How to install valgrind properly? - linux

I'm installing valgrind now, until the ‘make install’ command it goes good.
The next command- ‘make regtest’ outputs the next error:
../../depcomp: line 689: exec: g++: not found
make[5]: *** [leak_cpp_interior.o] Error 127
make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/kbubuntu/valgrind-3.9.0/memcheck/tests'
make[4]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/kbubuntu/valgrind-3.9.0/memcheck/tests'

make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kbubuntu/valgrind-3.9.0'
make: *** [check] Error 2
How can I solve it?
Thanks.

Short answer: Make from source.
How?
Uninstall the non working valgrind version with root rights (eg. sudo):
apt-get --purge valgrind
or
dpkg --remove valgrind
or
yum remove valgrind
Obtain sources from here.
Identify the latest version (for example 3.17.0)
Download sources : wget https://sourceware.org/pub/valgrind/valgrind-3.17.0.tar.bz2
Decompress archive tar xvf valgrind-3.17.0.tar.bz2
Go to uncompressed archive cd valgrind-3.17.0
Configure ./configure
Compile make
Install make install (with root rights, eg. sudo)
Note: very useful for Raspberry Pi 4 users - Default valgrind installation generate a lot of internal errors. See Valgrind reports hundreds of errors in Hello World program on RaspberryPi 4B

All major linux distributions will include valgrind in their repositories. You can find this on debian derived, apt based systems with:
apt search valgrind
But first just try:
apt install valgrind
It should work, and pull in any dependencies. Remember, if you are not the superuser, you'll need to preface those with sudo.
It's a great tool, have fun.

i think its due to dependency not met.
install g++
by
sudo apt-get install g++
then try again.
error is due to exec is unable to find any package named g++

When trying to install Valgrind in Ubuntu 20.04, you can use apt or snap (notice the version number):
:~/valgrind-3.18.1$ valgrind
Command 'valgrind' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install valgrind # version 3.18.1, or sudo apt install
valgrind # version 1:3.15.0-1ubuntu9.1
Although snap provides the latest version, I preferred to install it natively by compiling the source code following the #g10guang instructions.

Cannot make kernel .config

I'm setting up RTLinux on a Siemens machine. I cannot seem to generate the config file for the kernel.
I have been following this guide: Install RT Linux patch for Ubuntu and I get stuck at Step 4
I started by installing ubuntu 16.10. Then I installed the linux kernel (linux-5.2.19.tar.gz) and also the RTLinux patch (patch-5.2.19-rt10.patch.gz). I created a working irectory ~/kernel. I unzipped the kernel into this directory and successfully patched the kernel.
I now need to install ncurses:
sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev libssl-dev
When I do this I get a bunch of 404 errors like it cannot reach the archives.
Because of this I went and installed ncurses manually. I went to https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-6.1.tar.gz, downloaded the tar and performed the following steps.
cd ncurses-6.1
./configure --prefix=/opt/ncurses
make
sudo make install
ls -la /opt/ncurses
The final line verified the install was correct.
Now I navigate back to my ~/kernel/linux-5.2.19 directory and perform a make menuconfig
and receive the following errors:
*
* Unable to find the ncurses package.
* Install ncurses (ncurses-devel or libncurses-dev
* depending on your distribution).
*
scripts/kconfig/Makefile:206: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/mconf-cfg' failed
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/mconf-cfg] Error 1
Makefile:559: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
I appreciate any responses/advice.

Can't install HTK on linux

I wan't to use ALIZE for speaker recognition and after the instalation there is one of the steps: feature extraction using SPRO or HTK So I downloaded zip file of HTK and using terminal I configured everything, but when entering make all I'm getting this error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:56: recipe for target 'HSLab' failed
make[1]: *** [HSLab] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/username/Downloads/htk/HTKTools'
Makefile:108: recipe for target 'htktools' failed
make: *** [htktools] Error 1
what does it mean and how to fix this? I'm looking for answer for hours and can't find anything...
I'm using HTK 3.4.1 stable version and LInux ubuntu 16.10
The error cannot find -lX11 means that ld can't find the libraries for X11 (the X.Org display server). The required libraries can be found in the libx11-dev package which can be installed with:
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
This should resolve your issue, as long as the libraries install in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (which is likely if apt-get handles it).
On 64-bit systems, you might need to explicitly state the 32-bit version is required:
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386

How to install Petite Chez Scheme on Ubuntu?

