erlang is no longer supported by Red Hat Enterprise Linux? - erlang

I'm trying installing Erlang on my REHL7.2, but unfortunately I failed. I tried two approaches
First I tried downloading a RPM package from official site of erlang (in fact the rpm package is for CentOS, but there's no RPM package for RHEL anyway), but
error: Failed dependencies:
libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0()(64bit) is needed by esl-erlang-19.0-1.x86_64
libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0(WXU_2.8)(64bit) is needed by esl-erlang-19.0-1.x86_64
Then I tried
$ wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
$ rpm -Uvh erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
But it failed too because
No package erlang available.
Error: Nothing to do
I wonder whether Erlang is no longer supported by RHEL? Otherwise how can I install Erlang on my RHEL7.2?

One simple solution to install the Erlang Solutions package is install the epel repository:
yum install epel-release
Then
wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install erlang
The epel repo contains the libwx_* libraries required.

As instructed here:
enter link description here
Run the following commands (note: the commands on the above link use R15B01, but in the following commands, I changed it to the last release of Erlang (R15B03) It will take a while to finish with the installation. Run commands line by line
sudo yum install gcc glibc-devel make ncurses-devel openssl-devel autoconf
wget http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_R15B03.tar.gz
tar zxvf otp_src_R15B03.tar.gz
cd otp_src_R15B03
./configure && make && sudo make install
After everything is done, you will be still at otp_src_R15B03 where Erlang is installed. Type erl and Enter, then, it should run and open Erlang prompt. I tried running Erlang from my home directory and from the root by just typing erl and it worked too. This way, Erlang is working good for me. To quit Erlang press CTRL + g then q and Enter
There is another way to install and useful info on this link:
enter link description here

I have figured it out! I found two solutions.
The first solution which is also the easiest way is to install a zero dependency version of erlang, please refer to my another Question. But I only tried this way after installing erlang from source, so if you failed this way, just try the following soltuion.
The other one is to build erlang from source (or by kerl which is essentially the same thing).
Install necessary dependencies:$sudo yum install ncurses-devel openssl-devel *openjdk-devel unixODBC unixODBC-devel
Download source code of erlang, unzip it and cd into the direcotry
sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install
Please refer to this article.
Thank you everyone!

Try this, worked for me.
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install erlang erlang-nox

Failing to install VEP dependencies

I'm trying to install VEP, but am getting stuck installing its dependencies.
I try to install as suggested here https://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/script/index.html
cd ~/bin
git clone https://github.com/Ensembl/ensembl-vep.git
cd ensembl-vep
perl INSTALL.pl
But I get this error:
ERROR: DBI module not found. VEP requires the DBI perl module to function
http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/script/vep_download.html#requirements
So, I then try and install DBI as suggested here https://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/script/vep_download.html#requirements
cpanm DBI
But I get this error:
Can't write to cpanm home '/Users/michaelflower/.cpanm': You should fix it with chown/chmod first.
How to I 'fix' it with chown/chmod??
On Ubuntu 20.04 this worked for me:
sudo apt install libdbi-perl
But then I ran into a bunch of other errors which I solved sequentially by doing these things (I restarted the installation after every step but I guess if you first do them all, then it should work in 1 go):
sudo apt update # Or you'll more errors
sudo apt install unzip
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install libbz2-dev liblzma-dev zlib1g-dev
sudo apt install libcam-pdf-perl
cpan Bio::DB:HTS # Takes a while as well
This perl modules wants to install
cpan Bio::SeqFeature::Lite # Takes quite a while
Which wants to install:
cpan XML::DOM XML::Parser::PerlSAX XML::Twig
Which then ultimately fails with:
Files=109, Tests=72, 4 wallclock secs ( 0.28 usr 0.09 sys + 2.29 cusr 0.83 csys = 3.49 CPU)
Result: FAIL
Failed 103/109 test programs. 32/72 subtests failed.
make: *** [Makefile:837: test_dynamic] Error 255
MIROD/XML-Twig-3.52.tar.gz
one dependency not OK (XML::Parser); additionally test harness failed
/usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
//hint// to see the cpan-testers results for installing this module, try:
reports MIROD/XML-Twig-3.52.tar.gz
So I try to install XML::Parser
cpan XML::Parser
and it fails too
Note that if you build against a shareable library in a non-standard location
you may (on some platforms) also have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable at run time for perl to find the library.
No 'Makefile' created TODDR/XML-Parser-2.46.tar.gz
/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site -- NOT OK
I'll ddg some more...
... ok, I just reran to original install command and it crashes with a new message, it wants me to intall LWP::Simple. So I do, on my first attempt it crashed with a permissions error so I add sudo
sudo cpan LWP::Simple
Restarting install...
perl INSTALL.pl
SUCCESS!

