Linux 4.0 b2 under Mandriva 2007

John Duchek · Post by **John Duchek** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 8:16 pm

I installed it and it seems to run ok. However I cannot compile anything. Whenever I try I get:

Line 0: Duplicated Library command: CallCFunction() (in libraries LibraryExtension and Libary)

Even if no program is present and I run compile, I get that message. How do I get this corrected?

Hi!

Seems like you have mixed up different PB Versions! Is it possible that you had beta 1 and just replaced the beta 2 files in the pb directory? I had the same error with MDV 2006 when I made the upgrade from Pb-beta1 to beta2.
So, please check your PB installation and make sure, that you have the right urpmi-sources (so that you can Install all the dev-packs you need to run PB)

Is it working yet?

That is exactly what I did. I installed it from the purebasic site and just copied the files over the beta 1. I didn't know I could get it in a rpm installed under urpmi-sources. Where can I go to do that? (Or how do I accomplish that?)
I guess I don't completely understand the urpmi system.

You won't get PureBasic as an RPM.

I meant, you should check vie urpmi that all the needed files for PureBasic are on your machine. Without the libstdc++6, gtk-devel, sdl-devel, ... PureBasic will never work.

But the error you have seems like you copied the new PB Version(B2) over an old, existing PureBasic(B1) installation.
You have to whipe the complete PureBasic directory and reinstall PureBasic Beta 2 from Scratch. This should help.

I had all of the dependencies so I just deleted the purebasic directory, and reran the decompression to get an unviolated copy of Beta 2 and it runs fine now. Thanks for your help. Trying to copy the beta2 over the beta1 was the problem.

Thanks,
John

I'm trying Mandriva 2007 too now.
Love the 3D desktop hehehe, very cool.
But, right now I'm download updates. Been doing that all bloody day. 1632 MB of updates. That is more then Windows XP, including all the updated files that has EVER been released for it. Maaannnnnn ZZzzzzz

You forget, that you do not only update your Operating System! You UPDATE all the programs on you machine.
If you would simple update your OS, a new kernel would be engouh...

Never forget that Linux mostly comes in "Distributions" - that means that you have 98% of the demanded Software you work with already is on board, after installation.
Imagine how long it could take to update your M$-Windows + all the software on it in one Download!

Compared to a M$-Installation this is fabulous! After every M$ installation I have to spend a day our more searching for programs on CDs, the Web, ....

M$ not even comes with a C compiler. No make, no ls, no ifup, no grep. No python, no perl, no ruby, no c++, no mono, no GTK, no QT, and so on.

I do have 2 OS on my notebook: a WinXP-Home edition and a Sam Linux 2006.R3. Both need about 4-5 GB on HD-Space.
But I didn't need to configure Sam a lot. Nearly every tool I need, was on the installation CD-Rom, the rest is a simple "apt-get install $PROG-NAME".
