I have tried to install ceedling for Windows 11. But come across this error:
Failed to load C:/ProgramData/gemrc, (<unknown>): control characters are not allowed at line 1 column 1
I installed Ruby 3.1.3.1 (x64) from here https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
Then I ran:
gem install ceedling
Any ideas on how to install ceedling correctly would be appreciated.
That error is telling you that the file C:\ProgramData\gemrc has invalid data in it at line 1, column 1. You have most likely edited this file improperly when installing Ruby because this is a default file with a default configuration that should have been created when you installed Ruby.
You should try these steps in order:
Inspect the file to see what invalid characters exist at that position, comparing it to some default gemrc files, and remove any invalid characters, or:
Rename the file and try again, or:
Remove the file and reinstall Ruby from scratch so that the file is created from scratch

Context: I am working with python codes developed by different teams and each teams provides their corresponding requirements file. Trying to install the requirements via pip (pip install -r requirements.txt) is resulting in error of the following type:
ERROR: Invalid requirement: 'python-scipy = 0.18.1-2~pn1' (from line 13 of dependencies.txt)
Hint: = is not a valid operator. Did you mean == ?
and according to this post a possible reason is that the requirements file I have are conda generated. When trying to install the requirements using conda (conda install --file requirements.txt) the following error appears:
InvalidVersionSpec: Invalid version '0.18.1-2~pn1': invalid character(s)
I don't know what is the standard procedure to determine how a requirements file was generated in order to determine how it should be installed.
Questions:
Given a requirements file, what is the standard procedure to use in order to determine how it was generated?
Do the the characters like "~" - appearing at the end of requirements - offer any hint about how the file was generated?
What else can I try to use in order to install the requirement file with requirements that contain such invalid characters for conda?
I'm unable to install the Alien::XGBoost library using the default installation of Strawberry Perl on Windows 10. I'm using the 64-bit version of Strawberry Perl.

The author of the library just confirmed it was a bug. His statement is below. I installed the previous version and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for reporting this!!
It's a bug! I forgot to quote the path.
As you can see both md commands have the path double quoted (""), but not the copy command.
I'm working to fix it and also I'm going to get travis and appveyor integrations to avoid this in the future.
This weekend this will be fixed. Meanwhile please install the previous version:

I am currently trying - unsuccessfully to install perl PDL as I would like to automate some of my data analysis and graphics generation.
Unfortunately I seem unable to even install the necessary modules without issue, let alone create a small script to deal with my data files.
I have some rudementary experience with Perl but Nothing fancy and am using Windows 10 x64.
Initially I went for the x64 strawberry perl v5.24 installation, followed by ppm installations of Astro::FITS::Header, Convert::UU, OpenGL and PDL - as instructed here http://pdl.perl.org/?page=install. However, there were issues with the installation of Inline::C and after trying the example listed on page 5 of the PDL_Book_Latest http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdl/files/PDL/2.4.10/PDL-Book-20120205.pdf/download there wasn't any image appearing, nor image file in any location I could think to search. Back to Google and still no luck finding any information on the source of this issue so I decided to go back to square one and use an older version in the hopes that it would be more well documented.
So, uninstallation of strawberry perl through Windows installed programs dialog, deletion of strawberry folder and registry entries containing "strawberry". Then a new installation of perl, with the Padre IDE, v5.14 - maybe some debugging fonctionality will help pinpoint the errors. Started installing the same modules (Astro::FITS::Header, Convert::UU, OpenGL, PGPLOT). Astro and Convert worked fine, but the OpenGL started throwing errors about ExtUtils::F77 which I am apparently missing after a few more hours searching. I go to install this module and it keeps giving errors about 'gfortan' being an unknown command... It was my understanding that the idea of PDL was to avoid fortran and C, and I have found next to no information about this installation problem so far.
So i decided to try an alternative approach. I installed the ppm module from cpan and repeated the initial installation process through the ppm command. This time i get:
"Unknown element 'PROVIDE' found inside SOFTPKG. at C:/Dwimperl/perl/site/lib/PPM.pm line 1462."
So my question is as follows:
Am I missing some critical step in the installation process? Is my system just handing this really badly, and if so is there any sort of possible work around? Is the fact that I tried two different versions liable to create path issues that could be at the root of this problem?
Could anyone provide an alternative and preferably not too complex route to install PDL with a given perl installation on Windows 10?
EDIT 1:
Here is the code for the error I got trying to install Inline::C, an apparent pre-requisite for PDL
code deleted to make space for updates...
EDIT 3:
I reinstalled GnuWin32 in the directory specified by PATH, rather that changing PATH, and the tried the installation again. Inline::C gave the same 'diff' and 'rm' errors. So i ran "cpanm --notest 'package'" to install Inline::C and then PDL, both said they were successful. However, even using '--notest' cpanm could not install OpenGL and PGPLOT.
The final objectif is to be able to produce graphics using the fonctions from PGPLOT: for example
# use PDL;
# use PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT;
# imag(sin(rvals(200,200)+1));
yet this doesn't work of course if PGPLOT can't install.
EDIT 4:
Tried the fix found by #Dr.Avalange at sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/p/pogl/bugs/26/ and noticed that I seem to have multiple copies of this file.
Here
Is this normal...?
EDIT 5:
So i uninstalled perl, deleted any lingering files I could find in %APPDATA%, %USERPROFILE% and C:/DWIM, and then ran ccleaner just in case I missed anything.
I then downloaded Strawberry perl 5.24.1 x64 for Windows and installed it.
After this, I ran 'cpanm Astro::FITS::Header', cpanm 'Convert-UU' and 'cpanm OpenGL' as per http://pdl.perl.org/?page=install. This all worked fine. Then I ran 'cpanm PDL' which installed Inline, Pegex, Win32::Mutex and Module::Compile dependencies. However, if had the same error with Inline::C that you mentioned previously.
I already had GetGnuWin32 installed before so not sure why this isn't working. The Windows 'Path' environment (not PATH - this doesn't exist according to the advaced system dialogue) is noted as
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;
In this directory I have the folder GetGnuWin32 which should have installed all the packages from the link you provided, unless there is a supplementary step that I missed to install this correctly? So I redownloaded the DiffUtils setup and ran that, installing to \programfiles(x86) (default option). I then reran 'cpanm PDL'.
I still get the same 'diff' error message. So is DiffUtils, not installing properly? (I did close and re-open the commandline between tries and after the installation)
EDIT 6:
So after installing PDL and PGPLOT with --notest I tried to run the following test and it failed. See below