Installing Rglpk on linux

I am trying to install Rglpk using the install.packages command. I am getting this error :
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: GLPK: No such file or directory
make: *** [GLPK.ts] Error 1
The glpk-dev package is already installed :
rpm -qa| grep glpk-dev
glpk-devel-4.40-1.1.el6.x86_64
Thanks for your help,
Hi what I did was the following as a sudoer
cd usr local
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.54.tar.gz
tar xfzv glpk-4.54.tar.gz
mkdir GLPK
./configure
make
make install
then download the Rglpk_0.6-0.tar.gz and install.package the usual way. It is basically the same as what was done here, but as a sudoer:
I got this fixed by running 'sudo make' and 'sudo make install' instead of 'make' and 'make install'. Not sure if this is good practice, someone else be the judge.
cd $HOME
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.65.tar.gz
tar xfzv glpk-4.65.tar.gz
mkdir GLPK
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
Then run install.packages('Rglpk') from within R.
My experience was the following as a sudoer:
install GLPK package: see https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GLPK/Linux_OS
install Rglpk:
# install devtools package beforehand. Or, you can download the Rglpk package manually, and then install in R.
# note that the latest version of Rglpk does not work on my Redhat system. Instead, the version 0.6-0 works perfectly.
devtools::install_url("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Rglpk/Rglpk_0.6-0.tar.gz")
Testing: in R, try require(Rgplk)

ImageMagick - PECL issue - Cannot locate header file MagickWand.h

We are getting this error while installing ImageMagick PECL:
checking ImageMagick MagickWand API configuration program... found in
/usr/local/bin/MagickWand-config checking if ImageMagick version is at
least 6.2.4... found version 6.8.6 Q16 checking for MagickWand.h
header file... configure: error: Cannot locate header file
MagickWand.h ERROR: `/root/tmp/pear/imagick/configure --with-imagick'
failed extension imagick.so installed in /usr/local/lib/php.ini
/usr/local/bin/php does not have a php.ini Tidying
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/php/53/etc/php.ini... No changes
Any idea how to fix this ?
This thread is old, but I solved this issue today on a Centos 7 by installing ImageMagick-devel package:
yum install ImageMagick-devel
Hope this helps.
Steps:
apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
/opt/lampp/bin/pecl install imagick
gedit /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini
add "extension=imagick.so" to php.ini
Probably its looking for the file MagickWand.h and unable to see that file in the defined location. Try these steps
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.1.0RC2.tgz
tar zxf imagick-3.1.0RC2.tgz
Edit the file imagick-3.1.0RC2/config.m4 line number 55.
Make changes like this, from
if test -r $WAND_DIR/include/ImageMagick/wand/MagickWand.h;
to
if test -r $WAND_DIR/include/ImageMagick-6/wand/MagickWand.h;
Note this difference made in the imagick version number. After that try the conventional installation procedures
cd imagick-3.1.0RC2
phpize
./configure
make
make install
Perhaps this http://thomas.bindzus.me/2013/08/11/building-pecl-imagick-for-php-5-5-1-on-centos-6-4/ can be of some help to others.
The solution described by Leo Prince almost worked for me, just had to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and perhaps that's just my server setup which isn't as perfect as it should be.
Here is what I did step-by-step (I'm running CentOS 6.4, Apache 2.4.6, and PHP 5.5.1):
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.1.0RC2.tgz
tar zxf imagick-3.1.0RC2.tgz
cd imagick-3.1.0RC
phpize
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
./configure –with-imagick
make
make install
echo extension=imagick.so > /etc/php.d/imagick.ini
service httpd restart
php -m | grep imagick
First run following commands
1. "WHM Home » Software » Rebuild RPM Database"
2. yum install ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel
3. yum install pcre-devel
Then go to
Go to WHM -> Software -> Module Installers -> PHP Pecl (manage). On the
box below “Install a PHP Pecl” enter “imagick” and click “Install Now”
button – that’s all. Restart Apache.
Above steps worked for me.

