The same thing happened when trying to install gnome and a few other programs. What's happening here, and how do I fix it?

Have you done a system update lately (pacman -Syu). If so it looks like the mirror you are using is out of date. What version of gcc do you have?
The gcc package split into gcc-libs and gcc. You are only getting the update of gcc-libs and thus the resulting file conflicts with the old gcc package.

Installing some packages

Hi guys i'm a new user, i've installed some packages dowloaded from sunfreeware and sun.com with the command pkgadd -d "name" .
more packages such as gcc make and some library but when i'm send the command "gcc".."make" etc... from terminal it sends "command not found".
i've search this problem in some forum and maybe i've find a solution, "a symbolic link".
example "ln -s /opt/sfw/bin/gcc /usr/ucb/gcc"
with this method the gcc command work.
my question is, every time that i make an installation with pkgadd -d i must search the executable file in /opt/sfw/bin/ and after create a symbolic link in /usr/ucb/?
there is an easy way?

You can use ".profile" file, to have PATH env variable. Create ".profile" file, in the home directory of the user (if it doesn't exist).
syntax: export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/local/bin/:<other_paths>
therefore every time that i'm installing a new software i must add its path in $PATH variable?Yes
how can i recognize the executable file that have i to insert?Most of the executables reside under "bin" directory, under the installation directory. When you install new software, usually the installers print verbose output on console about the status of the installation. From that verbose output, note down the absolute path to the "bin" directory, and add it to the PATH variable in ~/.profile file.

Installation Failed The installer can't install some files in "/".

The full message is
Installation Failed! The installer can't install some files in "/". Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
I first received this message when trying to upgrade Pro Tools from 8.0 to 8.0.1 a prerelease for snow leopard. I tried numerous things such as repairing permissions, as well as some pro tools specific things and to no avail. Still got the same error message.
So then I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all things pro tools from my computer. After a clean uninstall and removing all traces of pro tools I proceeded to try and re-install pro tools from my pro tools 8 disk. About a minute into the process I get the EXACT same error message.
I know this issue has been going on since even before snow leopard. I really need to get pro tools installed and running again or at least be able to get the program installed. I've isolated pro tools out of the mix because its been several different installers and even an installer from a dvd. I know this is a Snow Leopard or plain OS based problem. I have repaired permissions, created a brand new user, wiped clean and started over. I don't know anything else to do. PLEASE HELP???!!!

Hi Dean@mac & welcome to the forums...
Any specifics why it wants to install to / instead of Applications, as an example?
Seen these threads yet?
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?search=Go&q=pro+tools
One thing to help investigate the issue is to create a new user just for testing that is stock with no add-on's etc., then login there and try to install. If it works there you can bet there is something unique to your original account that is borking that install - otherwise the issue is most likely global to your system and you might be out of luck until/unless a reportedly qualified version becomes available, etc.
Good luck in any case.

How can I install multiple packages in one time?

I use Software Update on this PowerBook to download, keep the packages and install onto my 3 Mac's.
The question is how can I install multiple packages (update stuff) in one time (as we can do with Remote Desktop)? Just to save my time from retarting the machines for every single (required) packages.
Many thanks, and happy new year.

320/2766
Happy New Year Ekapon,
Instead of downloading the packages in advance,
check (Software Update default) every software you need, then choose "Install & Keep Package" from the Install menu.
This will install everything without needing to update prebindings and restart between each installation.

As Johnathan has written yes apps for iPhone will work in the iPad, however there is a '+' mark on the icon you touch or click for download which indicates both iPhone AND iPad apps. Those apps will display perfectly for the iPad.

Can't install CC package after failed initial installation - Mac OS X

Hi,
Recently my institution took the plunge and made the move to adopt Creative Cloud. As part of the switchover from CS5, I'm being used as one of the guinea pigs.
Upon first-time installation of the provided Creative Cloud package (which has installed correctly for others in my office), my iMac shut down, this obviously interrupting the installation. After restarting I Googled what to do and found forum entries on what files to remove (as there were some left over form the first installation) and followed them.
Unfortunately, when I try to install the package it fails with a generic message, and nothing is installed. I also can't run the uninstaller (same error).
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!

