    I've looked into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal), a .deb file, found no occi.h but did find lots of .so files (linux shared libraries). I'll try and adapt my code and Netbeans/g++ to that and see if it works...
    I can't really install it since my 4GB computer is x64 and my i386 "only" has 186RAM... Enterprise Linux Release 5 Media Pack for x86 64 (64 bit) is 5.1GB+updates (~5GB each)... Not gonna waste my time installing that just for a project.
    I sense i'm missing something obvious... although there's nothing obvious about *.oracle.com... information company they say? ;)

  • Makepkg fatal error: dbus/dbus.h: No such file or directory

    Hello everyone.
    I downloaded lxappearance2-git from AUR and I tried to makepkg but got the following error at the end of the making procedure:
    lxappearance.c:37:23: fatal error: dbus/dbus.h: No such file or directory
    I inspected the generated makefiles and none of them has an include path for gcc to /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus.
    Maybe this is the problem? Or what else.
    Thanks

    Oh yea I had two lxappearnce packages to be downloaded i was looking at the wrong one because the dependancy of the one is the other. My bad, gonna check the comments now.
    Sorry about crossposting wasn't sure about the nature of the question, its not gonna happen again. Feel free to delete the newbie one I guess
    Edit: Hmm to my understanding this is an issue to be solved. Since I know where the dbus library is located, isn't there a way to tell the build where it is? I went through some files like "configure" but there are a little bit complicated for me

  • Error X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory

    I'm trying to compile some C-code using gcc, and I keep getting the following error: "X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory". I know that I need to "somehow" identify the Path information for these X11 lib's, etc, but I do not know HOW to do that. I tried adding path definitions to my .profile file - did not work. I have X11 installed, and supposedly I installed the SDK. Can anyone help me with this

    If you're not sure if you have the SDKs, can you confirm you have the files under /Developer? Check for /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/include/X11
    I don't remember having to do anything special to get gcc to find these files.
    From what I've noted, the usual trigger seems to be that the X11SDK.pkg package wasn't installed.
    Typical PATH export is:
    export PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
    If you're working with Fink, there's a call to the following needed:
    . /sw/bin/init.sh
    See http://finkproject.org/doc/users-guide/install.php
    But I'd first make sure the X11 SDK was installed. I'd guess that is missing.

  • [SOLVED] Error : sys\stat.h: No such file or directory

    I get "...sys\stat.h: No such file or directory" error when compiling a simple C program. i have been searching for a while on web and see people writing "# pacman -S base-devel" i have that already and some more packages like glib ...
    These are the includes i am using :
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <io.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <sys\stat.h>
    // here is when i use the libraries sys/stats.h
    struct stat stbuf;
    stat(argv[2], &stbuf);
    int infSize = stbuf.size;
    This is the output of the command "gcc -o copy copy.c" :
    copy.c:3:16: error: io.h: No such file or directory
    copy.c:5:22: error: sys\stat.h: No such file or directory
    copy.c: In function 'main':
    copy.c:35: error: storage size of 'stbuf' isn't known
    Either i am missing any package needed or the gcc compiler is missing any lib directory. But i dont know which one is it.
    Any ideas are apreciated. Thanks you
    EDIT : The error was actually on #Include <io.h> , but i dunno why it conflicted with #include <sys\stat.h>.
    Anyway Problem Solved.

  • Disk Utility error: "No such file or directory."

    I'm trying to copy a DVD I made in iDVD. What I've always done in the past is to open Disk Utility, put the DVD in the optical drive, select "Images...New...Image From [optical drive]". But today when I do this I get an error message that says "No such file or directory."
    I've tried selecting the drive ("2.0 GB PIONEER DVD-R...") and selecting the DVD ("CFTPRODUCTDEMO").
    The DVD plays in DVD Player no problems. I have 11 GB free on my hard drive. I'm using a new Pioneer DVR-111D external optical drive (the internal 106D won't read DVDs it makes).
    What's wrong?

    Hey,
    Im having the same exact problem.
    Toast even says it has a medium error with this drive.
    I cant burn with toast and it wont play other DVD-R movies
    that I have burnt on other systems.
    What is the fix?

  • Xmlparser.parse error: No such file or directory

    Hello,

  • [SOLVED] /usr/bin/env: No such file or directory

    Hi,
    I've tried to install a couple packages from the AUR, but when I run "makepkg -s", I get this error:
    /usr/bin/env: No such file or directory
    make: *** [install] Error 127

    I'm sorry if this is something terribly simple, but I can't find any mention of /usr/bin/env anywhere.

    Thank you for any help!
    Last edited by dluco (2013-09-24 01:37:11)

    The /usr/bin/env is provided by the coreutils package. 
    You didn't run into issues when there was the move from /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin → /usr/bin ?  This happened back in the beginning of June!  You need to read the front page news.
    If this is the case, I am venturing to guess that your system is probably not actually up to date, and even that you might have been doing partial updates for some time now…
    Edit: Check /bin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin and see if they are symlinks pointing to /usr/bin.  If they are, you apparently made it through that update unscathed.  If they are not, well…

On some repository the changes won't happen with imported TR on target system. Please cross check and do manually on quality server. My guess problem with OAC0 , OACT .

