The easiest way to install ImageMagick on a Mac system (Snow Leopard) is to download and install MacPorts:
http://www.macports.org/install.php
After installing MacPorts via the package installer just enter
sudo port install ImageMagick
and that’s it.
Sometimes installing Java can be as if someone stabs you hundreds of pencils in the ass. I had trouble to install the Sun Java6 JDK after updating to Ubuntu 10.04.
I just tried to install some Python package with easy_install and got the following error:
Python.h: No such file or directory
Installing of the Python development headers solved the problem. I just executed:
sudo apt-get install python2.6-dev
To get the best version of the apt-package search for it using e.g.
sudo apt-cache search python
I’ve gotten this error after i’ve installed ImageMagick (from source) and RMagick (using gem) on my Debian system
libMagickCore.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory – /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.8.0/lib/RMagick2.so
To get rid of this error i executed
ldconfig /usr/local/lib
Change hostname on Debian
I wanted to change the hostname on my Debian Etch installation. The following worked:
sudo vi /etc/hostname
Change the hostname and save file and then
sudo /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start
install Erlang and Mochiweb under Ubuntu
First of all we install necessary components and start with the Erlang installation:
sudo apt-get build-dep erlang
sudo apt-get install java-gcj-compat java-gcj-compat-dev
Then we download the source of Erlang (newest versions are available here: http://erlang.org/download.html). I took the R12B-5 release.
wget http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_R12B-5.tar.gz
Extract
tar xfvz otp_src_R12B-5.tar.gz
Configure (choose your favorite directory for the Erlang installation, here: /usr/local/erlang), build and install it:
cd otp_src_R12B-5
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/erlang
sudo make
sudo make install
Now the Mochiweb part
We checkout the newest Mochiweb source using subversion (if not installed yet. Install subversion using sudo apt-get install subversion).
svn checkout http://mochiweb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ mochiweb
cd mochiweb
sudo make
apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
