Want to install CUPS on Sun 10 VM. Not able to install GCC 3.4.6 version

piyush128k · 06-06-2012, 05:01 PM

Sun is like some alien language for me. I don't have any books or so but searching on web and downloading manuals is how i am learning. Rather it is on the job i learn. Summer job that is. I was stuck for a long time to get the to the OK Prompt during the install of Sun 10. Now i am trying to install CUPS and am sure i will get stuck many places. Right now i have download gcc-3.4.6.tar.gz and not sure how to install it. On ther web people have given diff command and some say i have to create directories and some say i dont. Getting confused.. Please help. What are the commands? i have some but just want to interact from professional

I have created the gcc folder with path as usr/lib/gcc and now i tped the command tar -xvf gcc-3.4.6.tar.gz and gives me the error:- tar:directory checksum error.
When i do #which gcc is says: no gcc in /usr/sbin /use/bin.
What does it mean..i know it is not installed but should i created the directories in /usr/sbin and usr/bin or will the gcc command to install gcc do everything.
pkginfo -x | grep -i gcc gives:-
SUNWgcc gcc - The GNU C compiler
SunWgccruntime GCC Runtime Libraries
However when i types :- #pkgchk -lp /usr/sfw/bin/gcc gave:-
NOTE: couildn't lock the package database
pathername: /usr/sfw/bin/gcc
Typed: linked file
Source of the link:../../../usr/sfw/bin/i386-pc-solaris2.10-gcc-3.4.3
Referenced by the following packages:
SUNWgcc
Current status:installed
But #gcc-v gives:-
gcc:not found

Now is it installed in advanced but a lower version or am i really loosing it?
Am not either sure what is the actual command. Any help people?

OKAY!

This is what i did from my common sense...and hope i get more...hehehe
#cd / (i typed cd / so i can make sure that i am at the root directory)
#su ( as i typed "su", (super user) it immediately asked for the password and i gave it. it got me back to the # )
Then i types the two commands below:-
#gunzip gcc-3.4.6.tar.gz (hit enter...it did something positive)
#tar -xvf gcc-3.4.6.tar (hit enter and this one really did something positive for a real long time)
I hope GCC is installed but when i do the below command
#which gcc ( this is what is give in return) :- no gcc /usr/sbin /usr/bin
Anyway, I think it was installed though the command above says, "NO IT IS NOT INSTALLED YOU FOOL!" hehehe
Now it is time to install the filter file like PNG, JPEG, TIFF, ZLIB....and the other thing is that how to get"./configure" to run.
Lets see what i able to come up with.

I am not sure if your install of Solaris 10 came with a compiler, because I do not know what clusters you installed. If there was no compiler installed, then that means that you won't be able to compile gcc, which it appears you are trying to do. I would suggest using the packages on Sun Freeware to install GCC; it will make your life immensely easier. You may also be able to find CUPS on there, but I am not sure about that as I don't use CUPS.

http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexintel10.html

Just make sure that you install all of the prereq's for gcc, and any pertinent prereq's for the prereq's. I know it sounds kind of confusing, but just follow the bouncing ball. Every package on Sun Freeware lists the prereq packages that it needs, and even includes the links to those packages. You will also need to update your path appropriately:

Code:

$export PATH=$PATH;/usr/sfw/bin;/usr/sfw/sbin

And you may need to update your LD Library path as well:

Code:

root@calvin ~]# crle

Configuration file [version 4]: /var/ld/ld.config  
  Platform:     32-bit LSB 80386
  Default Library Path (ELF):   /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
  Trusted Directories (ELF):    /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure  (system default)

Command line:
  crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib


root@calvin ~]# crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/sfw/lib

Also make sure that you are downloading the packages, and not the source code. You will be unable to compile code since you don't have a compiler (at least thats what it seems like)

Some places i have seen on the web that is either wrong or not completely described. I know much description is not there in linux or even programming to take for example. So far there is a folder of gcc 3 4 6 created in the root directory and till now #which gcc gives no gcc in /usr/sbin /usr/bin. Also #gcc --version gives gcc: not found. Am going crazy. #tar -xvf gcc-3.4.6.tar does whole lot of things and at the end says "installed".
GCC should be installed in /usr/sfw/bin and for that you first need to set the path like #PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin. So i did that and ran #tar -xvf gcc-3.4.6.tar but that site also said that it should also be installed in /usr/local/bin and for that u must add the path. Well then i did #PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin and ran #tar -xvf gcc-3.4.6.tar. It sis the same things and i still get #which gcc gives no gcc in /usr/sbin /usr/bin. Also #gcc --version gives gcc: not found. WOW!
I believe "SA" user has replied to my question. Let me take a look on that now.

