I am a Linux noob and trying to build stuff from sources.
To keep it clean I'd like to use checkinstall but can't find it for Fedora 20
Is this possible ?
If so where is that ?
yum install checkinstall did not return any results
The instructions listed in the link given by #JeffJohnson are not required. Just clone the git repository and the make will work just fine (follow the instructions from the INSTALL file). You can find the link to the git repository here.
There are (untested by me) directions for building checkinstall at http://www.patrickmin.com/linux/tip.php?name=checkinstall_fedora_13

I have trouble in installing PCL 1.9 on my Ubuntu 18.04. Could anybody please help? Really thanks.
I already tried as many tutorials on the Internet. However they both won't work.
When trying to add ppa source and use apt/apt-get to install libpcl-all, it seems that the source doesn't work for ubuntu18.
When I was trying to build the PCL myself, on Ubuntu 18.04, it has lots of dependencies problems. Many tutorials say that using apt to install the dependencies, however some libraries are not available in apt.
There are some people suggesting to use apt install libpcl-dev. Although there is no errors in installation, when I tried to compile an example code, it still doesn't work.
Using pcl-trunk might be your best choice.
git clone https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl pcl-trunk
cd pcl-trunk && mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
Earlier I was in Ubuntu & it was easy to install smlnj using
apt-get install smlnj
but now I shifted to Arch & I'm finding it difficult to install smlnj.
I tried to find smlnj package through yaourt but I didn't found any.
Then I tried to install it by steps given in official site by downloading tar file. I followed given steps and extracted tar file in /usr/local/sml & then compiled by running command
config/install.sh.
After doing all this I tried to run sml but was not successful. I tried setting environment variable but again was not successful.
Please tell me whether I'm missing any steps or doing it wrong way. What is correct way to install smlnj in Arch Linux?
Update: As Alexander (xyproto) points out, pacman -S smlnj should work again now that SML/NJ is in the [multilib] repository. The solution below would still work, but credit for making installation more convenient should go to him. :-)
Before: It seems that the package became unavailable for x86_64 in Feb 2017, but it doesn't look like it should have happened. I've asked Alexander who maintains the package in [community].
The AUR doesn't contain an smlnj package because it's against AUR policy to overlap with official packages, unless the AUR package is compiled with some tweak that is clearly visible in the package name.
You can still build an Arch package and install that by finding the PKGBUILD and accompanying files at: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/smlnj (or by cloning the git repo below with those four files in it):
~ $ git clone https://github.com/sshine/smlnj-arch.git
~ $ cd smlnj-arch
~/smlnj-arch $ makepkg
~/smlnj-arch $ sudo pacman -U smlnj-110.80-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
I installed git using
_sudo apt-get install git_
But git help everyday gives following error:
No manual entry for giteveryday
Even though, this appears similar to one How do I get git manual entries?
I feel this is different.
git-man is already installed and git help <command> works for all commands except giteveryday.
I don't know why this is happening?? Am I missing something??
Since you have downloaded git from a source and ended up not having the git manpages.
You can download those and then try your command :
sudo apt-get install git-man
Manual download source is here.
Edit : As suggested by #ElpieKay in Ubuntu the same command goes as :
sudo apt-get install git-doc
If Git is installed, you can always run git --html-path to see where the html docs are. You can find the link to giteveryday in the index.html.
Also you can read it online.
I was searching, how to install CLISP (http://www.clisp.org) in RedHat Linux. In the CLISP web site Fedora installation link is broken.
yum install clisp doesn't work even though sudo apt-get install clisp in Ubuntu.
Anyone there, installed CLISP in RedHat Linux?
If you just want a CL-implementation you can use sbcl which will run standard CL-code as good as clisp.
If you want clisp download the tarball and follow the instructions in ihe INSTALL file.
There is a thread in the CentOS forums about a yum installation alternative, but it might not work on recent releases.
I just installed it on Fedora 18. Repo:
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/18/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/c/
It has been moved to 'archives.fedoraproject.org' because it's old. So if you have an old fedora you might have to add this repo to your yum repos.
You can build from source, I just wanted to learn a little bit about lisp and this allowed me to get setup and get started:
You can find releases here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/release/
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/release/2.49/clisp-2.49.tar.gz
tar xvfz clisp-2.49.tar.gz
cd clisp-2.49
./configure --prefix=$HOME --ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv
cd ./src
make install
I am trying to install jpegoptim on a CentOS 6 server. I have downloaded and unpacked the package but when I try to run ./configure from the jpegoptim-1.3.0 directory I get an error that says:
"cannot find libjpeg or you have too old version (v6 or later required)."
I have checked and I have libjpeg-turbo install, which should supercede libjpeg. I have not been able to find anything on the net about this issue. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Rob
The configure script is looking for jpeglib.h which is in the libjpeg-turbo-devel package.
You may want to use yum to help you with what you are looking for. The following may get you what you need:
yum search libjpeg
yum install libjpeg*
Note I have the epel repository installed on my system too. So if the above don't give you what you want, you may need to install the epel repository first.
