Installing MySQL Client on OpenWRT - installation

I'm looking for a way to install libmysqlclient on an OpenWRT (ver: Attitude Adjustment) wireless AP.
I've (finally) been able to successfully cross-compile a small C program for the AP, but when trying to install it I get an error indicating that the libmysqlclient dependency for my program cannot be satisfied.
Seems pretty obvious, right? Just install libmysqlclient and be done with it. If only I could figure out how to install the library...
Is it as simple as copying libmysqlclient (which I have on my main box) to the appropriate directory on the AP? OpenWRT uses opkg as a package manager but opkg has no idea what libmysqlclient is.
I'm afraid I'm a little out of my depth here and any guidance the community can provide would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to add that in my research I've found that there are other packages that can be installed on OpenWRT, such as MySQL, that rely on the library in question, so there must be a way to install it. The Makefile for MySQL found here (under libs -> mysql) indicates quite clearly that it is dependent on libmysqlclient.

Turns out it's just buried deep in the bowels of the internet. The following command will install libmysqlclient to your OpenWRT box:
opkg install http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/libmysqlclient_5.1.68-1_ar71xx.ipk
However, this lib depends on a couple others, all of which can be found at OpenWRT's opkg Repository.

Installing V8 required by rstan on gentoo

is there a way to install rstan on a Gentoo amd64 system? rstan depends on v8-r (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/V8/index.html), which depends on a v8 installation. I haven't found a working v8 ebuild, v8 failed to compile with didactic-duck ebuilds. I also tried nodejs, without success. Compiling v8 from source failed with "unsupported linux distro".
Thanks, Sven
UPDATE: as of the latest version of V8 you can use:
# For Linux: download libv8 during installation
Sys.setenv(DOWNLOAD_STATIC_LIBV8=1)
install.packages("V8")
This way, you can install the V8 package on any x64 Linux system, without separate system requirements. See also this post: https://ropensci.org/technotes/2020/11/12/installing-v8/
Original answer
The R package V8 simply needs libv8 headers and shared library. The best solution is to use the V8 engine from NodeJS, but this can only be done if NodeJS itself was built with the --shared option. I don't use Gentoo myself, but from the above I guess this is currently not the case.
You have to talk to the maintainer of the nodejs package in Gentoo, and ask them to enable shared libnode. Below some references about this from Fedora and Debian, that might get you started:
Fedora: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nodejs/pull-request/4 and https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/R-V8
Debian: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libnode-dev and https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/r-cran-v8
If you can't get this to work, you could also build libv8 yourself, but I have to warn you this is pretty painful because upstream changes their API and build system every few weeks.
Some working examples are:
Homebrew: https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/v8.rb
Arch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/v8-r/
Same problem here.
I am afraid I don't have an answer myself. If it helps, the furthest that I have gone is to install "nodejs" and then manually try to install V8 from source:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/node/deps/v8/include LIB_DIR=/usr/include/node/libplatform' V8_3.2.0.tar.gz
But CRAN complains about "cannot find -lv8_libplatform", and with other combinations of INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR I have not succeeded.
I have also tried several ebuilds from didactic-duck and even one from petkovich.
Also, installing from source seems to be impossible.
What "nodejs" install is the following, in case someone else has an idea about how to combine INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR, or at least to enlight whether with nodejs is enough, or a full v8 installation is needed:
/usr/include/node/v8-fast-api-calls.h
/usr/include/node/v8-internal.h
/usr/include/node/v8-platform.h
/usr/include/node/v8-profiler.h
/usr/include/node/v8-util.h
/usr/include/node/v8-value-serializer-version.h
/usr/include/node/v8-version-string.h
/usr/include/node/v8-version.h
/usr/include/node/v8-wasm-trap-handler-posix.h
/usr/include/node/v8-wasm-trap-handler-win.h
/usr/include/node/v8.h
/usr/include/node/v8config.h
/usr/include/node/deps/v8
/usr/include/node/deps/v8/include
/usr/include/node/libplatform/v8-tracing.h
Thank you very much.

Qemu: recipe for target 'contrib/elf2dmp/download.o' failed

I'm trying to install Qemu in Ubuntu 18.04 but I guess there is a problem with the Makefile.
./configure runs fine, but when i try to 'make' it, it exits with an error:
contrib/elf2dmp/download.c:9:10: fatal error: curl/curl.h: Arquivo ou diretório inexistente
#include <curl/curl.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
/home/usr/Programas/qemu-4.1.0-rc1/rules.mak:69: recipe for target 'contrib/elf2dmp/download.o' failed
I would gladly accept some help to solve this, since I cannot figure it out. Thanks!
The compiler is looking for a system header file (provided by the libcurl library) which isn't present on your system. For Ubuntu 18.04 this should be in the libcurl4-gnutls-dev package, so if you install that and then do a 'make clean' and then repeat configure and make it ought to build OK.
In theory configure should have noticed that you don't have the curl library dev package installed and just disabled the parts of QEMU that require it. I suspect this is an upstream bug. I haven't been able to reproduce your setup, but I have a good guess about what the problem is, and I think this patch to QEMU should fix it:
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20190719100955.17180-1-peter.maydell#linaro.org/ -- so if you could test that that would be helpful.
NB: If your /etc/apt/sources.list has the correct deb-src lines in it, then you can use "apt build-dep qemu" to install all the -dev packages that would be needed to build the official Ubuntu QEMU. This might help you to avoid surprises in future where it turns out that the QEMU you've compiled yourself is missing some optional functionality because a -dev package wasn't present at compile time.

