Are there Fedora drivers for Point Grey Flycapture SDK? - fedora

I am using Fedora 12, and i have some problems finding drivers for my Firefly MV USB Digital camera. It seems that the drivers are only available in Ubuntu and ARM for Linux distro. Are there any source code that i can compile for the drivers so that I can operate my camera?

did you try with alien?
something like
alien -r foobar.deb

Where does cuda-repo-cross-<identifier>-all.deb come from?

I am trying to set up a cross-compile environment on an AWS EC2 Ubuntu box targeting Nvida Xavier devices on Cuda 10.2. I tried following the "instructions" at https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/10.2/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#cross-platform which say to install
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-cross-<identifier>_all.deb
but no clue as to where I might get hold of that .deb file, or what <identifier> should be replaced with. I have installed the native package cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-10-2-local-10.2.89-440.33.01_1.0-1_amd64.deb and there are a load of .deb files in /var/cuda-repo-10-2-local-10.2.89-440.33.01, but none of them are that one.
So it turns out that the instructions that can be found by googling for, for instance, "cuda install cross compile" are wrong, or at least so incomplete as makes no difference.
Instead, use the SDK manager https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-sdk-manager to install just the host tools. It does run without a GUI.

How to install MUMPS database in Windows 8.1?

I would like to install MUMPS database in Windows 8.1. I was trying to install but there is no exe file for MUMPS database. Can anyone give me a hand?. I downloaded a lot of files from this site https://sourceforge.net/projects/mumps/files/ but still don't know where to start.
From the README for that project, you'll need to install Cygwin:
NOTES on cygwin
For Windows, install the Cygwin environment at http://cygwin.com/install.html
Run cygwin terminal (on win7 or win8 run it as administrator).
Setup the Cygserver using /usr/bin/cygserver-config.
edit /usr/include/cygwin/shm.h
add near end
#define SHM_R (IPC_R)
#define SHM_W (IPC_W)
edit /usr/include/cygwin/ipc.h
move third last #endif 3 lines up
Once you have Cygwin setup, the mumps.exe file available to download at the link you provide should run.
That said, I would agree with Evgeny in recommending you try the free evaluation version of InterSystems Caché. It is a far more accessible Mumps implementation for Windows and it has an extensive set of libraries for common functionality.

Project-open on Fedora server

I want to install ]project open[ version 4 on fedora server.can anyone tell me what are the exact procedure/steps to install it from scratch..any help would be appreciated.
There are instructions for installing ]project-open[ 4.0 on CentOS 6, which should be quite similar: http://www.project-open.com/en/install-rhel-6. However, I'm not aware of any installation or installation request specifically on Fedora. Just make sure to use PostgreSQL 8.4 (exactly this version!). You might have to compile PG from source for this.
As an alternative you could install KVM on your Fedora system and convert ]po[ V4.0 VMware. Instructions are available for example here: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473

location of octave header files

I am trying to use Octave as an external solver in my C/C++ code.
I read here that one needs to include the octave/oct.h header file. However I am not able to find it on my computer. I have searched everywhere including the octave root directory version 3.0.5.
What should I do?
I found it in my Octave 3.2.2 installation in Windows: C:\Octave\3.2.2_gcc-4.3.0\include\octave-3.2.2\octave.
Are you using another operating system? If so, you may need to install the headers separately. For example, Ubuntu 10.10 has a separate octave3.2-headers package.
If you are using Windows and your Octave installation does not have the headers, you could try upgrading to 3.2.2 or greater. I got the Windows installer from Octave-Forge.
For newer versions on Ubuntu, e.g., Octave 3.8.1, the package you must install to get the headers is now called liboctave-dev
The include folder of the Octave 4.0.0 installed on Ubuntu can be found at /usr/include/octave-4.0.0/octave.

Compile Linux program from Mac OS X with Free Pascal

I want to build a command-line tool in Free Pascal for run in a SUSE 9.
This is a production server, and it is hard get approved to install anything apart from this tool.
I code on Mac OS X Leopard and wonder if is possible cross-compile from here to Linux?
The server run on Xeon.
Success! If you install Fink and then say
sudo fink install fpc-i386-linux
it will install Free Pascal and everything you need to cross compile. You will then be able to say
/sw/bin/fpc -Tlinux hw.pas
and get a Linux executable.
Unless there are cross-compilation options I can't find, you're probably out of luck doing it directly from Mac OS X. However, you can get what you want by installing a virtual machine like Parallels or Sun's VirtualBox, installing SUSE on it, and compiling there.
There are now .dmg files of Free Pascal (binary, source, and Lazarus) available for install, so it should be easy to install, open, and compile it. Note, though, that if it links to Linux-specific .so files, that they may need to be installed on Mac OS X, or you will have to change the code not to use them.
FPC can crosscompile pretty well in general. There are limitations though:
Crosscompiling from a non x86/x86_64 architecture to x86/x86_64 won't work. It requires extended, which isn't emulated on other archs. However you seem to use an intel OS X machine (not PPC), so that doesn't apply.
Depending on the libraries used and the nature of the target platforms you might need to have target-libraries on host. (in general: not for windows, but you will have to for *nix/OS X as target)
See also http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf it contains some background on crosscompiling with FPC.
