Is there a good way to install latest cmake version from CentOS 6.5?
I'm doing yum install cmake but it's giving me 2.6.4 from base repo which I don't want.
I tried installing cmake28 but the problem is that when I try to do ./configure it throws an error saying cmake is not available.
rpm -Uv ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Application:/Geo/CentOS_6/x86_64/cmake-3.0.0-143.1.x86_64.rpm
Hope this helps to somebody. If you have any problems with it let me know. Have fun.
I know this is an ancient question, but I got here by google searching and wanted to share what I knew so far.
when you sudo yum install cmake28, you get a /usr/bin/cmake28 binary on your machine. You can setup a symlink to make your configure script work via the following:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/cmake28 /usr/bin/cmake
Not sure why the cmake28 package doesn't do this for you.
Well, after looking at the tutorial CMake gives on their website, it says download this and after that you have too type "./bootstrap" followed by "make" and "make install".
If you get any errors type "sudo" in front of all the said commands. If that doesn't work, your best bet would be too login to the root account by typing "su" and the root password following that.
If you already have cmake installed you should either follow the steps cmake offers on their website or try the command "sudo yum remove cmake".

I have R 3.4.1.1 on my computer (Linux).
I want to install R version 2.14.1 since the package Rmosek does not work in newer version.
I have downloaded the R-2.14.2.tar.gz from Cran.
My problem is that I do not understand the INSTALL instructions,
It says to unpack the R sources and go to the top directory and issue the following commands:
./configure
make
I wrote the following in a terminal:
tar -zxvf R-2.14.2.tar.gz
cd Downloads
cd R-2.14.2
./configure
It is run but finally gives the error:
configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available
make
and it gives the error:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
The file explains that If my make is not called `make', set the environment variable MAKE to
its name, and use that name throughout these instructions. I really do not know how I should do it since I am new in Linux.
Is there any other instruction with more explanation? I would be very thankful in advance for your help or guidances.
Regards,
Shima.
This is answered in detail in the R installation and administration guide,
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Essential-programs-and-libraries
Unless you do not want to view graphs on-screen (or use a Mac) you
need ‘X11’ installed, including its headers and client libraries. For
recent Fedora distributions it means (at least) RPMs ‘libX11’,
‘libX11-devel’, ‘libXt’ and ‘libXt-devel’. On Debian we recommend the
meta-package ‘xorg-dev’. If you really do not want these you will need
to explicitly configure R without X11, using --with-x=no.
More specifically, for Ubuntu, this means:
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
and then proceed with compiling and installing R.
If you have to compile R in your system and install you should have libx11-dev package installed in Ubunut.Can you check whether this package is installed or not.
Otherwise you can configure the source with this option as a work around solution only in the case if you are not going to use any GUI functionality in R.
./configure --with-x=no
You need to install these libraries:
sudo apt-get install -y libx11-dev \
xorg-dev \
libcurl4-openssl-dev
Then run:
./configure
make
And then it should work.
Good luck!
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.
I am using HTK for quite some time now and it used to work flawlessly. Off late (might have changed some environmental variables in the meantime, cant remember which ones though!), all the HTK commands are "not to be found". Executing HCompV for example gave a
bash: /usr/local/bin/HCompV: No such file or directory
even though HCompV is visible in /usr/local/bin.
Recompiling and installing HTK was futile.
Running HCompV (or any other HTK commands) from the bin folder of the compiled HTK also gave the same error. Any ideas why?
try
hash -d HCompV
or
hash -r
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5609/how-do-i-clear-bashs-cache-of-paths-to-executables
what were the commands to recompile?
make clean
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
Solved!!
I had to reinstall the 32 bit libs on my 64 bit ubuntu though I had it installed previously. Any ideas why this helped?
These is what I did:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ia32-libs
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6-i386
This page has more details.
Thank you guys for your reply. You guys rock.
Ok, so I'm kind of a complete foreigner in the UNIX/LINUX land, but I need to install profbuf 2.4.1.
I was following the instructions by doing
wget http://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.4.1.tar.bz2
tar xfj protobuf-2.4.1.tar.bz2
pushd protobuf-2.4.1
./configure
make
sudo make install
I could only go as far as ./configure'. WHen I tried runningmake`, I got some error saying "No target specified and no makefile found... Stop"
Does anyone know what I might've done wrong?
Thanks!!!
You probably don't have a g++ compiler in your system or your environment variable doesn't contain the path of it. To install one on linux use the following:
yum install gcc-c++
I had met the same question before, and now I've known the reason. It's lack of corresponding library. If you are using redhat, use root permission to enter the two lines of commands:
# yum install glibc-headers
# yum install gcc-c++
If you are using ubuntu,you can enter this:
# sudo apt-get install build-essential
I've solved my question by that way. Wish you luck!
ok so I got a dedicated linux server and I'm trying to install node.js
i ran
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.11.tar.gz
tar zxf node-v0.4.11.tar.gz
cd node-v0.4.11
all is well
then i ran
./configure
and i got
Checking for program g++ or c++ : not found
Checking for program icpc : not found
Checking for program c++ : not found
wscript:232: error: could not configure a cxx compiler!
so i google that error if found a page that says run this
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev curl git-core
but then i get
-bash: sudo: command not found
please help me I don't know what to do now
If you are running some debian based distro, that code should work. Since you are running CentOS, you can follow this link. Different linux distros use different package managers. It looks like that debian is the most popular (ubuntu, mint, debian...) so many online tutorials you find use apt to get everything installed. Your choice is different and you should use rpm/yum. Since you are missing gcc compiler, you should try executing this command (you should probably add some more packages, not sure):
yum install sudo gcc-c++
EDIT: Updated link to serverfault.com
Actually the error output tells you exactly what's missing: sudo. Quick Googl'ing should reveal what this tools meaning is: It lets you execute commands with root privileges, provided you have access to a user account that's privileged enough to use this functionality.
So you need root privileges to install packages. This is not surprising. If sudo is not installed, you most probably either
are logged in as root, in which you can use apt-get without the sudo in front
are not logged in as root and thus don't have the necessary permissions to install packages. In that case, you are unlucky and you need to talk to the administrator.
UPDATE: From your comment to the other answer I take it that you are running with user privileges and do not have su in your PATH. Do you know the root password? If yes, you can try if /bin/su works. If no, you don't have enough privileges.