Correct diagnosis. When I went back and downloaded the PowerPC version, it worked fine. The Intel version works fine on my MacBook Pro, too!

Install some packages from [testing] repository

Hello Guys,
Could you suggest me how can I install and update from time to time only several packages from testing but not all of that repository?
Have a nice day,

There are completely valid scenarii where you can use only few packages from testing (see above, the linux kernel for example). Also, using different libs versions is not a heresy (simlinking is) so there are very few comments in this thread that would have been much more constructive without the condescending tone. Or should we, from now on, consider our fellow users as all dumb in opposition to competent linux users [1] as it has always been ?

It is NOT safe to assume that ALL readers are competent. Just browse through the forums every once in a while. Hence care should be taken in giving advise.
This is not a private club, things posted here are read by many competent Arch users and some incompetent as well. Results show up in a Google search. Even though its perfectly valid for me to wash my motherboard in water to get rid of dust, I wouldn't post that advise here without big WARNING tags.

Dear jasonwryan
I searched for an answer and came here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … stem.22.21
But I have no idea about how to rename and what to rename. Is it csscapture or python-cssutils-beta, I have to rename? How can I do it?
Though I have installed arch linux by my own, that was by following the step by step procedure written in the arch wiki. Other than that, I do not have any techy back ground. I am just a scribe in a media house.

I can longer install software packages using ARD.

I can no longer install software packages to other computers on my local network. I used to do this frequently to four other computers on my network, but no it just gets stuck on "Waiting for item." status. I cannot figure out how to fix this. I have tried all I know: rebooting everything, etc...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you can still control and observe these computers, but also can't copy files to them, then this thread might help - the solution by Scooter Magrooter is the best.

it does core, then extra, but weirdly in the same line, overwriting the core text. Then the same for community, seemingly stopping at 80%, but actually finishing the command without an error mesage. So I end up with something that looks like this:
jack jack # pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
jack jack # 267.2K 343.2K/s 00:00:00 [#######---]80%
/var/log/pacman.log shows the event:
[2009-12-01 18:38] synchronizing package lists
My pacman.conf only refers to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist for all repos and I have only one mirror uncommented in mirrorlist. The server is up and running and up to date (I'm using ftp://locke.suu.edu) and I can reach it by any other means (ping, ftp, and browser). Tried different mirrors as well but same results.
My /var/lib/pacman/local is untouched and healthy.
Tried
updatedb
to no avail.
pacman -Q lists all my local packages
I'm running Pacman 3.3.3
Edit: Also just reinstalled pacman and pacman-mirrorlist from manually downloaded packages, just for the sake of it: no change.
Anybody any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance

As I pointed out in my first post, I tried multiple mirrors. Usually I'm using mirror.aarnet.edu.au, but have also tried the locke.suu.edu, which is in the States, plus some other random ones. All with the same result.
I'm quite glad that I'm not the only one with this problem. However, I'm unsure what might be the casue of it. If it's pacman, I would expect a lot more people complaining.
So I'm kind of lost here.
Any form of input would be much appreciated.
EDIT: Now this is amazing!!! Just tried flamelab's suggestion to use the mir.archlinux.fr mirror and it works. How (un)cool is this. Now I'm doubley confused.
Thanks flamelab!

[FIXED]Can't install any packages after Syu

So I did my first ever pacman -Syu today and I'm having severe pacman issues now. At the bootup screen, it will complain about how it is unable to mount the pacman database. Whenever I try to install a new package, I get hundreds of lines worth of errors, all the them ending in "already exists in filesystem."
I'll post more of the output later tonight when it cools down in my apartment, the laptop this is all happening on is having overheating problems at the moment.
In the meantime, ideas??

So you have /var/lib/pacman on a separate partition? From you description, pacman can not find that folder and so does not know which package any of the files on your system come from. So it sounds like a mounting issue rather than a pacman issue.

Can't install some packages
