GEOS is a C++ port of the Java Topology Suite. It enables geometry and geospatial processing, and is the library beneath PostgreSQL's PostGIS. I want to work with it directly in Ruby, not in PostGIS, and I know that there are native Ruby bindings, but the documentation online is sparse, and installation is buggy. How do I install GEOS with the Ruby bindings enabled?
1. Compile and Install Swig
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install swig
Mac OS X
Download and unpack the swig source code. In the unpacked directory:
./configure --without-pcre
make && sudo make install
(Or use brew install.)
2. Download and Configure GEOS
Download and unpack the GEOS source code. In the unpacked directory:
./configure --enable-ruby
Look for status lines showing Swig: true and Ruby bindings: true.
3. Compile and install GEOS
Try to compile and install:
make && sudo make install
(If make ends with the error library not found for -llibruby.2.0.0.dylib, this is due to a bug in GEOS (currently version 3.4.2). Run the following command to fix your configure file:
sed -i -e 's/RUBY_SO_NAME=.*/RUBY_SO_NAME=ruby/' configure
Then go back to Step 2.)
4. Set Up Linking
You will need to make sure the library is correctly linked before using require 'geos' in your Ruby. The install directory appears in the output of sudo make install.
Ubuntu
The default install directory is usr/local/lib.
Before executing your Ruby process, add the install directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
This environment variable needs to be set whenever you run a Ruby executable, so you may want to add it to your bash profile.
Mac OS X
The default install directory of the .so file is something like /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/universal-darwin13.
Ruby on Mac OS X requires a .bundle file, so we create a symbolic link to the .so file.
$ cd /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/universal-darwin13
$ sudo ln -s geos.so geos.bundle
This only needs to be run at install time to enable the Ruby GEOS bindings forever.
5. Load GEOS in Ruby
If you've linked correctly to the library, you should be able to use require 'geos' and see no errors.
$ irb
>> require 'geos'
=> true

I'm using "yum" which has a very old version of Ruby. I'm on linux OS and quite new to it. How can I install a specific version of Ruby that isn't present in the package installer?
Note: I don't have the other package managers (rbenv / rmv etc).
Note2: I am connected to this Linux machine via putty. So I only have command-line access.
Without package managers and using yum, your last option is to build from source.
Building from Source
Of course, you can install Ruby from source.
Download and unpack a tarball (EG: Ruby 3.0.2), then just do this:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
By default, this will install
Ruby into /usr/local. To change, pass the --prefix=DIR option to the
./configure script.
REF: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/#building-from-source
When I try to install Sphinx with this guide
./configure --with-pgsql --with-mysql #from guide
make #from guide
sudo make install #from guide
./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
$ autoreconf --install
autoreconf: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required
Are you running the ./configure command within the Sphinx source code folder? These instructions are for compiling Sphinx.
It's worth noting that the latest (v3.x) Sphinx releases aren't available as source code, only as pre-compiled binaries. So if that's what you've downloaded, you'll want to copy the files in ./bin - which would include indexer and searchd - into a location within your PATH (I would suggest /usr/local/bin).
Not excellent solution (because without mysql), but working (as all in programming world).
1) brew remove mysql
2) brew install mysql#5.7 (I don't know why, but it is working only with this version)
3) download sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinx-2.2.11-release.tar.gz and extract and cd to it
4) ./configure --with-pgsql --without-mysql and make and sudo make install
It is working for me, because I need postgresql first of all
I'm trying to install a package called Geant4 by compiling from source (HomeBrew actually has the package but it's an old version and doesn't have support for Python which I need).
I want to put the Geant4 package in /usr/local/geant4 (perhaps this is not the proper place to put it in OSX?).
Now, the Homebrew FAQ has some instructions on how to install external stuff, but when I do brew diy, I get the error message:
Error: Couldn't determine build system
The command I should use to configure Geant4 is:
cd ~/my-build-directory
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/geant4 ~/Downloads/geant4.10.01.p01
brew diy makes a good effort to determine how to build a package, but it doesn't always get it right. In the case of custom packages, it's probably best to install them into $(brew --prefix)/Cellar/$package/$version, just as Homerew would -- that way, you can interact with the package using brew link, etc. You can also install it to /usr/local or anywhere you like, but mimicking Homebrew works really well.
In your case, you could probably install it with something like:
cd /my-build-directory
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(brew --prefix)/Cellar/geant4/10.01.p01 ~/Downloads/geant4.10.01.p01
brew link geant4
I am trying to install ROOT (cern.root.ch). When I run ./configure , I get a message that libX11 is missing and must be installed.
I did some research and found that I need to install
) XQuartz (I already have the latest version.)
) Command line tools in Xcode.
I tried installing Command Line Tools from apple's developer website. The installation goes through smoothly but how do I know whether it has been installed? I still get libX11 missing error with root's configure command.
I also tried xcode-select --install and it once went through smoothly and then later again gives error saying this package is no longer maintained - or something of that sort.
I understand I may have multiple installations... But I am still facing the problem of not having libX11 and not being able to install ROOT.
Thanks,
Hershal.
This link and the one referenced in it suggests you use homebrew (brew) to install it
$ ruby <(curl -fsS https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)
$ brew doctor
Remember to add the Homebrew directory to your PATH by adding the directory (found with brew --prefix) to your .bashrc, .zshrc or whatever shell file you’re using (.bashrc is the OS X default). We’ll also add the XQuartz binaries to the PATH in case anything needs them in the future.
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:$PATH
Start a new Terminal session to pick up the changes.
