[SOLVED] Is there /usr/include/proc/readproc.h ?

solarfields · 06-24-2013, 05:20 PM

Hi

I am trying to compile a program that apparently looks for readproc.h , but this is not present on my system. Am I missing something? Is it supposed to be part of procps? I checked Debian and Arch and they both have a /usr/include/proc/readproc.h in libproc-dev and procps-ng packages, respectively.

The program that fails to compile is UGENE. I was going to submit an update (1.11.5 --> 1.12.0) for my ugene.SlackBuild, but this may have to wait... The error that it gives is:

p/moc/release -o _tmp/obj/release/AppResources.o src/globals/AppResources.cpp
src/globals/AppResources.cpp:35:27: fatal error: proc/readproc.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [_tmp/obj/release/AppResources.o] Error 1

Any help will be appreciated. I will write to the developers, too but I am not sure what exactly to ask them...

EDIT: To clarify... version 1.11.5 compiles fine of course. The new version 1.12.0 is the one the breaks.

Well, if you look at the slackbuild (I do so throught sbopkg) it requires a number of packages, namely:
bowtie bwa cap3 clustalw mafft mrbayes ncbi-blast ncbi-bast-plus t_coffee
These may require other packages (unfortunately there is no queue file for ugene!) so be sure you have installed them all (use sbopkg it's quite confortable)

Edit: looking at the readme actually the requiered packages aren't requiered (wired way to do that, I would say wrong way to do that..)
Anyway the package got compiled correctly in my slackware-current (and i don't have readproc.h either) what version of slackware are you using ?

Celyr,

I've looked at the SlackBuild...

These are optional and not needed for the building of the program. UGENE compiles fine without them.

Interesting. Slackware does provide the procps package but Pat doesn't install the header files as do some other distribs.

Here's a patch to Pat's procps.SlackBuild (as used on Slackware 14.0 and -current) which will make sure the package has the
headers. Feel free to send smoke signals Pat's way and let him know about your use-case that required the missing includes.
You can reference this thread if you want.

Thank you mancha+!
I will recompile procps tomorrow, using your patch to include the header files. Let's see how the new version of UGENE compiles against it...

solarfields · 06-25-2013, 01:33 PM

Update!
Using mancha's patch, I recompiled procps on SLackware64 14.0 and after that UGENE 1.12.0 built without any problems. Thanks again! I will therefore mark this as [SOLVED] and start a new thread to ask Pat if he could include the procps headers.
