I am trying to install Ezra-project on Ubuntu 20.04. When I run the install it fails and says:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ezra-project:
ezra-project depends on libicu66; however:
Package libicu66 is not installed.
I tried installing libicu66 with
sudo apt install libicu66
But it says
Package libicu66 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 'libicu66' has no installation candidate
Is libicu66 available for Ubuntu 20.04? If so, please could someone direct me to where to download it from?
I faced same problem when i tried to install couchdb.
The solution i found was installing it manually.
Go to https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/focal/main/base/libicu66 and download the proper version for your CPU architecture.
It could be done with wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu66_66.1-2ubuntu2_[YOUR_CPU_ARCHITECTURE].deb
Then in the same folder use sudo apt update && sudo dpkg -i libicu66_66.1-2ubuntu2_[YOUR_CPU_ARCHITECTURE].deb
So I've been trying for two days to unsuccessfully install build-essential on a Mac OS X Sierra with brew and apt-get. Researching into the issue has given me some results but nothing that has yielded any results.
sudo apt-get update
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Being lazy I've also listed below the other packages I'm struggling to install and their respective errors below.
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
E: Couldn't find package build-essential
E: Couldn't find package libfreetype6-dev
E: Couldn't find package automake
E: Couldn't find package postgresql-9.5
Theres been a couple of suggestions to edit the source list of apt-get but I can't seem to find it.
What on Earth are you doing? macOS doesn't use apt-get - at all. It doesn't come with a package manager.
There are independent package management tools, to my mind the best of them is homebrew from here. Some folks use MacPorts.
Before you can do any development in macOS, you need Xcode's command-line tools - see here.
If you want Postgresql, I suggest you go to the homebrew website above, copy the one-line install and paste it into Terminal. Once you have that set up, you can install Postgresql with:
brew install postgresql
If you want to search for package abcXYZnnn, just search for any part of that name:
brew search XYZ
If you want to do updates, and upgrades:
brew update && brew upgrade
If you want to remove a package:
brew rm PACKAGENAME
You can use Homebrew:
brew install gcc binutils bison
Environment OSX 10.9.5
I am trying to install swftools so that I can use pdf2swf. I am installing through HomeBrew. I've seen various notes about pdf2swf failing to install if its dependencies have not been previously installed. So using the command at the link I use:
$ brew install freetype libjpeg giflib swftools
And it completes without error – except pdf2swf is not installed. When I look in usr/local/bin, I see the other swftools are installed successfully.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Update: For completeness if anyone comes across this question looking to use pdf2swf in an AIR desktop app: you can't. Apparently pdf2swf compiles the swf with certain "AllowDomain" security settings and there is no option to not do that. Short of editing the source code and compiling pdf2swf oneself, it seems a deadend.
If you look at the brew formula: brew edit swftools, PDF support comes via xpdf and this is not included by default as XQuartz needs to be installed:
brew instal swftools --with-xpdf
swftools: XQuartz is required to install this formula.
You can install with Homebrew Cask:
brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz
You can download from:
https://xquartz.macosforge.org
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
So:
Install XQuartz
brew install swftools --with-xpdf
I tried to install GNU Octave on my Mac using Fink by this instruction
http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X
I think I have followed all the instructions but I can't run Octave.
How can I check if it is installed correctly?
I tried typing 'octave' in the terminal but it says 'command not found'
Or, is there any easy instruction for Octave installation?
I've found many install guides but they are all different and assumes some knowledge.
Incidentally, I have installed Octave GNU today twice on two different machines (both running Lion).
I needed the latest version of Octave (3.6.4), and used Homebrew.
I already had XCode installed, so the rest:
Install Homebrew
Based on the instructions in this page, I ran:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
Install Octave
Following this guide, I ran:
brew tap homebrew/science
brew update && brew upgrade
brew install gfortran
brew install octave
Install AquaTerm
Notice that you need this before you install gnuplot (or gnuplot won't see aqua as a valid terminal and you may get 'unknown or ambiguous terminal type' error).
Simply downloaded the latest version (1.1.0) dmg from SourceForge.
Install gnuplot
brew install gnuplot
You could try installing it with Home Brew. Once you download and install Home Brew, use this guide to get Octave installed.
Easiest option would be using the precompilled .app
I've tried the precompiled .app, but had issues with certain functions (like sound),
whereas the macports version always worked.
I usually install it using macports:
sudo port install octave
for the basics.
You might need other port variants/octave modules installed:
sudo port install octave octave-signal octave-plot octave-image octave-signal
Need to have XCode with Command Line Tools first and Macports with this route though
How to know if a Fink package is installed
By default (and this should be your case too if you didn't changed it), Fink installs everything under /sw, i.e. the binaries you are looking for should be in /sw/bin/.
Run ls /sw/bin/octave*and, depending on the output, you then have two choices :
Either the Octave binary is inside /sw/bin, in that case run echo $PATH and learn more about PATH Variable to fix your problem.
Otherwise, if there is nothing inside, there might have been a problem with the install. Try running fink install octave once more, look closely at the output and update your post if necessary.
This is simply an update on the instruction provided by Izhaki (that I ran on Mac OSX 10.8.4).
You may be required to update XCode to 4.6.3. This can be done through the AppStore.
If you encounter the error:
Error: Download failed: http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/sites/default/files/software_releases/source/tbb41_20130613oss_src.tgz
during
brew install octave
Then invoke:
brew update
brew install octave
and the install will pick up where it left off. Other than that, the instruction worked seamlessly.
