Re: Problem installing Superkaramba

Do not try to compile what others have already precompiled for you - unless there is a reason as well as sufficient knowledge given ... end of insult, begin of advise: sudo apt-get install superkaramba 8)

Ooops, in this case you have to add the "universe" repositories to the appropriate list (I assumed this for being a default setting - sorry

). In case you feel unsure on how to proceed, just post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and we / I will tell you what to change (and how, if applicable).

Re: Problem installing Superkaramba

First of all, backup the given list, e.g. by sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.orig; then read all comments and remove them afterwards (just to keep the list handier); finally, but most important: from all lines starting with "deb" / "deb-src" remove the leading "#" (therewith "activating" the particular entry) - or simply replace (!) your file's current contents with the following lines:

Code:

deb [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy main restricted
deb-src [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy main restricted
deb [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy-updates main restricted
deb-src [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy-updates main restricted
deb [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy universe
deb-src [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy universe
deb [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb [url]http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] edgy-security main restricted
deb-src [url]http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] edgy-security main restricted
deb [url]http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] edgy-security universe
deb-src [url]http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] edgy-security universe

Having done so, check the list's integrity: sudo apt-get update should run through without any error occurring.

Re: Problem installing Superkaramba

There are two different, although possibly related problems you are facing:

1. Your system's package manager insists on misbehaving ... in order to (hopefully) get this sorted out, please let us have a look at /etc/apt/sources.list as a whole / as you are currently using it.

Originally posted by cyberbuff

configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

2. Your system seems to be lacking of some packages required for manual compilation (from which I strongly discourage anyone new to Linux, just to remind you). To get them, you may try sudo apt-get install build-essential - which may or may not work, depending on the "range" of your first problem.

Re: Problem installing Superkaramba

Just use Automatix.

Is that in the CD?

**firephoto** · Jan 15, 2007, 12:11 AM

Re: Problem installing Superkaramba

All you need to do is enable 'universe' and install 'superkaramba'.

No automatix, building, compiling, or anything special.

This in your sources.list

Code:

# deb [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy universe
# deb-src [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy universe

needs to look like this

Code:

deb [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy universe
deb-src [url]http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] edgy universe

and then you'll need to update, 'sudo apt-get update' or "Fetch Updates" with adept. After that just install superkaramba.

Re: Problem installing Superkaramba
