ERROR running audacity.SlackBuild script
 
Hi:

I'm trying to install Audacity to upload podcasts for Linux.

The first run of the audacity.SlackBuild script gave me an error and asked if I had wxWidgets installed. I didn't so I installed wxWidgets. After wxWidgets was installed I had this message.

Code:

The installation of wxWidgets is finished.  On certain
 platforms (e.g. Linux) you'll now have to run ldconfig
 if you installed a shared library and also modify the
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) environment variable.
 
 wxWidgets comes with no guarantees and doesn't claim
 to be suitable for any purpose.
 
 Read the wxWindows Licence on licencing conditions

I didn't modify anything and I allowed default settings during installation and didn't install a shared lib.

On the second run of the audacity.SlackBuild script, it ran for a good 15 minutes giving me another error.
I've never had errors while running a SlackBuild script till now.

Code:

/usr/lib64/../lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0: undefined reference to `gst_is_initialized'

Can someone explain what the error means and what I need to do to satisfy what went wrong in make?

I think you need wxPython

Thanks, I'll install it tomorrow and see if the script runs w/o error.

You may want to remove wxWidgets first

Thanks Drakeo.

When I looked at that SlackBuild page yesterday I didn't see wxPython.
It's better to install things during the day when I'm sharp.

I'm off to install wxPython than I'll re-run the SlackBuild script for Audacity.
bb to let you know how it goes.

Between you and I audacity in slackbuilds is just the basic. I been building and using that program for sometime now. To be honest I never just build it the way it is in slackbuilds I always build it when I am building all the stuff for my studio. That includes the kitchen sink. As for gstreamer your missing gst-bad gst-ugly gst-ffmpeg.
wxGTK and wxPython must not be installed together. as per http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/libraries/wxGTK/

I really find running sqg in sbopkg. https://github.com/sbopkg/sbopkg/blo...oc/contrib/sqg
it will really help you.

Unless I'm mistaken wxGTK is not installed. I didn't find it in my packages list.

Code:

bash-4.2# slackpkg search wxgtk

Looking for wxgtk in package list. Please wait... DONE

No package name matches the pattern.

Thanks for telling me about those libraries that I didn't have. I had on idea.
I haven't used 'sqg in sbopkg' before. Thanks for the link.

What I don't really understand is why you're getting libwebkitgtk related messages? AFAIK, libwebkitgtk is not a dependency of audacity. I just built audacity in my 14.1 system (no libwebkitgtk installed) without any problems. :scratch:

In any case, libwebkitgtk appears to be complaining about not finding gstreamer. Which is weird, because gstreamer is part of stock Slackware. But this is just a wild guess, I'm not really sure what's going on here, sorry...

I have Voice Recognition Software installed and I'm guessing that one of the libraries for Simon or the dictionaries might be dependent upon libwebkitgtk. Might also be a lib that HTK needs to work.
Simon uses engine libraries (gtk) and other libraries for multipule dictionaries.

slackpkg search only checks official slackware packages. Try
Code:

ls /var/log/packages/ | grep -i wxgtk
instead.

Ztcoracat 12-12-2015 08:26 PM

I'll try that willysr; hope it works.

Bash returned nothing for wxgtk:

Sadly removing webkitgtk and re-running the script only returned more errors.

I looked up what ld returned 1 exit status. It's the consequence of previous errors.

I could be wrong but I think Simon is dependent on all of the gtk libraries and I wouldn't want to rm all of them.

Any ideas?

Drakeo:

I downloaded sbopkg and unzipped it.

Code:

bash-4.2# sbopkg -h
bash: sbopkg: command not found

Do I just need to run the sbopkg.SlackBuild?
(remember this is new to me; I've never used it)

Ztcoracat 12-12-2015 10:44 PM

Ok something is very wrong.
I ran the SlackBuild script to re-install webkitgtk.

Since executing this as root:
Code:

./webkitgtk.SlackBuild
The terminal has been running for over an hour with this message.

Code:

I'll try Ctrl c and see if it stops it.

Ztcoracat 12-12-2015 10:46 PM

What did all of that code mean?

Holding down Ctrl + c stopped the terminal.

willysr 12-12-2015 11:05 PM

before that, please remove any wxGTK, webkitgtk, webkitgtk3 or wxGTK3 if they are installed on your machine

That is part of the build process which indeed takes some time to complete (depending on your build machine specs, it can be few hours long)
CTRL+C will break the compilation

Download the package from https://github.com/sbopkg/sbopkg/rel...arch-1_wsr.tgz
use installpkg sbopkg-0.37.1-noarch-1_wsr.tgz

first, you need to sync the mirror

use sqg to generate queue for your packages : sqg -p <package-name> or for all packages: sqg -a
then you just issue sbopkg -i <package-name>
if it has multiple dependencies, it will ask for Queue (Q). Select it and all deps will be installed as well

see my blogpost in my earlier comment for more info

I think I get how it works-

  Using original .info file
  Using original SlackBuild file
  No build options selected.