  • Getting `No such file or directory` error while trying to open bdb database

    I have four multi-threaded processes (2 writer and 2 reader processes), which make use of Berkeley DB transactional data store. I have multiple environments and the associated database files and log files are located in separate directories (please refer to the DB_CONFIG below). When all these four processes start to perform open and close of databases in the environments very quickly, one of the reader process is throwing a No such file or directory error even though the file actually exists.
    I am making use of Berkeley DB 4.7.25 for testing out these applications.
    The four application names are as follows:
    Writer 1
    Writer 2
    Reader 1
    Reader 2
    The application description is as follows:
    &lsquo;*Writer 1*&rsquo; owns 8 environments and each environment having 123 Berkeley databases created using HASH access method. At any point of time, &lsquo;*Writer 1*&rsquo; will be acting on 24 database files across 8 environments (3 database files per environment) for carrying out write operation. Where as reader process will be accessing all 123 database files / per environment (Total = 123 * 8 environments = 984 database files) for read activities. Similar configuration for Writer 2 as well &ndash; 8 separate environments and so on.
    Writer 1, Reader 1 and Reader 2 processes share the environments created by Writer 1
    Writer 2 and Reader 2 processes share the environments created by Writer 2
    My DB_CONFIG file is configured as follows
    set_cachesize 0 104857600 1   # 100 MB
    set_lg_bsize 2097152                # 2 MB
    set_data_dir ../../vol1/data/
    set_lg_dir ../../vol31/logs/SUBID/
    set_lk_max_locks 1500
    set_lk_max_lockers 1500
    set_lk_max_objects 1500
    set_flags db_auto_commit
    set_tx_max 200
    mutex_set_increment 7500
    Has anyone come across this problem before or is it something to do with the configuration?

    Hi Michael,
    I should have included about how we are making use of DB_TRUNCATE flag in my previous reply itself. Sorry for that.
    From writers, DB truncation happens periodically. During truncate (DB handle is not associated with any environment handle i.e. stand-alone DB
    ) following parameters are passed to db-&gt;open function call:
    DB-&gt;open(DB *db,                    
    DB_TXN *txnid,          =&gt; NULL
    const char *file,          =&gt; file name (absolute DB file path)
    const char *database,  =&gt; NULL
    DBTYPE type, =&gt; DB_HASH
    u_int32_t flags, =&gt; DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED | DB_TRUNCATE | DB_CREATE | DB_THREAD
    int mode); =&gt; 0
    Also, DB_DUP flag is set.
    As you have rightly pointed out, `No such file or directory` is occuring during truncation.
    While a database is being truncated it will not be found by others trying to open it. We simulated this by stopping the writer process (responsible for truncation) and by opening & closing the databases repeatedly via readers. The reader process did not crash. When readers and writers were run simultaneously, we got `No such file or directory` error.Is there any solution to tackle this problem (because in our case writers and readers are run independently. So readers won't come to know about truncation from writers)?
    Also, we are facing one more issue related to DB_TRUNCATE. Consider the following scenario:
    <ul><li>Reader process holds reference of database (X) handle in environment 'Y' at time t1
    </li>
    <li>Writer process opens the database (X) in DB_TRUNCATE mode at time t2 (where t2 &gt; t1)</li>
    <li>After truncation, writer process closes the database and joins the environment 'Y'</li>
    <li>After this any writes to database X is not visible to the reader process</li>
    <li>Once reader process closes the database X and re-joins the environment, all the records inserted from writer process are visible</li>
    </ul>
    Is it the right behavior? If yes, how to make any writes visible to a reader process without closing and re-opening the database in the above-mentioned scenario?
    Also, when [db_set_errfile|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_c/db_set_errfile.html] was set, we did not get any additional information in the error file.
    Thanks,
    Magesh

  • Hard Drive Error after Erasing - "No Such File or Directory"

    I have a Western Digital My Passport 400GB external HD (bought in April 09). It's been working great but I had it on FAT formatting and let's just say transfers are slow. I borrowed another external drive to back everything up so I could reformat this drive to Mac OS.
    Problem came after I backed up everything...I ran Disk Utility to erase the HD and format it in Mac OS Extended (journaled). It successfully erased the Hard Drive on All Zeros, taking 6 days, 5 hours, 50 minutes. Then when it tried to partition, I got the error No Such File or Directory. Here's the log:
    "Preparing to zero disk : “Untitled”
    Secure Erase completed successfully in 6 days, 5 hours, 50 minutes.
    Preparing to erase : “Untitled”
    Creating Partition Map
    Disk Erase failed with the error:
    No such file or directory
    Erase complete."
    So now the hard drive icon doesn't show up on my desktop, but is recognized in DU (without a volume however). Therefore there is no Mount Point and the drive remains unformatted. Any attempt in DU to partition or erase yields the same error message. Searched these discussions for days now without any luck. Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    I'm not following your problem description .... You said that you successfully erased the hard drive. The next step would be to partition it by giving it a name (you can give it a name under partition or under the erase function) - don't leave it as 'untitled', using Mac OS extended (journaled), a partition size, and ensure under options it says Apple partition map. There are no erasures involved when you partition the drive, which is where I'm confused over your problem description.

    You can work entirely in Xcode by using the command-line tool template in C. Xcode > File > New > Project > Command-Line Tool > Next > Language: C > Next > Create.
    If you do want to work on the command line, you may as well just use the "clang" program instead. The "gcc" tool is just a compatibility tool for existing scripts that are expecting the actual "gcc" program. Apple hasn't used the real "gcc" for years. (Read up on the GPLv3 for more information.)
    The gcc/clang arguments are the same. The "-c" flag instructs the compiler to only compile a single .c file into a .o object file. It won't create an executable. If you are only compiling a single source file, just omit the "-c" flag and the compiler will create an executable named "a.out" that you can run by typing "./a.out". You can specify "-o <executable name>" if you want to specify a name. Once you get more than a handful of source files, using the terminal starts to become a hassle. At that point, you definitely want to start using Xcode.
    I'm not sure why you would try to compile "helloworlddot1.c" and then get an error message about "filename.c". Something else is wrong.
    If you are working in the Terminal, it is easiest to use the "cd" command to move into the same directory as your source files. Then you don't have to keep typing the full path.
    It is hard to say what the "best" community is. There are many to choose from.
