I tried to install bluegriffon. Didn't work with apt-get install (error: unable to locate package bluegriffon).
I installed compiler (with apt-get install build-essential)
then I unpacked the "bluegriffon-1.7.2.Ubuntu13.04.x86_64.tar.bz2" that I downloaded from their website
then I changed to bluegriffon folder with the unpacked files and I tried to compile the package but the "./configure command" did not work (error : -su: ./configu No such file or directory)
What should I do now?

Trying to install traceroute on Ubuntu 14.04.2. I get:
apt-get install traceroute
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package traceroute is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'traceroute' has no installation candidate

hi guys,

sick of typing sudo yum install package

so i wrote...or rather am trying to right a simple script to do this
with a simple command:

heres what i have:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter package name to install..."
read $P
sudo yum install $P

it doesnt seem to want to take the variable...it just runs
sudo yum install ...$p is ignored...i also tried "$p" but this
doesnt work either...what is the correct syntax to get a command to read a variable...is this possible...aaaaaaah it must be.

Ubuntu 14.10 runs great on my laptop but I think I have dependency problems because EVERY time I install or remove software I get the following error message. However everything seems to run just fine...

"Package operation failed"
"The installation or removal of a software package failed."

...and details shows a massive list of gobbledygook with a lot of:

"insserv: Starting vpnagentd_init depends on rc.local and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!"

I can post the whole message but I'll wait for feedback first.

So I extract an update to a package that creates one of the folders below and then I run "$(find . -name install.sh)" to find and install the update. It seems to go just fine. How? If the other versions were also there? Which install.sh gets run?

# find -name install.sh
./Program_5.1.8341.5506_Install/install.sh
./Program_5.0.8132.5459_Install/install.sh
./Program_5.2.8724.5567_Install/install.sh
./Program_5.1.8473.5522_Install/install.sh

Hello,

I need to install perl-Expect, so, I executed:

Code:

#  yum install -y perl-Expect
Error: Package: perl-Expect-1.21-14.el7.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(IO::Pty) >= 1.03
Error: Package: perl-Expect-1.21-14.el7.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(IO::Tty)

Okay, I need to install perl(IO::Pty)

I launched
Code:

# yum install -y "perl(IO::Pty)"
No package perl(IO::Pty) available.
Error: Nothing to do

So, how to install all required perl modules to the RHEL?

Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package.