Pre-check complete.

Do you wish to proceed based on the search results above? Packages not
found will be skipped during the process.

I think willysr pointed out the first thing you need to figure out... how did you install wx-gtk (since it is installed in /usr/local/, that typically means that you compiled it from source without using a SlackBuild)? Then we need to figure out how to remove it so you can install other software.

colorpurple21859 12-14-2015 07:25 PM

What version of wxpython did you install? I just recently reinstalled audacity on slackware-current and first went with the most current version of wxpython-3.0.2.0 and ran into problems. I don't remember what it was just that I end up using wxpython-2.8.12.1(slackbuilds version) to get audacity to work.

Back in October I installed a large amount of dependencies for "Simon" which included lots of tar.bz's (including everything for gtk and htk)that I compiled from src.

-::-wxgtk is not installed, I removed it. To be certain I ran 'ls /var/log/packages | grep -i wxgtk'and bash returned an empty field. To clarify I pulled up my pkg list in the konsole and checked twice for wxgtk; it doesn't exist.-::-

If I have to rm pkgs that necessary for Simon run I'd rather due w/o Audacity as I have invested the past 3 months in getting Simon to run properly.

willysr 12-14-2015 08:03 PM

if you install it from source, then it will not be shown at /var/log/packages since only packages created in native Slackware format that will be stored there

Drakeo 12-14-2015 08:11 PM

problem is you need to stay focused on one problem. If you want to make audacity priority then I would go back to basics and reinstall all the base libraries from the 14.1 install disk and update those that are in patches. you seem to have many broken lib links. if you your not running multilib then I would reinstall "l"
then upgrade your "patches" at that point you should have the base links back.
make sure your using the correct sbopkg repo.
Thats a start.

To reinstall all of the base libraries I would just use slackpkg for that right?

Or would I throw in the Slackware 14.1 CD and use pkgtool?

As willysr pointed out, if it is showing up in /usr/local/, then it was probably compiled manually using ./configure && make && make install. This does not create a Slackware package and does not allow pkgtool, /var/log/packages/, or any other portion of the package manager to be aware of its files. For the package manager to be aware of it, you'd either need to use a SlackBuild or compile it and have it installed into a directory that you then run makepkg on (which is effectively what a SlackBuild does). Have a look in /usr/local/lib/ and see what is in there (since the error states libwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0.so exists there).

You could also run locate wx_gtk to see what it returns.

Once we get wx_gtk removed, then the rest of the process should hopefully go smoothly.

Thank you for explaining that. I get the difference between the 2 types of installation going into different directories now.

I looked in /usr/local/lib and I did not find wxgtk. I did find a directory marked "wx" in /usr/local/lib/wx/include/and it contained /gtk2-unicode-3.0. I also looked in /usr/local/bin/ and the only thing remotely close is wx-config which has a target link to: al/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-3.0.

Code:

bash-4.2$ locate wx_gtk
locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old
bash-4.2$

first, you need to uninstall all those wx* that came from source
extract wxWidgets and run
Code:

./configure
make uninstall

please make sure all wx* files in /usr/local/ are removed before attempting to try to install wxPython and audicity

Do you turn your computer off at night? Because I believe updatedb runs at like 4AM every day. You could try running updatedb manually as root, then after it has finished indexing everything, try the locate command again.

However, willysr's advice should likely cover the complete removal of wx-gtk.

One of the folders in the /usr/local/include/wx-3.0/ contains a gtk folder with libraries that are like little engines that run 'Simon'.If I'm not mistaken the gtk libraries for the graphical control element are responsible for running Simon's GUI.
If I remove wx-3.0 Simon most likely would fail and I don't want to do that.

Mr. knudfl spent a lot of time teaching me how to build and compile and install gtk, htk and other dependencies in order to get Simon installed. I don't want to wreck the good that I have.

If there's another way?

If not I'll have to do w/o Audacity.

Yes, I shut down the pc at night.

I could update the data base this weekend.

If that's your choice then i'm afraid i can't help you further on this issue

my advice is NOT to mix applications compiled from source and from SlackBuild script.

Got it. Mixing is not good I understand now.-:)
Thank you willysr for your time and assistance.

To reinstall all of the base libraries I would just use slackpkg for that right?

Or would I throw in the Slackware 14.1 CD and use pkgtool?
I just use slackpkg.
I build custom programs but I always use a build script the package manager will save you every time.
especially when backing out of a programs install. But it does leave some empty folders.
you can throw the cdrom in and point slackpkg mirror to the cdroms slackware64/.
or extract the cdrom some where and point the slackpkg mirror to it file:///to/my/extracted/dvd.

True, it does leave some empty folders but they can go in the trash.

Is this right? (never tried it before that's why I'm asking)
Code:

slackpkg install base L