There was already a directory problem but I managed to point it in th right direction I had thought.

So retrying ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/PGPLOT.ppd seemed to work this time as the links int he explanation you provided are no longer in use

After translating from French I can see that you don't have diff in your system. Either install diff (part of gnu32: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/) or just skip the tests. See also:
https://github.com/ingydotnet/inline-c-pm/issues/60
With Strawberry 5.24.1 simply type the following from the command prompt:
cpanm --notest PDL
or if you want to watch everything that's going on:
cpanm -v --notest PDL
This will take some time to run.
When I try to install Cocos2d-iphone 3.0.0 RC4, I got an error: (run without sudo)

So, I try to show its package content and use terminal to do: cd ...Cocos2D Installer 3.0.0.app/Contents/MacOS
I try this command: (with sudo)
sudo ./Cocos2D\ Installer\ 3.0.0
It works but I got log with some errors:

Are there any way is better than this way?
I have same problem.
I think you installed old cocos2d-iphone and it caused this problem.
You should remove old cocos2d-iphone first. I removed:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/cocos2d v3.x
And install again. It works for me.
Hope it works for you :)

After days of googling I've found an answer. Here is it. How to solve:
With admin permission (start cmd with admin privileges):
Run the go-pear.bat that comes with the default PHP installation. It'll installs PEAR, but it's going to generate an error when installing Structures_Graph. IMO Pear needs this package to generate the package dependency (graph), since it's missing it not allow us to install or upgrade any other package.
Download and uncompress Structures_Graph from the pear.php.net website (direct link). Then copy the Structure folder into the PEAR folder. The archive has three folders: docs, Structures, tests. We only need the Structures one. Copy the Structures folder to your PHP_ROOT_DIRECTORY\PEAR directory. So if you installed PHP on C:\Web\php-5.3.5 copy the Structures folder to C:\Web\php-5.3.5\PEAR\, the result should be: C:\Web\php-5.3.5\PEAR\Structures
Do pear install Structures_Graph. Even though the files are present, Structures_Graph is not really installed (we had a problem during installation). So we need to run the command above.
Do pear upgrade PEAR. This upgrades PEAR itself to the current version.
Do pear upgrade Console_Getopt. This upgrades Console_Getopt to the current version and now we can manage and install any pear package.
Marcos Roriz solution does indeed work, but to clarify point 2:
The uncompressed "Structures" folder (inside the tgz) needs to be placed inside the folder: "PEAR\pear" -> e.g. C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5\PEAR\pear
This is a combination of the things you need to do and a couple of new tweaks. Worked on WinXP Pro with WAMP (Wampserver 2.2.1)
Change your go-pear.bat file:
#ECHO OFF
set PHP_BIN=php.exe
%PHP_BIN% -d output_buffering=0 -d phar.require_hash=0 PEAR\go-pear.phar
pause
Run it - go-pear.bat
Now you've go a Pear install with a missing graph.php
Download and uncompress Structures_Graph from the pear.php.net website. Copy the Structure folder into the PEAR folder so that the key files are located as such:
PEAR\Structures\Graph.php
PEAR\Structures\Graph\Node.php
Change this line in Node.php:
require_once '/Structures/Graph.php';
Execute in the PEAR directory:
pear upgrade=all
That did it for me.
First of all, run as administrator.
Then - try to write something in target directory in the console to isolate any remaining permissions problems.
I've been having many issues after upgrading my wampserver which now comes with php 5.3.5.
I have solved the problem by installing php 5.3.0 alongside and using it to run the installer found at http://pear.php.net/go-pear. I set the php cli setting to the php5.3.5 folder without any issues.
This might be wampserver specific. To gauge if you are experiencing a similar problem here are some of the issues I encountered:
Using the go-pear.bat packaged with php5.3.5 i had the same unable to unpack error as the original poster.
Using the go-pear.bat packaged with php5.3.0 i was able to complete the installation but the pear installer was v1.8.0
Using the installer on the pear site mentioned previously with php5.3.5 i had an error "Warning: rmdir(D:\temp): Directory not empty in D:\go-pear.php on line 1237". Looking at the stack trace the Archive_Tar class was throwing an error and the installer was failing to clean up after itself.
the web frontend not write correct paths to pear.ini
ig phph setting is magic_quotes_gpc = On
its doubles all slashes "\" in paths to "\" is it a bug ?
Than the packages for example can be unpacked (wrong paths ?)
"unable to unpack" Message when installing packages
http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=18212
I tried all of the above with no luck. After downloading and extracting the "Structures" folder I had to edit all paths and add "PEAR/". Then I was able to do "pear install Structures_Graph" and then "pear upgrade-all"
