I'm trying to use Octave instead of MATLAB in order to run the Motion tracking software found here :
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~wauthier/tracker/
To run octave I am using Cygwin. I've run into the issue that the GraphicsMagick configuration that comes with Cygwin is set to: --with-quantum-depth=16 when I need: --with-quantum-depth=32. I have installed and configured the same version of GraphicsMagick elsewhere on my computer. My question is how can I configure the pre-existing GraphicsMagick so that I may handle the larger images I need or how can I configure octave inside Cygwin to use the other install of GraphicsMagick.
While Searching I came upon this:
http://jethomson.wordpress.com/2010/08/22/enable-octave-to-read-16-bit-images/
I am hesitant to use this as it uses Debian and I am unsure how to modify it in order to work in Cygwin.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently running emacs on Gentoo linux. My intention was to use all-the-icons ivy (I also downloaded all-the-icons-ivy). Unfortunately, all the icons come out confusing.
I have already run all-the-icons-install-fonts, per the wiki instructions. Does anyone know what is happening?
You may lack the fonts for all-the-icons.
The all-the-icons documentation recommends installing the fonts by running this command in Emacs:
M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts.
Alternatively, you can try installing the fonts using the package manager for your OS. For Gentoo, there's a package for all-the-icons here.
I ran into a similar issue on an Arch based distro, and was able to resolve it by installing all-the-iconts. For those using Arch based distros, the package can be found here.
I'm trying to install Octave in my work computer but I can't make it. I want use Cygwin to install a package called octave-3.8.2-1 but I can't find it. Any clue why it does not appear where it is supposed to be.
If you want to use Cygwin it's in the "math" section. Are you really stuck to cygwin? If not I would suggest the inofficial installer from http://mxeoctave.osuv.de/
I have never used Linux OS. Want to know how we can start compiling Apache,Mysql and php in Linux and is it necessary to configure it.
I tried doing it by using cd/user/scr/httpd_2.0.09
Do we need to downloads the set up from google
Do yourself a favour and don't try to compile your own webserver etc. ;)
Aside from the fact that it's a lot of work to set up the tools for compiling, resolve dependencies, and debug possible errors, you will have to do the same procedure with every tiny update – instead of simply getting a new version via your package manager.
If you use a common distribution, install the packages required for the so-called LAMP stack, and configure them properly. That will be hard enough for starters.
If you're using Ubuntu, have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
Actually installing binaries from repositories is less painful than compiling, but if you really want so, you may install Gentoo or other source-based distributive. I've simply described compilation of MySQL 5.5 in my blog.
To compile packages on Debian based systems you need to install build-essential and cmake package (and maybe some other *-dev packages, which appears to be missing during source configure).
For example to compile MySQL 5.5 it is enough to run:
cmake . #yep, with dot. Will prepare your source according to your system
make
make install #will install compiled binaries to system
I need to get node.js for a program I'm installing in Cygwin, and I'm wondering if the Linux download at nodejs.org is going to work, or does something like this for Cygwin need to be built from source? I tried downloading the linux tarball and incorporating into the installation script for Oppia (the program I'm installing) and it doesn't work, but I don't know enough about this to know what's wrong.
I suppose node.js on cygwin is not really supported. I worked with node.js under cygwin, installed with Windows installer. There are some problems, especially when there are dependencies on paths (/cygdrive/c/...). I haven't tried to build from source, but asked the guys on the node.js google group a similar question, but they just said: not supported.
So probably it's better to write those unbelievable ugly .bat/.cmd scripts and use the DOS shell commands when working with Windows (which I hate so much). I tried to use PowerShell, but it was no improvement, it's odd compared to bash.
I am comparatively new to Linux. I am running Fedora 64 bit at my PC. I am having difficulty setting up ddd with bashdb. I am able to install it using yum but when I run it for bashdb, the software environment for ddd comes up but it keeps on working for infinite time, unless I manually kill it.
I used google to know what the problem is and came to know many people are having same problem, when using linux's package installers. It has bugs so I have to compile the latest source and install it manually. So I downloaded the source and tried to ./configure, it produced the following error and exited:
configure: error: Cannot find termcap compatible library
I searched again and found out I need termcap library at my PC, here:

I used yum to install ncurses but found out it is already installed. Used locate to find the path of ncurses and passed it to configure using following commands:
sudo ./configure --with-termlib-libraries=/lib/libncurses.so.5
sudo ./configure --with-termlib-libraries=/lib/libncurses.so.5.9
Still, I am having the same error.
It is very frustrating because I have tried almost everything I found on internet. May be, there is a minor point that I am overlooking due to my inexperience. My main concern is to be able to debug complex bash scripts that I am going to develop in near future. I am not very comfortable with command line debugging i.e. without an interface. Any tips/advice that, can get me going with debugging with some other application may be, are also welcomed
I installed the ncurses development package to get past this problem:
sudo yum install ncurses-devel*
