how to install rawr? - jruby

I followed
http://rawr.rubyforge.org/
I typed rawr install but it says it couldn't find the package....
No command 'rawr' found, did you mean:
Command 'raw' from package 'util-linux' (main)
Command 'rar' from package 'rar' (multiverse)
rawr: command not found
am I supposed to run jruby -S rawr install ?

It looks like you're probably on Ubuntu, based on the 'multiverse' reference. If you don't already have rubygems, then you should first do sudo apt-get install rubygems from a terminal. Then you should be able to install rawr with sudo gem install rawr.
The rawr install command is not actually for installing rawr itself. It's one of the commands that you can run with rawr to package your source files.
Also, there might be a .deb package for rawr in Ubuntu's repositories. You can check for one with something like sudo apt-cache search rawr | grep ruby | more or just sudo apt-cache search rawr | more if you don't want to filter for the word "ruby" in package names.

I am wondering if rawr is deprecated? If not, where's the official repository now?
Ruby gems:
rawr
0.1.0
This gem has been yanked, but it is still available for download for
other gems that may have depended on it. For more information or if
you need to remove it permanently, please click here.
The link doesn't explain anything about why rawr was yanked and not present on engin yard's rubydocs either.
Anyway you can go to: Getting Started with rawr and install from www.neurogami.com.
jruby -S gem install rawr --source http://gems.neurogami.com
Also there's a home page rawr on ruby forge so the absence elsewhere is a mystery.
Hope that's helpful.

How to install expect and tcl on linux RHEL server 6.5

I am new to linux and i have few expect scripts to execute. I read few blogs on how to install expect and tcl. The command i am trying is
sudo yum install expect
sudo yum install tcl
I am getting
No package expect available
No package tcl available
It seems RHEL should have tcl and expect prebuilt but this is not the case in my version of linux.
How should i proceed from here ?
Help will be highly appreciated..Thanks :)
Install the development tools:
yum groupinstall "Development tools"
then
./configure
make
make install
should be good to go.
Have you tried this? In this way you will be able to compile from source.
1) Download the expect package from the below link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/expect/
2) Install the required dependecy packages "Tcl/Tk" language toolkit
# yum install tcl
3) Install the "expect" package using the below commands
# tar -zxvf expectx.xx.tar.gz
# ./configure
# make
# make install
I tried the following links and it worked for me. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/tcl.html http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/expect.html
Try ActiveTcl from ActiveState:
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/releases/8.6.4.1/ActiveTcl8.6.4.1.299124-linux-x86_64-threaded.tar.gz
You can add EPEL Repo
On 32-Bit -
# rpm -Uvh http://epel.mirror.net.in/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
On 64-Bit -
# rpm -Uvh http://epel.mirror.net.in/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
and then you can use yum to install.
Also you can compile from source or get from ActiveState like in previous answers.

Is Installing Jruby on Nitrious.io possible?

Does Nitrous.io support JRuby?
Installing it with RVM seems to attempt to run a sudo apt-get update, which it won't allow...
Thanks.
First you will need to update RVM.
rvm get head
From there you can install jruby:
rvm install jruby
Next, set RVM to use jruby.
rvm use jruby
Next, add jruby to your PATH.
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jruby/bin
From there you should be able to check that jruby is working with the following command:
jruby --version
So, installing a jruby binary seems to work fine, but still cant figure out how to get RVM to do the install...
So, I just manually moved jruby into the .rvm folder...I put a copy of the binary in the .rvm/rubies directory, made a symlink from the binaries' "jruby" executable to a "ruby" executable in the .rvm/rubies bin folder, made related empty folders for jruby in the .rvm/gems directory for the version of jruby, and did "rvm jruby-1.7.8 do rvm gemset create" and now I can do "rvm use jruby"...things seem to work fine.
I have a bad feeling about this tho. But I always do when using RVM...
I don't know if it will actually require any additional packages (so this might not work), but you could try running rvm with --autolibs=0 so it doesn't attempt to install any packages; see https://rvm.io/rvm/autolibs for details.