I'm having some trouble installing jekyll. Can't quite figure out how to patch the missing link. I think it's an update to Ruby, but RVM is having trouble installing alternate versions of ruby as well.
Heres the full post:
$ sudo gem install jekyll
ERROR: Error installing jekyll:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb
mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h

Results logged to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/fast-stemmer-1.0.1/ext/gem_make.out
Does this mean I need to update the version of ruby I'm using via rvm?
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
gem install jekyll
Your problem is that either you system doesn't know where make is located at or you don't have it installed. The easiest way to fix this (and probably other issues you'll run into trying to get a ruby system up and running) is to install xcode.
You can get it at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?ls=1&mt=12 for lion. Or it came on a CD with your computer for earlier versions.
If you're using Lion, please see comments below for a link to how to install developer tools on Lion.
I had the same error on Ubuntu and this helped me sort it out.
You must have ruby-dev installed
apt-get install ruby-dev
If you installed XCode and command line tools are still missing go to Terminal and
xcode-select --install
it will prompt you to install these tools. After that just follow SrBlanco´s answer. That solved the problem for me.
Good luck.
Need to install "make".
I am using Ubuntu 12.10.
sudo apt-get install make
Should work on any Debian based distro.
Note: this problem also occurs on newer MacBook Pro models that come with Mavericks pre-installed. I updated another post with my own solution that didn't involve Xcode at all. My system had the Xcode developer tools installed when I got the machine.
ERROR: Error installing jekyll: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension
Install Xcode as mentioned if you don't have it installed already (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/). Plus you need the command line tools.
Open Xcode. Go to Preferences > Downloads > Install Command Line Tools
Installing command line tools for Xcode solved the problem for me on my Mac
xcode-select --install.
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo gem install jekyll
hope this will help, it works with me.
I had this same exact error when trying to install Jekyll, and the following steps from this link helped me. Just in case anyone else comes across this!
http://davidensinger.com/2013/03/installing-jekyll/
I was facing the same issue in my Fedora 22 setup. I had ruby installed but didn't have ruby-devel. Installing ruby-devel fixed the issue for me.
dnf install -y ruby-devel
For older systems:
yum install -y ruby-devel
I followed this on Ubuntu/Linux Mint
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install ruby-dev
sudo gem install jekyll
An addendum: You can install XCode now from the App Store on Mountain Lion. The process is transparent and pretty fast.
I had the same problems with you.
I use Mac OS X 10.9 develop preview version, and I had installed gcc and Xcode.
But my Xcode version is 4.6.
Then I install the Xcode 5.0
After that I type sudo gem install jekyll in the terminal again. Then it works.
Wish it could help someone.
Installing Xcode and going to perferencs > downloads > install commandline tools WORKS!
Same problem on Debian, I had forgot to run this command:
~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
All these answers did NOT work for me.
If you're looking for a solution on ubuntu 14.04, do this:
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev zlib1g-dev nodejs
sudo gem install jekyll -v 2.5.3
Unfortunately, nodejs is required because of a bug in Jekyll that enforces existence of runtime JS engine even though it doesn't need one.
For Ubuntu, this helped in my case:
apt-get install libffi-dev
A general advice is to just follow what is displayed as the reason for the error and hopefully you'll be provided with a log file in which the first line suggests which package should be installed, in my case:
To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:
/var/lib/gems/2.3.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.3.0/ffi-1.9.21/mkmf.log
MacOS
my solution to this problem
install xcode
type xcode-select --install in the command line
type sudo gem install jekyll in the command line
PS: It is the combination of the two answers in this question.
You are missing the ruby-dev file , just go ahead and run this command - sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
Hope this helps!!
I had the same issue on my macOS(10.14.2), the reason may be:
Apparently with OSX el Capitan, there is a new security function that prevents you from modifying system files called Rootless.
My solution is using rvm:
install ruby on Mac OS X with RVM
gem install jekyll
On windows I have this issue
I actually installed the version rubyinstaller-devkit-2.6.3-1-x64 of ruby
I have removed the ruby completely and Installed the rubyinstaller-devkit-2.5.5-1-x64
and issued the following commands on powershell
gem install bundler
gem install jekyll
and this time no errors where found
I had this issue and of all things, the error was occurring because I hadn't agreed to some updated terms of service in xcode. Running the following did the trick for me. Go figure.
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
For me, I had to upgrade homebrew and install rbenv to the latest ruby version. After that, I followed the instruction at jekyll website. My OS is Catalina 2019, I couldn't install Xcode, which is not compatible yet!
You have to set the path in your .bash_profile to make sure that it initializes the rbenv when you restart your terminal.
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
then
$ rbenv version
2.2.3 (set by /Users/mislav/.rbenv/version)
$ rbenv shell
rbenv: no shell-specific version configured
hope that help!
Here is the (only?) reliable and simple way to install Jekyll on macOS
Install UTM
Install Ubuntu Server
Install Jekyll using Ubuntu instructions at https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/ubuntu/
Forward port 22 in the VM settings (22->localhost->22)
Use VS Code on the macOS host
Install Remote SSH
Connect to USER#localhost
Drag and drop the folder on Mac into VS Code (this transfers files to remote)
Enable port forwarding for 4000 (bottom bar on VS Code)
Work on your website
Right click on your website on the file explorer and click download
If you have not done these steps, you might be delighted by:
Ubuntu imports your public SSH key from GitHub
VS Code magically handles file transfer in and out
VS Code magically installs your VS Code extensions onto the remote server and allows file search on the remote host
