Pacman Missing From Install

Hey,
Not new to Linux, used Arch a long time ago, but nowhere near recent, tried installing it again.
I installed base and devel, which I get doesn't leave me with much, but there's some things missing.
Like pacman, useradd, etc. aren't there. I only have the basic toolchain, and not entirely sure what happened to devel, but I don't have gcc, g++, make, etc. All I have is like the bare minimal programs...the most complicated program I have is wget, lol.
Did I do something wrong, or is the base install simply this bare?
I thought it shouldn't be too terrible to download/install pacman but it can be tiresome depending on what dependencies it may have that I'd have to sort out manually....
I have the file structure, have basic tools, but it ends there.
I was going to use this instructional but I figure this isn't normal and I probably did something wrong. I feel like pacman should come with the default install and I can't find any other cases of this...so help?
Thx .

Taken right from the installer guide!

Did you get errors during boot? What bootloader are you using, and what's in the boot loader config?
EDIT: wget should not be in an initramfs - so if that's really there this could be wrong, but I'd still want to verify that.
I'm not sure if it's a recovery shell or not, how do I tell?
I do get an error during boot, but it's just an fstab error (UUID labels wrong on one of the other drives). Shouldn't have an effect on the OS..

And Busybox, as you've concluded, is one of the things that's installed, there is a busybox binary as well...it's about the only thing that feels not 'standard' so to speak.

How did they get corrupt in the first place? I get this when trying to download yahoo messenger of all programs...duh! I'm getting pretty frustrated since this has only started a month ago and I've been hoping something would fix itself but no....the last time my Toshiba service station updated was Jan 24 and now it says unable to connect with server....yet I got here to post a message and can get to the internet so don't understand why the updates can get in?
any advice?

that can be a problem with your windows.. your OS..
rebuilding your OS should be able to fix it.

Xbean.jar file missing from install of 8.1.5 express

Hi,
I just recently installed 8.1.5 express for development purposes. We are currently developing for an application running 8.1.5 server. I'd had version 8.1.4 running locally and in server/lib xbean.jar existed and we use it in our application. Now, that I've installed 8.1.5 this file no longer exists. I downloaded and installed the package version for pentium windows from the BEA download. Is there anything special during the install that I should have selected to have the xbean.jar installed?
Thanks,
Smitty

CProjects-PS Integration (Automat. Case) PS profile missing from install.

We need to create PS-project automatically form cProject project. We know there is a standard project profile cProjects-PS Integration (Automat. Case) for this purpose. However, for some reason this profile is not installed in our development system. SAP told us to manually create this profile and so we did, but still we are not able to create the PS-project. Have someone else had the same problem? Is there something else required to get the profile working than just creating it? We donu2019t find any IMG node where the PS profile would be activated to automatic creation.
Any help appreciated

Pacman alpm issue, vercmd missing, after rescue from install CD

Hi
I wanted to remove all packages from my system and reinstall from scratch
So i used the pacman tip from the wiki to reinstall all packages on the system
but changed it to remove instead -R instead of -S, little did i think ...
everything on the system was removed, except running processes.
i had no ls etc, no pacman and so on.
So i created a arch cd from another computer and booted on it on my arch install computer.
then i was advised on the archlinux irc. todo a chroot mount and use pacman to install base-devel (+ base)
Hence i did that, ... after a long long while i succeed.
i first got chroot /mnt no /bin/bash mesage when trying to start the chroot.
So i copied the files shown via: ldd /bin/bash & ldd /usr/bin/pacman
then i mount:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/usr/
mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/var/
(i didnt mount /home).
then
$ chroot /mnt
From here i use pacman to install packages
pacman -S base-devel - runs fine.
pacman -S base - i miss one package file (dcrond - i think)
Then instead i go the the very fine wiki again, and see how to install all local packages.
and use that.
However now i get messages under the pacman install of the type .
/tmp/alpm_QWYZ/.INSTALL: line xyz: vercmp: command not found.
------------- || -------------------------: line xyz: [: : integer expression expected
I can't find out where this message comes from, i can find no vercmp comand
(maybe a shell function?)
I get lots of other similar errors.
============================
At last there are al those /etc files which got .pacsave endings, should i think about them?
Here some more errors from a "pacman -S base" via the arch CD and chroot
find: /sys/devices no such file or directory
Which: no /pcmcia-socket-startup.staic in (/sbin)
ERROR: '/sbin/pcmcia-socket-startup.static' is not a file
+ some related files /sbin/pcmcia-**
============================
If i reboot and enter my system on its harddisk instead of via the CD.
I get SH: not able to change group (-1) : inappropiate ioctl for device.
This error message is by memory, since i just borked something else.
and couldnt load system on harddisk, somehow the kernel has misplaced itself...
============================
Ok more information:
I succeded in booting via hardisk, and it looked very promising.
However ...
Console messages:
device-mapper: ioctl: 4:15.0-ioctl .....
Waiting 10 seconds for device ...
:: running hook [resume]
Waiting 10 seconds for device ...
Root device ´´ doesnt exist, attempting to create it
ERROR: failed to parse block device ids for ´´
ERROR: unable to detect or create root device
.. some general info stuff
You are being dropped to a recovery console

Thanks John, Bill and Graffiti for your interest!
The original install, many years ago, was of an education version from a local college. As updates became available thorough the update manager, they were installed. As stated above, it updated though 6.0 to 6.6, and then on to 7, eventually to 7.1! I can only repeat what happened, but not explain it. I thought nothing of it at the time, as it was all being managed by the update manager. I agree that this last seems to be more an upgrade than an update, but... what can I say? What happened is what happened, and it happened as I described it.
But not's get hung up on the history! Now that I seem to have solved the original issue of not getting past the message that 'a more functional version has been detected', how does one solve the 'invalid serial number' issue that occurs when attempting to reinstall 6.0? Delete the Acrobat registry keys from HKLM and HKCU, and possibly anywhere else? The former didn't work yet, so, where else? Maybe there is an 'update' folder hanging around somewhere with a registry reference that needs to be deactivated? Something like {AC76BA86-0000-0000-7AC5-6028747ADE00}?
Any further thoughts? And thanks for the input, it really is appreciated!

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I am trying to install the newest version of Itunes and it fails with the message "Program cannot start MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling program to fix this program.I have tried reinstalling several times but get same results

I am trying to install the newest version of Itunes and each time I repeatedly get the message "Program cannot start MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer Try reinstalling to fix this problem". I have tried reinstalling several times and I get the same message . Any ideas? I am most appreciative. I am using Windows 7.

Hi 49balf,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend removing and reinstalling iTunes using these steps:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
You can find the article with these steps and more information here:

Problem installing iTunes update: "Can't start" iTunes "because MSVCR80.dll is missing" from my computer. Please help!

Please help! I tried to update my iTunes as prompted, but it did not install correctly, and now I am getting the following message and do not know how to fix the problem:
"The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling this program to fix the problem."
Another window gives me this message:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"
BUT I AM AFRAID TO REINSTALL iTUNES and lose my library! Would greatly appreciate learning how to resolve this porblem without losing my music!
Cheers!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages: 1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem and 2. iTunes was not installed correct

All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
and
2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
Thanks

Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem. As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS. I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock. Thanks again for trying.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.
