P.S. I'm trying to build one project using OCaml, but it turned out that it is very tricky: either OCaml complains about compatibility (is not a compiled interface for this version of OCaml followed by It seems to be for an older version of OCaml; does it mean that OCaml is not backward compatible?), either opam init fails, either <whatever>.
Your error message indicates that you either have network problems or very poor connection. Also, you opam version is very old, so it might not handle bad networks very well, I would suggest your installing a newer version of opam (at least 2.1.x), or, if it is possible, switching to docker or a virtual machine.
Answering your original question: I don't think there is a way (at least officially supported to specify your own downloaded index). Also, if you have trouble with downloading the index it most likely means that you will have more trouble in the future with your network when opam will start downloading actual packages.

I have created a c++ app on Debian Jessie 8.10 amd64 which also need the following libraries:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
I also need to cross compile the source code for armhf. So according to this quite helpful link https://wiki.embeddedarm.com/wiki/Jessie_armhf_Cross_Compile I gave the following commands:
sudo apt-get install curl build-essential
su root
echo "deb http://emdebian.org/tools/debian jessie main" >
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/emdebian.list
curl http://emdebian.org/tools/debian/emdebian-toolchain-archive.key | apt-key add -
dpkg --add-architecture armhf
apt-get update
apt-get install crossbuild-essential-armhf
Everything got installed correctly and then I also gave :
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev:armhf
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev:armhf
The first command executed successfully. On the other hand the second one failed giving the following output:

Since I'm quite new in cross compilation procedures does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
You are doing nothing wrong. It is a file conflict in related with multiarch packages. It is a bug in the package
Here is a explanation of this kind of bugs, from https://wiki.debian.org/MultiArch/Hints
The package in question is marked Multi-Arch: same, but has
conflicting versions of at least one file for different architectures.
The hint tells the filename (or the number of filenames) and the
architectures (or number of architectures) in question. The easiest
way to fix is to remove the Multi-Arch: same declaration, but often
enough it can be fixed by moving the offending files to
per-architecture locations (typically
/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/). For *-dev packages, the Multi-Arch:
same capability often is not critical and removing is a good initial
measure.
I just run into the same kind of problem, which still is an issue with some packages. In my case libcurl-openssl-dev was replacing the /usr/bin/curl-config binary.
To me it required swapping from x64/i386 libraries when i needed cross-compiling but i am well aware it might not be possible for everyone.
I wish to use CTF conversion with perf. From the scarce information around, I've figured out that I need to recompile perf.
I've installed the epel repository and used yum to install
babeltrace and libbabeltrace
for the run time as well as
libunwind-devel slang-devel libbabeltrace-devel and asciidoc
for compilation.
I cloned git.kernel.org (as alternative I also tried github.com/torvalds) and used
LIBBABELTRACE=1 make
to build the perf with babeltrace support. However, I get the error:
Makefile.config:780: No libbabeltrace found, disables 'perf data' CTF format support, please install libbabeltrace-dev[el]/libbabeltrace-ctf-dev
So I try adding LIBBABELTRACE_DIR with /usr but this, too, fails. Checking out the Makefile.conf, I see that the configuration is looking in the wrong places: it is set up to use a locally compiled babeltrace with well defined subdirectories (include and lib), but these are NOT used when installing from rpm (yum). The rpm places them in /usr/include/babeltrace and /usr/lib64.
Patching the Makefile also doesn't help.
So, short of being forced to use a locally compiled babeltrace, what options do I have?
This is for a cluster of 26 nodes and I really would prefer a simple 'yum install' as this simplifies restaging nodes when the get corrupted (we do research with them and regularily corrupt stuff) and does not require setting specific environments.
ADDENDUM:
I tried compiling babeltrace from https://github.com/efficios/babeltrace.git: this, too, fails with the error:
babeltrace-cfg-cli-args.c:2390:29: error: ‘POPT_ARG_LONGLONG’ undeclared (first use in this function)
and, surely enough, popt.h does not define POPT_ARG_LONGLONG.
Thanks in advance.
When trying to install shogun im getting this error. Can some one suggest a solution?
N: Ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Unable to locate package libshogun17
Im using ubuntu operating system.
See this explanation of the origin and purpose of .ucf-dist files. This means you can either ignore the notice (that's what the N: prefix stands for) or remove said file.
sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist
libshogun17 is not part of ubuntu by default. Currently we supply two different ppa's for xenial and trusty:
for nightly builds: https://launchpad.net/~shogun-toolbox/+archive/ubuntu/nightly
for stable releases: https://launchpad.net/~shogun-toolbox/+archive/ubuntu/stable
please follow the instruction either the given page or http://shogun.ml/install#ubuntu how to add the ppa to your system.
Note, as mentioned above those PPAs only supply packages for ubuntu trusty or xenial.
How can I install a specific version of ocaml compiler (and compatible packages) using opam (or another package manger)?
I took a quick look through the opam documentation, but I don't find a relevant information.
