How to remove g++ 4.1.2 totally - path

I used to install g++ 4.1.2 (from source make install)on my ubuntu 10.04.
Then I find it cover the the original 4.3.3. and change the search path of g++ from /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin,
How can I remove g++4.1.2 totally? I tried make remove.However it do not work.
Btw, how to change g++ path to /usr/bin?

make uninstall is not included/supported in GCC, so you're out of luck. The one thing you can do (leaving a bunch of non-pacakage-manager-tracked files in your filesystem) is reinstall the GCC 4.3.3 package, overwriting existing (4.2.1) files.

Fixing pkg-config using Apple silicon and homebrew

I am working with C++ on an M1 Mac, and I used Time Machine to get my old laptop's data on the new one once I got it. The old laptop was not an Apple silicon MacBook. The problem is that I think this screwed up my homebrew installation, since it changed the default location from /usr/local/Cellar/ to /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ and so now I have two homebrew versions since I installed it again on my new laptop after I got it (since nothing was working with homebrew at first and thought it didn't carry over using Time Machine, oops)
I didn't use homebrew much until recently so I didn't notice, but it has made compiling C++ programs with external libraries very difficult since everything I need is on my new homebrew installation in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ except pkg-config, which when I call it in a bash script or on the command line points to my old homebrew installation.
For example, I have pugixml in my new installation of homebrew and when I enter pkg-config --libs --cflags pugixml
Package pugixml was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pugixml.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pugixml' found
pkg-config finds the libraries in the older homebrew installation just fine
My only alternative is to manually inspect the .pc files in the new homebrew installation and enter the flags in my Makefile. I would prefer not to do this. What's the best way to make sure that pkg-config works correctly? If someone knows how to get the new installation of pkg-config to be used at the command line that would solve all my problems I have right now
edit: I forgot to mention this - when I use the which command and ask which pkg-config it outputs /opt/homebrew/bin/pkg-config. This is sort of confusing since this is the new location
Remove the old (Intel) installation with the official uninstall script.
You have to make it executable with:
chmod +x uninstall.sh
And run it with
./uninstall.sh --path=/usr/local
Then reinstall everything you need on the new M1 version under /opt/homebrew.

Error: yq#3 has been disabled because it is not maintained upstream! How to install a disabled brew Formulae?

I'm trying to install yq#3 on my Mac running brew install yq#3 and I get the error:
Error: yq#3 has been disabled because it is not maintained upstream!
I see that it's there on their website at https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/yq#3#default but it doesn't seem to be supported anymore.
I still need to install it since our projects at work are using this specific version.
The only way that I'm thinking about is downloading the source code, building it myself, and adding it to the path but I'm thinking that there might be a simpler solution.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!
From yq github, you can install a binary by running:
wget https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/download/3.4.1/yq_darwin_amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/yq &&\
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/yq
3.4.1 is the latest 3 version, darwin_amd64 is the Mac package (don't worry about having an Intel machine and installing the package that says AMD, the name comes from something about AMD invented the 64-bit instruction set).