Automatically install build dependencies prior to building an RPM package

I am trying to build a .rpm package. I have just followed the steps to do that. Till now all steps were gone fine but now i just stuck with this step. I just ran the following command and got this error:
rpmbuild -ba asterisk.spec
error: Failed build dependencies:
gtk2-devel is needed by asterisk-1.8.12.2-1.fc15.x86_64
libsrtp-devel is needed by asterisk-1.8.12.2-1.fc15.x86_64
[... more ...]
freetds-devel is needed by asterisk-1.8.12.2-1.fc15.x86_64
uw-imap-devel is needed by asterisk-1.8.12.2-1.fc15.x86_64
I am using fedora-15. How to resolve this error?
How I do install all depencencies during installation of src.rpm package. Is it possible?
You can use the yum-builddep command from the yum-utils package to install all the build dependencies for a package.
The arguments can either be paths to spec files, paths to source RPMs or the names of packages which exist as source RPMs in a configured repository, for example:
yum-builddep my-package.spec
or
yum-builddep my-package.src.rpm
The same thing can be achieved on newer versions of Fedora that use dnf as their package manager by making sure that dnf-plugins-core is installed and then doing:
dnf builddep my-package.spec
or
dnf builddep my-package.src.rpm
yum-builddep doesn't seem to work if the mirror you use doesn't serve source RPMs. This may not handle all cases, but it usually works for me:
sudo yum install -y $(<rpmbuild> | fgrep 'is needed by' | awk '{print $1}')
where <rpmbuild> is your rpmbuild command (e.g., rpmbuild -ba foo.spec).
On PHP building - especially phpbrew I used dnf builddep php, it worked.

Installing sphinx on Dreamhost

I'm following this tutorial: http://hughevans.net/2009/03/10/thinking-sphinx-dreamhost
I'm run into an issue when I run:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/ --exec-prefix=$HOME/local/
I get an error: "cannot find MySQL include files."
I've checked and cant find mysql_config, so I'm guessing the mysql-devel package isn't installed.
My next step is to install the mysql-devel package from source, but I'm thinking that I may be missing something.
Has anyone found a solution for this issue?
(I'm using a VPS)
My next step is to install the mysql-devel package from source
Why from source?
Suggest just using a package manager to install the package.
I solved my problem by using a different user with root access.
With that user I installed sphinx with APT.
sudo apt-get install sphinxsearch

libmysqlclient15-dev on macs?

Does OSX need an install of libmysqlclient15-dev? I'm trying to compile a gem that is failing and a lot of sources says to install "libmysqlclient15-dev" but I only see this for Linux, not OSX. Am I missing something here?
brew install mysql
fixed this for me
I know this is old, but google got me here. So let's say the solution in 2018 for python3 on OSX.
brew install mysql-client
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
pip install mysqlclient
I just had the same problem and only got a partial working solution.
Here are the steps I made to make it work:
brew install mysql-client
brew install mysql-connector-c
IF YOU HAVE ZSH:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
ELSE:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
Now for the installation itself:
LDFLAGS=-L< your openssl lib folder location > pip install mysqlclient==< version >
for example:
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib pip install mysqlclient==1.3.12
If you are using the mysql dmg file to install mysql you will need to edit your ~/.bash_profile and include this:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
brew install mysql
then
arch -x86_64 gem install mysql2 -v 0.5.3 -- --srcdir=/usr/local/mysql/include
Afterwards I was able to run bundle install.
Copied from Bragadeesh Jegannathan's blog post
Yes you will need to install this. For example if you are trying to install the mysql gem you will need the headers for the mysql library. This is because some gems need to compile native extensions, so they need the header files for any 3rd party libraries that the extensions uses.
On Mac OS X I recommend using MacPorts to manage the installation of these libraries/headers.
Those instructions are for Debian type Linuxes. The closest thing to Debian for OS X is Fink. After getting that installed and set up, you can say fink install mysql-unified-dev to get essentially the same thing as asking for libmysqlclient15-dev on a Debian or Ubuntu type system.
Beware that Fink installs its packages in /sw, and not all build scripts know to look there for libraries and headers. You might have to give custom build options to get it to figure this out.
A path that may be more successful is to simply download the MySQL 5.0 package for Mac OS X. That should include the same development files as libmysqlclient15-dev, and as a bonus will put them in places more likely to be found by your gem.
(Why 5.0, by the way? Because that's what corresponds to ABI version 15, which your package apparently requires. Maybe it will in fact work with 5.1, or 5.4, or 6.0, but that would be a risk you'd have to decide to take on your own.)
