I'm getting error while trying to install sqlite3-ruby gem:
gem install sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1.gem
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1.gem:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb
Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1/ext/sqlite3/gem_make.out
Same using:
gem install sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1
And that worked:
gem install sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1-x86-mswin32-60.gem
However I discovered I had had installed sqlite-ruby-1.2.5
Well my question is how 'gem' is installing these things? Why it can't choose sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1-x86-mswin32-60.gem version automatically. Does 'gem' is aware of running on linux or windows? What is native extension for it and why it is failing to install predownloaded sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1.gem
Thanks in advance
Lots of people seem to be having this issue. I'm surprised this doesn't work out of the box, as I would have guessed cygwin+ruby+sqlite is a supercommon configuration. Anyway. Many people concentrate on sqlite3.h, which is what appears are missing in the error output. However, my problem was that gcc wasn't installed correctly. Apparently gcc can fail to install correctly under cygwin. I fixed that and it was fine. Also, make sure you install libsql3-devel in cygwin.
I've been down this road before. I failed installing Ruby in Windows to work with Cygwin and I failed on Ubuntu.
What you do to save yourself the time and trouble is get a VM running with a Linux image (Fedora seemed to work well) and work with Ruby in that.

I need to run a program which use VTK5 on my Archlinux PC, but I found it really hard to install VTK5, there is only VTK6(not compatible with VTK5) in official repo, and when I try to install it from AUR, it returns "Makepg was unable to build vtk5", then I try to install through source code, the result is that I was unable to install the VTK Python module...
Is there anybody who has any experience or idea about it?
I have not installed on Archlinux specifically, but on different linux machines. If you compile from source and are interested in python, remember to select the option python wrapping when running cmake. Btw, once built, you will have to update both the pythonpath and the ldlibrarypath.
You can also have a try at enthought canopy, which distributes a complete installation with numpy, scipy, vtk http://docs.enthought.com/canopy/quick-start/install_linux.html
I'm trying to compile a Go app for linux/arm and keep running into problems on my Ubuntu machine. When I run GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm go build in my source directory, I get tons of erorrs that are variations of:
# github.com/huin/mqtt
gccgo: error: unrecognized command line option `-marm`
Running gccgo --help informs me that options starting with -g, -f -m (and others) will be passed on to any sub-processes started by gccgo, so I don't know which process it's sending -marm to.
Any clues? Ubuntu 14.10 LTS, 64bit
So thanks to a clue by Dean, I've worked out the issue and solved it.
The issue was caused by me installing Go via apt-get, then removing it (via apt-get), then installing Go from the golang website. There were still files left over from the first install, which were probably older versions and therefore didn't have support for the -marm flag.
I was going to wipe my dev machine anyway, so I did, installed Ubuntu again, installed Go from the website (not via apt-get) and everything worked first time. If you don't want to wipe your machine, then just make sure to look around to see if there are version conflicts.
I've been stung by this sort of thing before (when installing node.js via apt-get, realising it was many versions out of date, then removing, and installing node.js via source), so if anyone is reading this, be careful when installing software via apt-get, then upgrading, as you might have similar version issues like I did!
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*
As suggested by Google, I'm trying to get http://jpegclub.org/jpegtran/ working on my Ubuntu server, but I'm getting the error:
"jpegtran: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
A Google search told me to install (via apt-get) libjpeg-turbo8, however apt-get can't find the package. My own Ubuntu computer (running 12.0.10) can find the package just fine.
I tried installing http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/ with no luck.
Am I doing something wrong or have I missed something? How do I get jpegtran working?
This question may be old, but i was trying to run the glassfish updatetool and it failed because of the lack of the libjpeg library.
Steps i did take:
1. install libjpeg62:i386 (for 64 bit ubuntu amd6)
I hope it helps someone
This might be more of a CYGWIN question than a Nodejs but here goes.
I installed Cygwin yesterday and on the packages selection I just clicked next as it looked like most were pre-selected, and then today read this guide http://boxysystems.com/index.php/step-by-step-instructions-to-install-nodejs-on-windows/ on installing nodejs.
The ./configure had an error that it was unable to remap python lib-dynload/itertools.dll to same address as parent. As the process still completed I tried the make command, but it fails on the same error.
So, I opened cygwin setup.exe and this time I clicked the source checkbox for all the Python packages. But still get the same error. Should I now go to Cygwin and check all the source packages for the Make packages, delete it and reinstall from scratch using the above guide. Or something else?
Any help gratefull received/
Use the official 0.5.x windows build from http://nodejs.org/#download - you just have to download a .exe file and you can start it.
Versions 0.5.X have problems with Cygwin and because of developing clean Windows version Cygwin environment is now unsupported. Stable version 0.4.12 builds on Cygwin with no problems. If you want to use node.js unstable 0.5.X branch on Windows use windows build at official node.js site.
check this out:
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-(Windows)
Update Sept 1, 2011 -- as of today, v0.5.5 does not build on Cygwin (errors on make). Use v.0.5.4 (ie. follow instructions below and use "git checkout v0.5.4".
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/API-changes-between-v0.4-and-v0.6
Cygwin build is no longer supported. Use native windows builds instead.
