Re: using cmake

Okay.

google: utilDb.c:104: error: too few arguments to function ‘(*dbp)->open’

And you will find that it is probably the Berkeley DB is the problem (source =http://unixadmintalk.com/f22/problem...g-iota-210134/).

apt-cache search libdb4

will give you a couple of hints.

I would give it a shot with

sudo aptitude install libdb4.5 libdb4.5++-dev libdb4.5-dev

to play it safe ;-) Have you tried that errol?

By the way Rog131, how do you accomplish to get those fine links? Can you make html tags in the forum somehow?

*EDIT* By the way check out the requirements at http://www.varp.net/downloads/Readme.txt

errol@errol-linux:/$ apt-cache search libdb4

That's what I get after installing libdb4.5 etc. In fact I got that before as well but tried anyway.

I've been to those forums and site but there aren't answers there, only questions.

The file after typing "make" is still similar to the previous way I showed it. Maybe the problem is one of path. Where could I find the "exe" file of iota?

Re: using cmake

I think it's the /usr/local/include/db41

it probably does not exist.. is it a berkley folder?

*EDIT* it seems that the utilDb.c is buggy

Maybe a ninja guru can help us? ;-)

I will now contact Iota.

Re: using cmake

About iota

Have you tried to contact developer => there is a link in the Freshmeat page - iOta - Default branch

Usually developers are happy of the feedback (even if it is bug messages).

To me, it is looking like syntax error.


There is a rpm package: Index of /downloads/RELEASE-0.7

You can convert rpm packages to .deb packages: How To: Convert any package from one format to another (using "alien")
- note the warnings !



BBC codes

By the way Rog131, how do you accomplish to get those fine links? Can you make html tags in the forum somehow?

Do you mean bbc codes ?

Re: using cmake

Thanks Rog131!!

BBC codes was what I was looking for:

Wikipedia ;-)

*EDIT* Hmm I hate myself for being off topic :-X

Re: using cmake

I contacted iota a few days ago but they didn't reply to me.
gnowak, about the previous reply and question. I'll reply.
There is a berkeley folder. It is on root. So is the iota folder.
I don't know if this is relevant to the operation of the program but all the installation programs and files shows on my home folder or on root and NOT in usr/local etc.
What happens is that there is a folder called berkeley, a folder called iota and parts of each of these programs are in /home/errol.
mmmm.. the plot thickens

Re: using cmake

Don't get harsh on iota. I think we should give them some more time.

[errol]

Re: using cmake

No I'm not harsh on iota, just filling you in on info. I so badly need a program like they made that I'll praise them to the sky when the program finally works.

Re: using cmake

If you are in a hurry, you could try the rpm version.

[errol]

Re: using cmake

I'm not in a hurry. I looked for a program like this for Linux for so long that I will try anything to get it to work.
I will try the rpm version. It comes only (from what I see) as version 0.7 and not 0.8 as the tarball version is. I doubt if this matters. I'll report back when I've done it.

Re: using cmake

ALMOST THERE!!!! But not quite. I installed the rpm version of iota whic is version 0.7. I now have an icon on my menu in the graphics directory. When clicking on the icon it bounces as though it's going to open the app - but NOTHING. It just stops bouncing and ends it's little dance. In the launch panel below it says opening application while the icon bounces. No announcements or notifications - just a stopping of the attempt to open the program.
The same thing happens if I type iota in the run command.
In the directory that was made by the rpm file (iota-o.7) there is an exe file, which there isn't in the iota-0.8 compiled file.
Where do I go from here?

Re: using cmake

Did you convert the rpm file to a deb file? Alien is the program that does this.

[errol]

Re: using cmake

Yes I converted it with alien -k and then did sudo dpkg -i etc and then configured it all. It seemed to go ok but what I described in the previous reply happens.
What now?

Re: using cmake

I tried to convert iota-0.7-1.i586.rpm to .deb:

fakeroot alien iota-0.7-1.i586.rpm

=>
iota_0.7-2_i386.deb generated

Installing...


In the konsole:

iota

/usr/bin/iota: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick-5.5.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hmm ? Searching:

locate libMagick*

/usr/lib/libMagick.so.9.0.0
/usr/lib/libMagick.so.9
/usr/lib/libMagick.a
/usr/lib/libMagick.la
/usr/lib/libMagick.so
/usr/lib/libMagick++.so.9.0.0
/usr/lib/libMagick++.so.9

Trying to fix > using Linux ducktape > symlink

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libMagick.so.9.0.0 /usr/lib/libMagick-5.5.4.so.0

Again:

iota

iota: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Searching:

locate libdb*.so

/usr/lib/libdb-4.5.so
/usr/lib/libdb-4.2.so
/usr/lib/libdb-4.3.so
/usr/lib/libdb-4.4.so

Trying the oldest:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libdb-4.2.so /usr/lib/libdb-4.0.so

iota

iota: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You know

locate libpng.so*

/usr/lib/libpng.so

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng.so /usr/lib/libpng.so.3

=>

iota

cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/tmp/iota.jpg': No such file or directory
iota: symbol lookup error: iota: undefined symbol: db_create

I think that this do not work: Removing iota (purging) and removing symlinks...

Re: using cmake

ROG131 Thanks for trying. I don't know if you read the whole process of installing. Iota needs Imagemagick AND Berkeley DB installed in order to work. If you installed those 2 programs and Iota still didn't work then you are probably correct in assuming that there is a fault. In my case I get the iota exe icon almost working and then fading out, as I described before.