OpenCV binary deployment (Linux)

In the institute we use Scientific Linux 5 on the cluster and I need to deploy an app that uses a modern OpenCV distribution (2.3.1 or 2.4.0). I don't have root privileges on the cluster.
Essentially, how do I package all the dynamic binary dependencies of ffmpeg (and hopefully x264), opencv so that I can xcopy-deploy my app?
I have a working installation of OpenCV 2.3.1 on Ubuntu. If there was a way to controllably load the executable and copy along all the dynamic dependencies, I could use it.
Thanks,
Vadim
You don't need to install OpenCV in the computers if you don't have permission to do so.
Place the OpenCV libraries and it's dependencies somewhere in the system and before you execute your application make sure you adjust LD_LIBRARY_PATH to add these paths.
To retrieve the list of dependencies of a certain binary application/library, use ldd. You might be interested in reading this post: Copying shared library dependencies
1) Install GCC 4.7.3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
2) Install CMake 2.8.10.1
sudo apt-get install cmake cmake-curses-gui
3) Download OpenCV 2.4.5
cd ~/Downloads
tar -xf opencv-2.4.5.tar.gz
cd opencv-2.4.5
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j4
sudo make install
cd ../..
rm -rf opencv-2.4.5*
OpenBR uses OpenCV for face recognition. A clear documentation is available to install OpenBR,Here's the link!

Javac not installed with openjdk-6-jdk

I have been trying some different java compilers over the weekend and decided to stick with javac this morning. I then proceeded to clean up the mess that was caused by my testing and removed every last trace of java and did a fresh 'apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk' after autoremove and autoclean.
The following weirdness was then encountered:
tarskin#5-PARA-11-0120:~$ javac
The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages:
* openjdk-6-jdk
* ecj
* gcj-4.4-jdk
* gcj-4.6-jdk
* gcj-4.5-jdk
* openjdk-7-jdk
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
I had allready installed openjdk but i tried it anyhow yielding:
tarskin#5-PARA-11-0120:~$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
[sudo] password for tarskin:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
openjdk-6-jdk is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
tarskin#5-PARA-11-0120:~$
I know i must be doing something stupid but I have no idea what, if anyone else could give a pointer in the right direction that would be very much appreciated...
Cheers
EDIT: Found some other weird aspects about the 'new' instance of my java distro, it doesn't seem to recognise for example 'Pattern' or 'Matcher' that should be coming from the regex import shrugs.
TL;DR: install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
I had a similar issue on Fedora, but used rpm -q -l to list the contents of the (pre-installed) java-1.6.0-openjdk package, and discovered that it doesn't include javac. It is in fact only a JRE, not a JDK, as implied by the installation instructions on http://openjdk.java.net/install/ . To get javac, I installed java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel . Not exactly what I expected, because the usual packaging conventions would indicate that is the package for doing openjdk development (i.e., working on the JVM), not for developing programs with it.
Basically, openjdk's package naming doesn't follow either standard Java conventions (would require calling it a JRE somewhere), or standard Linux packaging conventions (using -devel indicates it is used for developing the package w/o -devel itself).
As per http://openjdk.java.net/install/, to install the OpenJDK-6 JRE only:
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
To install the full JDK:
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
Check /etc/alternatives and /usr/bin. One or both will contain links to old Java versions which you had installed. When those links are broken, you can get the error message above.
To update the links after installing a new version of Java, try update-alternatives
First to check if javac is installed try to look for that file:
1. locate javac
2. or find / -name javac
And also you can check at this website with instrucions on how to install java on Ubuntu (i suppose you are on ubuntu):
http://openjdk.java.net/install/
You can also check:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/openjdk-6-jdk/filelist for the files installed by the pacakge, and you can notice that javac should be installed.
Maybe you also need to run:
Open the terminal and run this command to install OpenJDK 7.0 on Ubuntu Oneiric:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
