Hello everyone,

I recently installed AntiX debian Linux on an old IBM thinkpad T42. I have been trying to install some software using tar files but I kept getting the error the the C compiler cannot create executables. Can anyone help me out. Here is an example of the error. I do not know if the config.log details will help but i will post them if it will help.

Need Help Installing NS 2.26 With RSVP-TE Patch

Hello,

i need to install NS2 version 2.26 with RSVP-TE patch to do some MPLS simulations.

I'm trying on fedora 8 and when compiling i am getting this error

I Try To Install Ns2.33 On Ubuntu 10.10 In Order To Run ZRP Protocol

Hello every one
please I need your help to fix my problem to install ns2.33allinone on the ubuntu 10.10 in order to run ZRP protocol for security purpose.
before this time I install every thing correctly as follow
The steps I follow to run the ZRP on the Ubuntu 10.10 and Ns2-allinone-2.33
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. first install the Ubuntu 10.10 on VMwear and download the ns2.33 and exract it in the home directory

2.Ubuntu 10.10 - 32´ is old. you have to replace the text in /etc/apt/sources.list , to be able to install packages.
So you write
$ gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
After the file open remove all the text and past the following text instead it.
#
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security multiverse universe
#

Then save the file and close.

3.Write the following command to update the system
$ sudo apt-get update

4.download the two files from the following link and save it in the home directory

gcc41-compat , `gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb' :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing
g++41-compat , `g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb' :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

5.write the following command to install
$ sudo dpkg -i g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb

6.write the following command to update the packages
$sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool make automake autoconf g++

7. Download the ZRP from the following link and put it in the ns-allinone-2.33 directory
The latest "patch package" is zrp-ns233-patching.tar.gz
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

8. After that you should follow the next steps
$ cd ns-allinone-2.33/
$ tar xvf zrp-ns233-patching.tar.gz
$ export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41
$ ./install
$ cd ns-2.33/
$ sudo make install

9. Then you can download the example of the ZRP from the following link and run
ZRP examples : zrp-examples-2012.tar.bz2
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

but now when i try to install it again i got this error
after i run "./install" command

Make[1]: O: Command Not Found

Hi.

Running Suse 10.1 on an x86_64 machine. Trying to install a program and having some difficulty. The program is codeco 3.3. It's a format conversion program used for converting seismic waveforms such that they can be analysed by different analysis packages.

http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/products/s...3/codeco3.html

My debugging skills aren't up to much and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with the error. The steps involved in the installation of the package a

1. Download, gunzip and untar.

2. make config
> jp@linux:/usr/local/codeco> make config
(cd src; ./conf.csh)
found system Linux
found compiler

...this is ok, but

3. make
>jp@linux:/usr/local/codeco> make
(cd src; make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/codeco/src'
o ../bin/codeco codecomain.f gse_io.f codecoutil.f compdecomp.f sacsub.f sac_io.f mseed_io.f css_io. today.f utmepo.f epoutm.f
make[1]: o: Command not found
make[1]: [codeco] Error 127 (ignored)
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/codeco/src'

The src code itself is written in fortran and I'm using the Intel fortran compiler version 9.0.031.

I'm at a loss as to the meaning of the above error...my knowledge of linux and software installation still not very good!

Thanks

Getting An Error When Running Make.

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,

Checking Presence Of A File Identified/ Addressed By A Variable

hi,

I am newbie in Linux shell scripting.Can anybody help me to check the presence of file identified by variable in Shell scripting?

For example: I am reading the content of a file using while command as below:
"while read -r line
do
code block
done < file_name"

Now in this case every line in file gets stored in the variable 'line' one by one.Problem here is every line in the file is nothing but the file_path of another file say xyz.txt and I am checking presence of this xyz.txt file using below command:
if [-f $line]
as 'line' is the variable which stores file path of xyz.txt but it is not working. It is unable to check the presence of this xyz.txt file as i am addressing it with the variable 'line'.

Please help me.Thanks in advance.
