Kernel Compilation Error : In "make Modules_install"

Hi, I've just recently installed MySQL connector/c from source code on my Slackware 14.1 x64

I read the official instructions of the connector but I felt a bit disorientated when I read:
Code:

1 -Change location to the top-level directory of the source distribution.

I interpreted that I have to go to the "highest" directory Code:

/

So I wrote: Code:

 
        #                            cd /

root@- /#                            tar xzvf /home/normal/Downloads/mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src.tar.gz 

root@- /#                            cd /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src/

root@- /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src# cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"

root@- /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src# make 

root@- /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src# make install

Then I did:
Code:

ln -s /usr/local/mysql-5.6.25/include /usr/include

But when I try to compile a program in c with #include <mysql.h> i get this error:
Code:

# gcc ctemp.c 
In file included from ctemp.c:2:0:
/usr/include/mysql.h:57:27: fatal error: mysql_version.h: No such file or directory
 #include "mysql_version.h"
                           ^

What can I do? Thanks a lot and sorry for poor english

PD: If you need the official instructions I paste here the link: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-...on-source.html

Trying to install software/drivers for wireless dongle on my Fedora Linux box. I have downloaded and expanded my files into my /home/me/Downloads.

In my example: /home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3
This is where the make file is.

I run make and get an error:
"make -C /lib/modules/3.4.2-1.fc16.i686/build SUBDIRS=/home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3/os/linux modules
make: *** /lib/modules/3.4.2-1.fc16.i686/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [LINUX] Error 2"

The directory "/home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3/os/linux" does exist.

What am I missing? I have run it as myself and root and get the same error.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Skip

What I did in windows was create images of my drive and restore them.

in linux I am running

Code:

rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/home/*","/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* /path/to/backup/folder

and this creates a folder for me with all my files, and apparently saves meta data like permissions and paths...

Since I'm using arch and things break sometimes,I'm booted into a CLI with errors and cannot figure my way out since I'm a noob... would I be able to just delete my entire root and replace it with the rsync backup without a problem?

The above link is where I downloaded *.cpp(s) and the libraries.

If you "untar" the package, in "examples" directory, there are some demonstration files. What I wanted to do was to make an executable file out of "wavedemo1.cpp".

I modified the code in "wavedemo1.cpp"; Code:

#include "wavelet2d.h"

to Code:

#include "wavelet2s.h"

, then placed the header file "wavelet2s.h" (from /wavelib/src/linuxstatic) and the modified "wavedemo1.cpp" into my working directory.

Inside the working directory, I ran the following command

Code:

gcc -L/home/mario/wavelet/wavelib/linuxstatic -lwavelet2s wavedemo1.cpp -o wavedemo1

Then I get the following error messages.

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/mario/wavelet/wavelib/linuxstatic/libwavelet2s.a when searching for -lwavelet2s
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwavelet2s
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm not sure what went wrong with my approach. This is my first time trying to use libraries on linux and it's giving me really tough times.

I would appreciate your help, please let me know if you need more details to explain things.

Thanks.

Hi Guys,
i have this Code:

uid=0(root) gid=0(root)

i would like to have the word "root" only from the first field, and later from the second field

i use the command
Code:

[root@v1-6 ~]# cat test-uid |cut -d"(" -f1
brms2
uid=0

[root@v1-6 ~]# cat test-uid |cut -d")" -f1
brms2
uid=0(root

it cut the word after the -d, how can i make it to cut the word BEFORE the -d

expected should be:
cut -d"(" -f1
root)

then i can proceed to eliminate the ) later on.
hope this is not confusing you guys

Thanks,

hi,

Because i am cross compiling busybox for an arm board and can't install directy busybox on it (it don't have apt-get/sudo/make) i tried to compile busybox with arm-linux-gcc and "make" it in a custom directory with /usr/ /bin/ sbin/ this way i could copy paste the folder and the exe in a clean root and transfert this root to my board.

Sadly i don't seems to be able to change the installation patch.
i tried with :
Code:

make install PREFIX=/home/blabla1/blabla2/blabla3

but when going into the blabla3 folder i find no file (/usr/ /bin/ and /sbin/ are present because i created them myself).

./configure can't be used because the file don't exist.

Any idea on how i could change the installation patch ?

Hello there,
First of all thank you for making me a part of this forum.
Secondly, here is the problem..
I am facing this problem in honeyd installation during "make"

I found a similar thread in this forum as well to solve the above problem by using "apt-get install honeyd" but didnt quite worked for me.

root@kali:~/Desktop/Narayan/honeyd-1.5c# apt-get install honeyd
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package honeyd


I tried researching but couldnt find any solutions. Moreover, I am really a newbie at Kali Linux and other debians as well.
I would appreciate if somone could help me.
Thank you.