Apt-get install package for libmapscript-ruby1.8 not behaving as anticipated

TL;DR: How can I get the right package for libmapscript-ruby1.8 on my system?
Context:
We have found an open source Rails 2.3 app that solves an internal tool problem.
https://github.com/timwaters/mapwarper
Additional instructions
https://github.com/l34marr/mapwarper/blob/master/README#L125
I've some experience with Rails but am just learning about the Ubuntu eco-system and apt-get.
Problem:
The perceived problem is that one of the external libraries (mapscript) is not functioning.
Further detail:
The perceived source of the problem is that apt-get install libmapscript-ruby1.8 does not seem to load a ruby1.8 version of mapscript. Instead it loads to /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.9.1/x86_64-linux/mapscript.so via dependencies of libmapscript-ruby1.8
So when the Rails app links to the installed mapscript.so, it breaks, since the syntax is presumably different between mapscript.so build for 1.8.7 and 1.9.1.
Example error (note 1.9.1 version of mapscript.so is copied into 1.8.7 folder here)
TypeError (wrong argument type swig_runtime_data (expected Struct)):
/home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p374/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/mapscript.so
Contact with the application creator has been largely fruitless so far, since they have not encountered this specific issue.
There is a rubygem but it seems to also be for 1.9.1
https://github.com/sourcepole/ruby_mapscript
Is there some apt-get magic that I am missing? I've just read that something called backports exists but don't know if that is a solution.
I know it is an old threat, but in case someone else got this problem, I solved the problem like this:
(I used this github page: https://github.com/normanb/mapserver/tree/master/mapserver/mapscript)
Install old libgif
1.) apt install unzip libgdal-dev swig libproj-dev proj-data proj-bin
2.) wget "http://launchpadlibrarian.net/90361644/libgif4_4.1.6-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb"
3.) sudo dpkg -i libgif4_4.1.6-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb
4.) wget "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/giflib/libgif-dev_4.1.6-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb"
5.) sudo dpkg -i libgif-dev_4.1.6-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb
Install old GD
6.) wget "www.boutell.com/gd/http/gd-2.0.33.tar.gz"
7.) unzip
8.) go to folder
9.) ./configure
10.) make
11.) make install
Install webserver
12.) Download zip from https://github.com/normanb/mapserver/
13.) unzip mapserver-master.zip
14.) Goto folder mapserver-master/mapserver/
15.) ./configure --with-wmsclient --with-proj --with-gdal --with-postgis (choose the options you need for your mapscript)
16.) make
For ruby mapscript: (for others chech out https://github.com/normanb/mapserver/tree/master/mapserver/mapscript)
16.) ruby extconf.rb
17.) make
18.) make install
Please note that there is a bug in set filter and you need to comment the filter like so "\"id = 123\"" (https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/3983)
Ultimately, it appears that the packages are (for my intent and purposes) broken.
Paired with a Debian guru, who basically installed Mapserver on the system in order to compile and generate the correct mapscript.so
He recommended I get in touch with the various package maintainers and outline the problems that I encountered.

Having installed wxWidgets-devel with MacPorts, what should I add to PATH?

I've used Macports on Snow Leopard to install wxWidgets-devel, hoping then to succesfully
install wxHaskell...
I have to Check your path to make sure you are using your wxWidgets and not the default Mac one"
port contents wxWidgets-devel says I have a lot of wx stuff installed
in /opt/local/bin (wx-config, wxrc)
and /opt/local/include/wx-2.9/wx...
and /opt/local/lib/libwx_baseu...
What should I add to PATH?
You should have wx-config script available after installation. Try to run
wx-config --cxxflags
or
wx-config --libs
The first one returns all parameters for compiler, second one - for linker.

CMake can't find FFMPEG in custom install path

I am compiling a dependency for a project on Ubuntu 10.10, and instead of having it install to /usr/local by default, I am instead installing it to /tmp/stage/usr/local. How do I go about informing CMake of the location of this custom installed dependency when I call it to generate the build files for said project.
I am running CMake 2.8.1, and I have tried to set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH on the cmake command line, like so
cmake -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/tmp/stage/usr/local
but this doesn't seem to make a difference - the project doesn't seem to detect the dependency.
Also, if it matters, the project in question is OpenCV 2.2, and the dependency in question is FFMPEG...
I figured out how to fix my problem, and trying to point CMake at the appropriate install location isn't the issue.
Apparently, CMake is unable to find the pkg-config files for FFMPEG (i.e. libavcodec.pc, libavdevice.pc, etc.) that tell it where the FFMPEG headers and libraries are located. In a typical install scenario, these files would be located at /usr/lib/pkgconfig. However because of the custom install location, they are instead located at /tmp/stage/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.
So that CMake could find these files, I had to add the following environment variable:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tmp/stage/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
After which point, OpenCV built against FFMPEG as expected.