I need ocaml compiler (preferably the native code compiler) to build unison, a software for file synchronization. I need to build unison on two machines using the same version of ocaml, or otherwise unison emits an error and aborts its duty (yiiii!).
I tried building ocaml version 4.04.0 from a tar ball and then using it for building unison, but on one of the machine the build of unison failed with the error message,
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/norio/Downloads/unison/unison-2.48.4_expand/src'
ocamlc -o mkProjectInfo unix.cma str.cma mkProjectInfo.ml
File "mkProjectInfo.ml", line 1:
Error: Error while linking /home/norio/Downloads/unison/ocaml_for_unison/lib/ocaml/unix.cma(Unix):
The external function `unix_has_symlink' is not available
if [ -f `which etags` ]; then \
etags *.mli */*.mli *.ml */*.ml */*.m *.c */*.c *.txt \
; fi
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/norio/Downloads/unison/unison-2.48.4_expand/src'
I don't want to set off for the quest of unix_has_symlink function and devote myself for the exploration of the swamp of library dependencies where many developers had fallen before the civilization came and package managers were invented.
Is there anything like,
opam install ocamlc-4.04 and opam install all-packages?
Addendum
The error message about unix_has_symlink was observed on a machine running Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64 bit. Is this function a part of some unix/linux library, rather than ocaml package?
To create a switch with a particular version of the compiler do
opam switch create <compiler-version>
(Note: for the old opam 1.x it was opam switch <compiler-version>)
E.g.,
opam switch create 4.07.0
Or, if you want to create a fresh new switch that uses the same compiler as some other switch, then the syntax is
opam switch create <name> <compiler-version>
E.g.,
opam switch create myproj 4.07.0
Note, that if <name> is a folder, then a local switch will be created, e.g., opam switch ./myproj 4.07.0 will create a switch directly in the myproj folder.
To start with a specific version, i.e., when you first install opam, just do
opam init --compiler=<version>
E.g.,
opam init --compiler=4.07.0
To list available versions do
opam switch
To see even more, do
opam switch list-available
To install a variant of a compiler, e.g., a compiler with flambda or spacetime, use the following general syntax,
opam switch create <switch-name> ocaml-variants.<version>+options <options>...
E.g.,
opam switch create myswitch ocaml-variants.4.13.0+options ocaml-option-flambda
use opam search ocaml-options for the full list of available options. It is possible to specify several options, e.g.,
opam switch create myswitch ocaml-variants.4.13.0+options ocaml-option-flambda ocaml-option-spacetime ocaml-option-static
I need to install ocropus on Ubuntu 11.04.
I went through a long and painful process of trying ocropus 0.3 and 0.4 from the project's Downloads page, but to no avail - I could find no way of making it locate tesseract, which it recommended. I labored on Google and came across the page http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/wiki/InstallTranscript.
Great. Except when I issue the command:
hg clone $release https://ocropus.googlecode.com/hg/ ocropus
I get the error message:
abort: unknown revision 'ocropus-0.4.4'!
A post here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13444 by the maintainer of the ocropus package for archlinux says
they have completely refactored ocropus and at the same time they have also completely removed the old repository so it's not possible to access the old "stable" versions. I suggest using the ocropus-hg package, at least for the time being.
I thought I would go ahead with this idea and issued the command:
hg clone https://ocropus.googlecode.com/hg/ ocropus #I deftly avoid any
mention of the release
The result is I get a folder with a file interestingly named ocroinst. I run it and it says I need to run the following commands:
sudo ./ocroinst packages #checks the dependencies
./ocroinst install #installs ocropus
sudo ./ocroinst dl #downloads models
I was glad and I issued the first command, which is when I got the message:
Package libjpeg8-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 libjpeg8-dev has no installation candidate
I think a certain Murphy may have had a point.
The situation, with an delicious added complication, is this:
(please correct me if I am wrong)
Ubuntu 11.04 comes with libjpeg62-dev. The required version for ocropus is libjpeg8-dev.
Ocropus requires libtiff4-dev, and libtiff4-dev depends on libjpeg62-dev. Therefore there is no way for me to uninstall libjpeg62-dev.
libjpeg62-dev conflicts with libjpeg8-dev. Therefore, I can have only one of libjpeg8-dev or libjpeg62-dev, and never both.
If libjpeg8-dev is installed, I will have no libjpeg62-dev, which means I must remove libtiff4-dev and therefore have no way to install ocropus.
If libjpeg62-dev is installed, I will have no libjpeg8-dev and thus I will have no way to install ocropus.
NOTE:
(An experiment description)
I had libjpeg62-dev installed on the system already. I figured I could take a chance and I went right ahead and changed every libjpeg8-dev I could find to libjpeg-dev, and ran the 3 commands.
It installed. No error.
This gave me great joy
until
I ran the command
ocropus <image-file-name>
and I was greeted by the charming:
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/_iulib.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5iulib6dcloseEv
The more sophisticated
ocropus book2pages out image*
failed with the same error. A post on stack overflow indicates that this is caused by incorrectly versioned libraries.
THE QUESTION:
How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance.