Installing liblapack without root permissions? (Trying to get Armadillo/Lapack/Blas working)

I'm trying to install Armadillo (and thus also BLAS and LAPACK) on a linux server for which I do not have root permission. I have jumped through a few of the first hurdles, but I am getting an error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llapack
This question addresses the same problem, with the solution being to install
liblapack-dev
liblapack3
libopenblas-base
libopenblas-dev
The problem is the only way I've found to do this online is by doing something like sudo-aptget install or yum install. Both are not allowed on the server I use. I can download binaries and install them locally - that is it.
My question is: how can I install these packages without the above permissions and get on my way to using Armadillo?
I'm using Centos linux, if it helps.
Since you do not have root permissions, the best way is to download and build LAPACK and BLAS. You can download the source code from netlib.
Description of installation instructions can be found here and here.
The basic steps are:
Unzip and tar the file.
Copy and edit the file LAPACK/make.inc.example to LAPACK/make.inc.
Edit the file LAPACK/Makefile
type make.
Similarly you can download and build BLAS.

Go lang: how to install libxml2/gokogiri on windows

If there a relatively simple way to make go + libxml2 + gokogiri work on windows?
I mean that I may be can install it (but at the moment I can not, stuck with Package libxml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path), but then I need to provide my utilite to other people, who will never be able (or would wish ) to install lall libxml2 dependencies, modify PATH etc on windows...
It work flawless on Ubuntu...
I found this https://github.com/moovweb/gokogiri/issues/49 thats funny with installation of Gimp 2 (what?!), but I still cannot make it run with such error, I guess might be issue with PATH, but all PATH are set
$ go get github.com/moovweb/gokogiri

You are struggling because it is hard to combine packages that were built by different people for different purposes and get your environment set up correctly. I think it is best to use MSYS2, an environment for Windows that provides a consistent set of packages for things like gcc, go, libxml2, and iconv. MSYS2 has a package manager (pacman) that helps you easily install them and keep them updated.
I don't do much programming with Go, but I am familiar with MSYS2 and it seems like I was able to get gokogiri installed using MSYS2. You should open MSYS2's "MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell" from the Start menu (mingw64_shell.bat), and try running these commands:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-{gcc,go,libxml2,iconv}
export GOROOT=/mingw64/
export GOPATH=/c/Users/David/Documents/goproj/
mkdir -p $GOPATH
go get github.com/moovweb/gokogiri
I think GOPATH should be set to the directory of your project. If you run into an error, it might be because some pacman package is required that I didn't list here.
The string mingw-w64-x86_64-{gcc,go,libxml2,iconv} gets expanded by Bash into the following list of packages:
mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
mingw-w64-x86_64-go
mingw-w64-x86_64-libxml2
mingw-w64-x86_64-iconv
If you are actually using 32-bit Windows, replace x86_64 with i686 in the instructions above.
If you are curious, the scripts for building those packages are here: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
As a disclaimer, I haven't actually compiled any go programs in MSYS2, so there could be big problems I am unaware of.
Also, one of the main developers of MSYS2 (alexpux) said this in the #msys2 IRC chat on 2015-06-21:
We not build go for a long time.
This package in very WIP state
Also see
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/421
So you might need to fix some issues with the MSYS2 Go package and recompile it yourself to really make this work. But you have the PKGBUILD script that was used to build it, so maybe that will be less hard than what you are trying to do right now, which involves compiling/collecting every dependency of gokogiri.
MSYS2 would make your other installation of go, libxml2, and iconv obsolete. You can delete those things once you get your MSYS2 environment working.
If you are using visual studio and want to add dependency to your project then just install it using NuGet Package Manager it's easiest method.
Install command: Install-Package libxml2

how to run gambit-c

It's late and I should go to bed and maybe that's why I can't figure this out. I'm on a fedora-13 machine and I just ran
yum install gambit-c
I installed it because I want to follow along in a schemed text book.
but now that it's installed, how do I start the scheme interpreter??
It looks from the RPM listing that the binaries are named gsi, gsix, and gsc, all in /usr/bin. I suspect that gsi is the interpreter.
For more details, there's also the manual entry for gsi.
BTW: I don't know about the Fedora RPM, but I found that the Ubuntu repository's Gambit-C was quite outdated (4.0-ish), with missing features like simple compilation of stand-alone executables. The most recent version is 4.6. If your RPM's version is a few decimal places behind, I'd suggest just installing from source; it's a pretty standard configure -> make -> make install sequence. Just remember the following option when running configure:
./configure --enable-single-host
This speeds things up quite a bit.
