[04:07] <Xoris^> soundray, what problems, the same error you get with that program or what? note that i put everything on the same line but you need a couple of newlines in the actual .c file
[04:11] <soundray> Xoris^: I put newlines before the int main, after the { and before the }
[04:12] <Xoris^> soundray: that's correct... what about the error
[04:12] <soundray> Xoris^: I get "incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'printf'
[04:13] <Xoris^> soundray: ah, erm, that's my fault, you need to also #include <stdio.h>
[04:15] <soundray> Xoris^: ah okay, it compiles now and puts out 10.3 when run
[04:15] <soundray> Xoris^: no message during the compilation
[04:16] <Xoris^> soundray: then it compiled... if you run a.out, you should get "10" printed. anyway it means your libraries themselves are probably fine
[04:17] <soundray> Xoris^: yes, so far so good
[04:19] <soundray> Xoris^: fwiw, I've pasted the whole error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32924
[04:21] <soundray> !clone
[04:21] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[04:22] <soundray> I guess I'll do that ^^. I'm desperate enough. Even though it would be nice to know what the issue is, because it'll certainly crop up again...
[04:23] <Xoris^> soundray: can you pastebin that .c file too?
[04:24] <Xoris^> soundray: i'm not even sure that will help, to be honest
[04:25] <Xoris^> by the way, bear with me as my connection right now is extremely slow and i have some 30 seconds lag and can barely reach the web
[04:26] <soundray> Xoris^: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32926  - I'm patient & grateful for your input
[04:27] <Xoris^> soundray: try compiling that file manually (perhaps copy it somewhere else in your home first) with gcc -lm airy.c
[04:28] <Xoris^> soundray: and find out what command line is being used by the Makefile to compile it (something like grep airy Makefile if there is a Makefile in that directory, otherwise go to the root of the source tree and "find Makefile | xargs -n 1 grep airy")
[04:32] <Xoris^> soundray: on my own machine, compiling it manually result in obvious linker errors, since all those "bess*" function it uses do not exist, but no fabs() or sqrt() problems
[04:33] <soundray> Xoris^: same here, no fabs/sqrt related stuff
[04:33] <Xoris^> soundray: then it must be something in the Makefile, for sure...
[04:33] <soundray> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32928 for the find/grep output...
[04:34] <soundray> Xoris^: I think you've given me a valuable hint there. I'll strip it down in the cmake step and compile only the bare stuff on both machines, and see if that works.
[04:36] <Xoris^> soundray: the output there is not very useful, because it just uses "make" again... so you need to find where in the makefile (and in which makefile) the rule for making '.o' files is
[04:42] <soundray> Xoris^: I really think that the issue is in the Makefiles now. Thank you so much for your time, I've got something to try out now.
[04:44] <Xoris^> soundray: well you'd still need to find out why the makefiles are different though (if they are). but it's not unlikely that the configure script is not too well-made, and got confused by some very trivial difference between the two machines
[04:46] <soundray> Xoris^: indeed, it's not been written with much attention to portability.
[07:42] <CheeseGardener> soundray, are you here?
[07:42] <soundray> yes
[07:42] <soundray> Where did you save your iso?
[07:43] <CheeseGardener> /media/ExHD/Linux Backup ISOs/
[07:44] <CheeseGardener> aptoncd-20070806-CD1-1.iso
[07:44] <CheeseGardener> that's the filename
[07:44] <soundray> CheeseGardener: in the terminal, do a 'cd /media/ExHD/Linux\ Backup\ ISOs'
[07:45] <soundray> Got it?
[07:45] <CheeseGardener> yeah
[07:45] <soundray> Do a 'pwd'
[07:45] <soundray> What does it say?
[07:46] <CheeseGardener> No such file or directory
[07:46] <soundray> Don't copy the quote marks
[07:47] <soundray> What's going on?
[07:47] <CheeseGardener> ok I got it to work
[07:47] <soundray> What does it say?
[07:47] <CheeseGardener> by pulling the folder after cd
[07:47] <CheeseGardener> steve@steve-laptop:/media/ExHD/Linux Backup ISOs$
[07:47] <soundray> CheeseGardener: look, you're wasting my time if you do something other than I asked you to.
[07:48] <CheeseGardener> I thought that's what you wanted me to do.
[07:48] <CheeseGardener> Sorry.
[07:48] <CheeseGardener> I'll do it again then
[07:48] <soundray> Now do a
[07:48] <soundray> NO
[07:48] <soundray> Listen
[07:48] <CheeseGardener> oh ok
[07:48] <soundray> Now do a 'sudo mount -o loop aptoncd-20070806-CD1-1.iso /mnt && echo SUCCESS'
[07:49] <soundray> What does it say?
[07:49] <CheeseGardener> SUCCESS
[07:49] <soundray> Now do a 'cd /mnt ; ls' (don'
[07:49] <soundray> Now do a 'cd /mnt ; ls' (don't copy the ' marks)
[07:50] <CheeseGardener> ok, I did the one with the ' marks
[07:50] <CheeseGardener> and it just puts me at a blank prompt
[07:51] <soundray> CheeseGardener: I said DON'T use the quote marks. They are just there to indicate the beginning and end of what you're supposed to type.
[07:51] <soundray> CheeseGardener: do a Ctrl-C and try again
[07:51] <CheeseGardener> ok
[07:51] <CheeseGardener> it worked now
[07:53] <soundray> Did it list your .deb files?
[07:53] <CheeseGardener> aptoncd.info  Packages      Packages.gz         Release
[07:53] <CheeseGardener> packages      Packages.bz2  README.diskdefines
[07:53] <CheeseGardener> that's what it did
[07:53] <soundray> Do a 'cd packages ; ls'
[07:54] <CheeseGardener> now it lists them
[07:55] <soundray> Do a 'sudo cp *.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/'
[07:56] <CheeseGardener> ok... it brought me to a blank prompt
[07:56] <CheeseGardener> wait..
[07:56] <CheeseGardener> it brought my back to the same prompt again... and gave me some sort of error message that disappeared
[07:56] <CheeseGardener> are you there?
[07:56] <soundray> Yes
[07:56] <CheeseGardener> ok  I thought something happened with GAIM
[07:56] <CheeseGardener> when I type that, it does nothing
[07:56] <soundray> Can you scroll up to see the message?
[07:56] <CheeseGardener> it has a blank prompt and then goes to the normal:
[07:57] <CheeseGardener> steve@steve-laptop:/mnt/packages$
[07:57] <soundray> CheeseGardener: okay, it has worked probably. Now you want to get a list of those packages so you can apt-get install them, right?
[07:58] <CheeseGardener> um... I thought the CD would install them?
[07:58] <soundray> CheeseGardener: it would, if it was a proper CD. Since you've stored it as an iso, we have to use a different procedure.
[07:59] <CheeseGardener> ok.
[07:59] <soundray> ls | cut -d "_" -f 1 | tr "\n" " " | xargs -n 1 apt-get install
[08:00] <CheeseGardener> alright. You know, I think I'm just going to manually install some of these things.
[08:00] <soundray> That's the command that will do that. Make sure you're still in /mnt/packages/ and you type absolutely every character in that line. Spaces are vital
[08:00] <CheeseGardener> I'll save the command
[08:00] <CheeseGardener> if I need it someday :)
[08:01] <soundray> Okay, good luck. Dinner time for me now.
[08:01] <CheeseGardener> Thanks though :)
[08:01] <CheeseGardener> cya soundray.
