I am trying to install some library, it asked me to install the following first:
linux-tools-virtual 3.13.0.35.42
linux-tools-lowlatency 3.13.0.35.42
linux-tools-generic-lts-trusty 3.13.0.35.42
linux-tools-generic-lts-saucy 3.13.0.35.42
linux-tools-generic 3.13.0.35.42
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package 'linux-tools' has no installation candidate
I am using aws instance as ubuntu user, version 14.

A quick look at apt-cache search linux-tools reveals that even apt-get doesn't know which one you're talking about. There's a lot of those packages that are similarly named.
Be explicit about which one it is you need to install. Since I don't know which one you require for your application, I can't recommend a specific, exact one for you to install that I know will work 100%. But the linux-tools-generic and linux-tools-virtual seem to be promising. Look into those packages and see if they contain the libraries you need.

Hello i've got problem with merge 4 pages A6 into one page A4.
I was trying with ghostscript, pdftk and others... closest was pdftk command:
pdfnup --nup 2x2 --paper a4paper --noautoscale true --outfile a4.pdf a6.pdf
But got this error...
pdfjam: This is pdfjam version 2.08.
pdfjam: Reading any site-wide or user-specific defaults...
(none found)
pdfjam ERROR: can't find pdflatex!
I've got TeX installed but error still occults.
I suppose your distribution is Ubuntu. (for other distributions the solution should be similar)
Be sure you have installed texlive-latex-extra package from here.
There was an official bug report on similar issue and has been fixed.
Check if you have pdflatex executable on your system. Be sure that the location is listed in $PATH. If not add it into it.

This is more of a curiosity question, but I feel it's worth asking.
Frequently when downloading software on Linux, I'm used to using sudo apt-get install [package] or whatever package manager is available, but for some projects like sbt, they don't have a repository (so I can't just type sudo apt-get install sbt and use it out of the box). I have to download the binaries and add them to PATH.
What I like to do is create a directory specific to programs like sbt, specifically ~/Programs. I move the unpacked directory into it, and add it to PATH. However, I'm always a little wary about moving the binary out of the directory it came in, so I don't want to remove it.
Is there such a thing as a recursive PATH variable, so that not only ~/Programs is added but also ~/Programs/sbt, ~/Programs/other_program, etc.? And if not, is it a good idea to make it recursive? I've tinkered with the Linux kernel before as part of a university class, I wonder if it's worth experimenting with.
Add something like this to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:
for each in ~/Programs/*
do
PATH+=:"$each"
done

The specific package I'm referring to is trac-1.0.1-1.sdl6.noarch.rpm. According to this page:
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-file-format.html
it seems to be part of the package release version. The fact that "sdl" does not appear in my /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc file also suggests that it's not related to the architecture.
If you search google for sdl6, just about every hit is the name of an RPM package. Nowhere, however, could I find an explanation of what it means.
That's the distro tag (for CentOS normally el#). In this case sdl appears to be for Springdale Linux.

When I was trying to install ColdFusion on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, the installation script incorrectly report a warning regarding the C++ compatibility pack.
I dont know why its happening any solution?
I found a solution in the adobe coldfusion website. they said...
If you plan to use Verity or C++ based custom CFX tags, you should
interrogate your system for compat-libstdc++ and glibc packages and
install them if necessary. Either query all packages and use the grep
command as a filter or query the exact package name. For example, the
command rpm -qa | grep compat-libstdc++ queries all packages and
filters or greps on the string compat-libstdc++. This command might
produce two results, compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3 and
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.

I have installed xmedcon-0.11.0-1.i686.rpm on my Fedora Linux machine. I ran the RPM file. Since I'm kind of new to Linux, I want to ask, where can I find the installed file and how can I run it?
Thanks.
From terminal use
$ rpm -ql xmedcon-0.11.0-1.i686 </code>
/etc/xmedconrc
/usr/bin/medcon
/usr/bin/xmedcon
You will see all the files installed. The main files will be above. From command line
run
$ /usr/bin/xmedcon
In case you already know the command name, you can type which medcon in a terminal and it should tell you where the executable is located.
And as full.stack.xchg said, just typing the name of the executable on a command line (or finding it in the graphical menu) will start the program.
