?
You may have better luck using update command:
sudo apt-get update
to upgrade packages lists
sudo apt-get search <generic name of package>
and then
sudo apt-get install <package name found in search>
The generic name I mean "apache" instead of "apache-php-modlib"

not able to install any package using Yum always says package not found

I'm installing "FASTX Toolkit" using yum but not able to install .My operating system is RHEL v7 with 64 bit

Linux: How to install certain old version of a software via apt-get

I am trying to install the same versions of Apache, MySQL and PHP in my Linux PC (Raspberry Debian) as installed in my remote public server.
For instance, I'd like to install the last legacy release of the 2.2 branch, Apache/2.2.31.
apt-cache showpkg apache2
Output:
Package: apache2
Versions:
2.4.10-10+deb8u4 (/var/lib/apt/lists/mirrordirector.raspbian.org_raspbian_dists_jessie_main_binary-armhf_Packages)
But there isn't any information about the 2.2.31 version, neither in "Reverse Provides" section. I can do it by compiling from the sources, but it takes a lot of time. And I tried to find a reliable PPA or a reliable sources for deb packages, without any success.
How can I do it?
If APT tracks the specific version you are looking for, (like Kyle said) then it's pretty easy.
sudo apt-get install <pkg_name>=<pkg_version>
or
sudo apt-get -t=<target_version> <pkg_name>
To see which packages are tracked, run
apt-cache showpkg <package_name>
Unfortunately though, if a particular version is not managed by the APT, then you are out of luck using APT. It might be managed by some of the other package managers out there.
Ref. How can I downgrade a package via apt-get?
If you have the version number, or the target release, apt-get supports choosing a particular version or target release. More details can be found on manual page of apt-get. It can also be accessed from a terminal by typing man apt-get.
sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version-number>
or
sudo apt-get -t=<target release> install <package-name>

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.

how to get/download yum development tools for ubuntu?

I need to build yum package in ubuntu for Stress 1.0.2 application in ubuntu . I am i beginner and provide me Links to download and learn building an yum installer package.
Beware that RPM/yum packages rarely work properly on Ubuntu/Debian systems.
If you want to try it anyway, you can use the alien tool to convert the RPM into a DEB, then you can use dpkg or gdebi-gtk to install it. The homepage of alien is http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/alien/ and you can install it with apt-get install alien.
Edit: why do you want to use the RPM package given that you can install stress and stressapptest from the Ubuntu repositories?