How to install Petite Chez Scheme on Ubuntu?
I run Ubuntu 15.10 and try to install pcsv8.4-a6le.tar.gz (non-threaded, 64 bit) for Linux.
After having unpacked this tar in /usr/locale, I enter the commands
sudo ./configure
sudo make install
from within the custom directory.
However, instead of a clean install, I get the following errors (which I hope someone can help me out with):

On recent versions of Ubuntu (and future versions of Debian e.g. "Buster", and other Debian based distros), you can install Chez Scheme directly from the repo(s) by:
sudo apt install chezscheme
Previously you had to install it by compiling from source. Chez Scheme has been open source, for a few years now, and can be compiled from source, if it is not directly installable from the distribution's repo(s). Just download the source code compile and install. This will install not just the "petite" runtime version but also the full compiler. You can compile and install the software with:
./configure
sudo make install
Full build and install instructions are available here.
Pre-requisites for building are:
GNU Make
GCC
Header files and libraries for ncurses
Header files and libraries for X windows
On Ubuntu, install the libncurses5-dev package to get libncurses.so. (You can discover this by visiting http://packages.debian.org/file:libncurses.so (sadly, this doesn't seem to work for http://packages.ubuntu.com/file:libncurses.so).)
You may find other linkage errors if Chez requires other libraries to have development packages installed too. Use the same technique as above.
Go directly building from their Github.
ChezScheme
And then just do
./configure
sudo make install
Prerequisites according to Building are:
GNU Make
gcc
Header files and libraries for ncurses
Header files and libraries for X windows
And yes in case On Ubuntu, install the libncurses5-dev as Chris stated. Did just that and have no errors shown in clean install.
Chez Scheme has been open sourced since this question was asked. Since Bionic (18.04LTS) the full chezscheme is available as a repository.
First do
sudo apt update
then install the package:
sudo apt install chezscheme
This provides both the petite interpreter and the full scheme compiler.
There is also a PPA for trusty and xenial here:
https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/lisp?field.series_filter=
Download the RPM package instead and use alien from terminal to produce a deb file:
fakeroot alien PetiteChezScheme-8.4-1.x86_64.rpm
You may need to install fakeroot, alien for this to work:
apt-get install fakeroot alien
Then you'll have a deb file. If you are on a desktop you can just double click the file and it will open Software Center and you can click install and it will fix your dependency problems.

Redis - linux / Error when Installing redis on linux: `cc: command not found`

I wish to install redis on my red-hat environment. I do the following:
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make
I got the next error:
make[3]: *** [net.o] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/redis-stable/deps/hiredis'
make[2]: *** [hiredis] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/redis-stable/deps'
make[1]: [persist-settings] Error 2 (ignored)
CC adlist.o
/bin/sh: cc: command not found
make[1]: *** [adlist.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/redis-stable/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2
How can I fix it?
You are trying to install redis from source code. What this process do is to compile and create executable on your machine and then install it. For doing this you need various tools like gcc etc. Best way is to install all of them together by installing that group. Run this from terminal
yum grouplist
This will show all groups available and then choose group you want to install or run directly
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
This will save you from other problems which might come in future while installing from source.
for those of you who encounter this error
check this github issue
before make run this command
$ cd deps; make hiredis lua jemalloc linenoise
Install build essential first
sudo apt-get install build-essential
then install the dependencies
cd deps
make hiredis lua jemalloc linenoise
If you're not an advanced user maybe it is not a good idea to install REDIS from the source.
Instead you should install a packaged version. For example on Fedora / Centos / RHEL:
sudo yum install redis
Come out from your extracted folder/Dir and remove the extracted redis-x.x.x folder with rm -rf redis-x.x.x
now again extract the redis folder with tar xzf redis-x.x.x.tar.gz
go to redis directory again and run the make or make test again. it works for me.

Can't make menuconfig

I use Debian 7.4 Wheezy. I trying to upgrade my kernel, but when I type "make menuconfig" it says:
*** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
*** required header files.
*** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
***
*** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
***
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
I trying to install "libncurses5-dev", but I get the error:
E: Unable to locate package libncurses5-dev
P.S.
I downloaded and installed the packages manually and now everything is okay!
Thanks a lot!!
You should have run (as root)
aptitude update
aptitude search libncurses
that would suggest you the right package name.
Then try
aptitude install libncurses-dev
and
aptitude install kernel-package
aptitude build-dep linux-image linux-image-amd64
At last, use make-kpkg --initrd binary to compile your kernel. (it will produce *.deb files in the parent directory). You want to configure /etc/kernel-pkg.conf and perhaps /etc/kernel-img.conf
I had the same problem. In my case installation of package libncursesw5-dev solved the issue.
make menuconfig needs ncurses libraries try following command to install ncurses library
sudo apt-get install libncurses5
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
make menuconfig
worked for me after i installed all the libaries, and added myself sudo permission, i was also using this to cross_compile stuff
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
%b37399 ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
For Fedora(Red Hat);
$ make menuconfig
#error encountered :
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:210: scripts/kconfig/mconf-cfg] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:588: menuconfig] Error 2
#resolution :
$ sudo yum install libncurses-dev
Thanks
Depending on the project the menuconfig could be made with the kconfiglib library:
https://pypi.org/project/kconfiglib/
For these projects it's required to:
Install Python (I tested it with Python2.7, but I think newer Pythons are just fine)
Install pip (if it's not done with Python)
And then the pip install kconfiglib
And for some projects, this will fix the error instead of the libcurses package.
Just as example here is one kconfiglib based project which prints the same error, but will not be fixed with libcurse:
https://github.com/polarfire-soc/hart-software-services
