does libgcrypt-dev comes with ubuntu package manager?

sirpelidor · 04-03-2009, 03:56 AM

hi, tried to download and install libgcrypt-dev but no luck.

when google, all i see is rpm for fc. i also found libgcrypt-1.2.0 from freshmeat. but i'm having trouble compile it by source it was complaining my c++ compiler:
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

do we have libgcrypt11-dev or libgcrypt-dev available for ubuntu?

thank you

Yes, 'libgcrypt11-dev' can be installed with
sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11-dev

( The version is 1.4.1 for 'Ubuntu Intrepid'
and 1.2.4 for 'Ubuntu Hardy' ).

Or use 'Synaptic', the package manager,
where you also can find it with "Search",
which is very convenient to use, if you
do not know the exact package name.

And do not try to compile 'libgcrypt' yourself.
Generally : do not compile anything available
in the package manager .... you should have
access to 28,000 packages in 'Intrepid'.
.....

To solve the problem with the c++ compiler :
Try : sudo apt-get install g++
.....

hi knudfl, i've tried the comment above but it said the package is not available. i'm thinking maybe i don't have the correct Package Source defined in my ubuntu gutsy??

Code:

Package libgcrypt11-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libgcrypt11-dev has no installation candidate

Well, may be 'Gutsy' isn't supported any more ? ?
Suggest : try changing mirror in 'Synaptic'.

Same package name
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libgcrypt11-dev
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/i38...1-dev/download

You can also download it and see, if it can be installed.
.....

'Ubuntu 8.04.(2) Hardy' is the long term supported version.

Knudfl, thank you for your help. just verified my other gutsy at my office this morning. indeed libgcrypt11-dev shows up in apt-get. Looks like it is just my other gusty's package manager source file got corrupted.

good to know. thank you

Sometimes 'sudo apt-get update' will solve an issue like this.

Hi sir,

I try to install libgcrypt but when I perform this command I get an error:

Code:

 sudo apt-get install libgcrypt libgcrypt-devel

the error is

Code:

 Unable to locate package libgcrypt
E: Unable to locate package libgcrypt-devel

Thank you in advance.