Now that Homebrew is installed, we can use it to install the required dependencies. Each may take some time as Homebrew generally compiles from source.
$ brew install gfortran # Fortran compiler
$ brew install python # Python interpreter
$ brew install pcre # Regular Expressions library
$ brew install fftw # Fast Fourier Transforms
$ brew install cmake # Cross-platform make
install root
$ brew tap homebrew/science
$ brew install --with-cocoa root
You don't say whether you have installed XCode as well as the commandline tools but I think you will need it
I'm trying to compile linphone on mountain lion. I have downloaded the sources and followed all the instructions in the README.macos file. The first time, when I got to '$ port install ige-mac-integration' an error occurred. It said gtk2 had to be installed with x11, however, the instructions said to install it with quartz and no_x11. I tried installing gtk2 again, this time with x11, but when I get to the compiling process it tells me quartz is needed. I can't install both, because the gtk2 installation will complain about it, and it seems I need both to complete the entire process of installing and compiling linphone.
I have tried these steps with the downloadable sources, as well as the git sources, both gave me the same problems. Linphone does not have a forum, so I couldn't ask it on their site.
I just need to get the sources and start using them, so any recommendations on how to open the linphone source, edit it, and compile/run it would be very welcome. The ideal situation would be where I can just open an xcode project file.
This is the readme file:
**********************************
* Compiling linphone on macos X *
**********************************
You need:
- Xcode (download from apple or using appstore application)
- Macports: http://www.macports.org/
Download and install macports using its user friendly installer.
- Install build time dependencies
$ port install automake autoconf libtool intltool
- Install some linphone dependencies with macports
$ port install speex
$ port install libosip2 # WARNING: currently outdated in macport
$ port install libeXosip2 #WARNING: currently outdated in macport
$ port install ffmpeg-devel
$ port install libvpx
- Install srtp (optional) for call encryption
$ port install srtp
If that fails, get from source:
$ git clone git://git.linphone.org/srtp.git
$ cd srtp && autoconf && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local && make libsrtp.a
$ sudo make install
- Install zrtpcpp (optional), for unbreakable call encryption
$ port install cmake
$ git clone git://git.linphone.org/zrtpcpp.git
$ cd zrtpcpp && cmake -Denable_ccrtp=false . && make
$ sudo make install
- Install gtk. It is recommended to use the quartz backend for better integration.
$ port install gtk2 +quartz +no_x11
$ port install hicolor-icon-theme
- Compile and install the tunnelsu
If you got the source code from git, run ./autogen.sh first
Then or otherwise, do:
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local && make && sudo make install
- Compile linphone
If you got the source code from git, run ./autogen.sh first.
Then or otherwise, do:
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-readline=/opt/local --disable-strict --disable-x11 --with-srtp=/opt/local --with-gsm=/opt/local --enable-zrtp && make
Install to /opt/local
$ sudo make install
Done.
If you want to generate a portable bundle, then install gtk-mac-bundler.
Use git:
$ git clone https://github.com/jralls/gtk-mac-bundler.git
$ cd gtk-mac-bundler && make install
$ export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
#make this dummy charset.alias file for the bundler to be happy:
$ sudo touch touch /opt/local/lib/charset.alias
Then run, inside linphone source tree:
1. Run configure as told before but with "--enable-relativeprefix" appended.
$ make
$ make bundle
The resulting bundle is located in linphone build directory, together with a zipped version.
For a better appearance, you can install the gtk-quartz-engine (a gtk theme) that make gtk application more similar to other mac applications (but not perfect).
$ git clone https://github.com/jralls/gtk-quartz-engine.git
$ cd gtk-quartz-engine
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local && make
$ sudo make install
Generate a new bundle to have it included.
Below is the details to configure the dependencies and build linphone.
==============================================================
Step: 1:- Dependency configuration:
I just followed the instruction which is available in "README.macos" upto sqlite3 configuration. I had some problem with dependancies configuration.
Because of macport version, srtp configuration is failed. So I have downloaded "MacPorts-2.1.3-10.8-MountainLion.pkg" and installed manually.
Because of GTK version, libsoup is failed. So I have downloaded "GTK_2.18.5-X11.pkg" and installed manually.
After the manual installation, I have followed "README.macos" again for reconfiguration.
NOTE: Sometime terminal won't recognize "wget".
--> Solution: just execute below command.
echo 'alias wget="curl -O"' >> ~/.bash_profile
Step: 2:- Compile and Install:
I got some problem related to intltool while compiling.
Solution: just I set the path by executing below commands
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/local/share/man
export INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/opt/local/share/info
Now it is successfully compiled and installed.
Step: 3:- Creating bundle to run the app:
Just I followed below commands to make the build.
If you want to generate a portable bundle, then install gtk-mac-bundler.
Use git:
$ git clone https://github.com/jralls/gtk-mac-bundler.git
$ cd gtk-mac-bundler && make install
$ export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
#make this dummy charset.alias file for the bundler to be happy:
$ sudo touch touch /opt/local/lib/charset.alias
Then run, inside linphone source tree:
1. Run configure as told before but with "--enable-relativeprefix" appended.
$ make
$ make bundle
It will create "linphone.app" file in current linphone directory. It will support only for "Mountain Lion".
Step: 4:- Support for lower version: (e.g.: Lion, Snow Leopard...)
We have to configure "libiconv hack" to supporting for lower version
I think it will help you.
I wrote an answer here. It's a bit long but I sincerely hope it is clear enough and will help you.
It contains the build settings and other libs you need to include.
Cool stuff I didn't need to run the make :)
Best,