piyush128k · 06-07-2012, 12:59 PM

just came to know that i was installing wrong gcc version of 3.4.6. I wanted 64 bit so it should be gcc 3.4.3. So re-downloading. Either Windows administration is much easier or because i have worked on it for years whatever it is, this linix and unix why they cannot further simplify things especially in the command prompt and their manuals. I read the actual sun manual..... somethings are not to the point or not mentioned. People who want to migrate to this platforms have difficulties and several questions as compared to what they have been working on. Frustrated..yes I am but it is expected. Human nature when not able to figure out. Either leave or keeping going on. So guess what am i doing....on..and on..and on. Phhmmmwwwppphhh!

piyush128k · 06-07-2012, 01:08 PM

Thanks to "SA" user #crle command...I dont need 64bit. I can continue to stick to gcc 3.4.6. Cool!

# crle

Default Configuration file [version 4]: /var/ld/ld.config => "not found" (REST OF IT BELOW IS THE SAME)
Platform: 32-bit LSB 80386
Default Library Path (ELF): /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
Trusted Directories (ELF): /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure (system default)

Now where in the world and what, before and after, right or wrong, installed or not, am i suppose to do. I am literally going in circles. I dont know what am doing. I know what the command will do but. Having incomplete information is really dangerous.

Can anyone for crying out loud Share with me in to the detail, step by step, word by word, syntax command by command share the steps to install CUPS with every pre-requisite shared and explain. Please don't start like SUN in their manual. " Install this file, that file and now you can finally execute the command for installing CUPS"

I am not trying to prove anything to anyone but myself and i seem to be loosing the grip here but still sitting on my chair and my VMs.

Umm. sorry if this seems abit out of the box but it sure has some chance of working. I can suggest a workaround here. The first thing I would do here is look for a biarly compiler line cint (it is good) but I do not know if it would compile something as complicated as C (assuming you do not have a compiler). I belive with solaris the c compiler is called gas. Gosh, that is why I stick with Linux. If you can work this around I think you have a chance of getting at something. Also make sure that you use the usual man -k comiler etc to make sure if you have any compiler installed.
Hope this helps.
A far as cint is concerned I believe it would be a lot easier compling cups than gcc.

try the following and post the output:

Code:

/bin/find / -name gcc*

You probably do not have gcc in your path, so you will need to specify the full path to gcc, or you will need to update your environment depending on where the find command returns the path to gcc to be., i.e

Code:

$export PATH=$PATH;/usr/sfw/bin;/usr/sfw/sbin

*nix operating systems are more straightforward then windosw IMHO. It takes a little bit of getting used to before things start to make sense. But that is the same no matter what OS you are talking about. I find Windows to be a terribly laid out system, that overcomplicates the simplest things. That is the reason that I always wanted to become a *nix admin, and not a windows admin.

Also if you are only doing VM's, then why are you using solaris 10? are you bound to that distribution? I would say try Open Indiana, which is the open source version of Solaris 11. Installing CUPS on OI is cake:

Code:

$ pkg install pkg:/print/cups@1.4.2-0.151.1.4

that is all you would need to do if using Open Indiana.

User"SA" a Sun 10 Server, which is not able to print to thru CUPS. guys here are not able to figure it out. I took it up. Cant do much on a production server so in the mean while, i said why not install the same version on VM and install CUPS then probably i would get a better understanding and be able to resolve the problem on that production sun 10 server with much less difficulty.

User"SA" a Sun 10 Server, which is not able to print to thru CUPS. guys here are not able to figure it out. I took it up. Cant do much on a production server so in the mean while, i said why not install the same version on VM and install CUPS then probably i would get a better understanding and be able to resolve the problem on that production sun 10 server with much less difficulty.

I am sorry, i told you the wrong way to set the path, you just need to do:

Code:

$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin

That should set your path appropriately. Then run a

Code:

$which gcc

It should then return:

Code:

/usr/sfw/bin/gcc

I mentioned that i did that before and it worked but after you told me the first time hence i did it again and it gave an error if you read my earlier thread. The command you gave was wrong, thats right but i later typed the correct one and had pasted the output. I have done it again. Please check.

This gcc is the default one which was installed when sun 10 was installed but this is not gcc 3.4.6. thats cool. now since this i think proves that the gcc compiler is installed hence i dont need to install the libraries like png, jpeg, tiff, zlib anymore?
Is mmy next step to now execute the cups command package but for that dont i need to use #./configure . This damn thing does not work. Let me check again..
#./configure gives output
./configure: not found
