I would like to install a specific version of gdb and gcc with macports on mac os x leopard, not the last one, but the 6.8 for gdb. Is it possible?
It is possible. It's just convoluted and tedious. It's listed in the documentation these days.
Steps
Go to macports trac and find the package you're looking for. This is the link for subversion, which is the package I'll be using in the example.
Click the PortFile
Click Revision Log (top right)
Pour through the revisions until you find the version you're looking for. Remember the revision number.
In this example I'm looking for version 1.7 of subversion.
With that revision number noted. You need to checkout the version of that subdirectory at that revision.
cd /tmp
svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/subversion --revision 106629
Then cd into the folder and run the install
cd subversion
sudo port install
Then it should become selected by default. You can check with
sudo port installed subversion
The following ports are currently installed:
subversion #1.7.10_0 (active)
subversion #1.8.8_0
subversion #1.8.10_0
As I just came across this question when trying to figure out how to download an older version of curl, I thought I'd share an update:
The currently accepted answer did not work for me any longer. This is with MacPorts 2.2.0. What I did was the following.
I started following the directions located here. I ended up using the SVN method, since the first method didn't work. What I didn't realize is that I was missing a critical step.
I found another post that suggested moving the downloaded directory to /private/tmp. After doing this, I cd into the new directory and after a sudo port install I was able to install the older version.
I am on a Mac running OS X 10.8, so your mileage may vary.
This post is old.. but specifying a version is possible. For example I want to install ZeroMQ version 3.2.2 so I use:
sudo port install zmq #3.2.2
And it always helps to goto the MacPorts website and search to see if they have what you are looking for.
As far as I know it is not possible at all to install other versions than the exact version, unless there is a specific port for a certain version.
The only thing you could do is fetch the portfile of the desired version from the Macports subversion repository.
In your case only gdb 7.2 is available on the current version, no variants and no other versions - sorry :)

I've been struggling with this for the past 2h. In CentOS 8 I can't find the devtoolset packages to install older gcc/g++ versions. There is no longer a scl repo for CentOS 8. I need gcc/g++ 4.9x installed along the current gcc/g++ 8.x and I need to be able to switch between the two. This was extremely easy to set up in Ubuntu, not the case in CentOS and the documentation is non-existent or I had trouble finding it.
If you wish to install an older gcc than the distro provides, you will need to compile it for source.
There is some guidance below on how to download and build an old GCC
https://bytefreaks.net/gnulinux/downgrade-gcc-on-centos-7-0-64bit-to-version-4-8-2
Found a solid path that has automated compiling and packaging gcc, as well as a guide:
Guide:
https://bobsteagall.com/2017/12/30/gcc-builder/
Github repo:
https://github.com/BobSteagall/gcc-builder
I won't copy paste what's in this person's guide as they deserve the credit. However, here's a summary of the steps:
Install your prereqs (rpm build tools, devtools for bootstrapping your environment).
Clone the repo.
Checkout a branch in the repo like the major version of GCC you want (e.g. gcc7).
In the repo, edit gcc-build-vars.sh such that it points to a version of GCC you want from http://gnu.mirror.constant.com/gcc/.
Perform the build with: ./build-gcc.sh -T | tee build.log.
Stage it: ./stage-gcc.sh.
Package it: (./pack-gcc.sh or ./make-gcc-rpm.sh -v).
I am new to Linux. I have been asked to install rose compiler. I installed the dependency Boost by using
apt-get install libboost-all-dev
which installed boost1.58.0 but now when I use
apt-cache search rose
I cant understand which package is for the rose compiler from the list provided. I downloaded rose from the github repository https://github.com/rose-compiler/rose but I cant understand how to install it.
The ROSE installation process is a mangled mess. If you can, use their pre-built image. If you can't, I'd recommend running this shell script instead. Note that the part with downloading Java does not work, so before running the script download JDK 7u51 from Oracle and leave it in the Downloads folder (do not move or rename!) for the script to pick up. This was working as of ~1 month ago (July 2017). No guarantees if it still works.
Also note that the installation process takes a lot of time. The entire ~2 million line project needs to be compiled on your machine. After installation, don't even think about moving any of its folders or dependencies. Best of luck.
If you are using Ubuntu 18.04 or CenOS/RHEL 7 then you can install rose using apt/yum. https://github.com/rose-compiler/rose/wiki/How-to-Set-Up-ROSE has all the information regarding this.
Hi I've tried to install the latest codelite but when I try to open it, it doesn't. I followed the instructions on the site but no luck.
I'm using openSUSE 13.2 64-bit
You probably need to install the wxWidgets runtime libs, which were supposed to be included in the CodeLite package but weren't.
openSUSE don't seem to have a meta-package for these, and there are a confusing number of choices, most of which will be wrong for you. However if you ask yast to install libwx_gtk2u_webview-suse-3_0-0 I think you'll find that will depend on the rest of the correct libwx* family.
At the time of this writing, you can install codelite and wxwidget in opensuste in a straightforward method. Just go to the
opensuse software repository and search for codelite. After representation of the results press on the button
Direct Install
to let you install the package on your machine.
I am using a virtualenv for a django setup. I am trying to build a view that pulls data from logs and then graphs the data. Eventually I would like to have this real-time and live. If you have any recommendations on other solutions that would suit my project best, please do not hesitate to include them in the comment fields below.
I have attempted to install matplotlib from pip using pip install matplotlib.
I receive the following message:
* The following required packages can not be built:
* freetype
I then validated that it was installed
yum install freetype
Package freetype-2.3.11-14.el6_3.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version
I then found that there is a python-matplotlib which is an older version .99. However, I want to keep this inside of the virtual environment and not system wide.
find / -name *freetype*
/var/lib/yum/yumdb/f/d2807dcfe3762c0b9f8ef1d9bf0f05788e73282a-freetype-2.3.11-14.el6_3.1- x86_64
/usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6.3.22
/usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6
/usr/share/doc/freetype-2.3.11
I searched all over stackoverflow and only saw solutions for ubuntu which did not transfer over to centos.
Thank you for your time,
John
pip is going to compile matlibplot on your local machine, so you'll need freetype development headers installed as well.
CentOS 6+, Fedora, etc.:
$ sudo yum -y install freetype freetype-devel libpng-devel
On older operating systems (e.g. CentOS 5), you may run into a more specific freetype versioning issue with newer releases of matlibplot. If you're version agnostic, sticking with a legacy 1.3.x release will negate these dependency issues:
$ pip install matplotlib==1.3.1
Please note, you may need to downgrade your numpy to 1.8 in order to make matplotlib 1.3 work.
$ pip install numpy==1.8
Good luck!
I have just had a similar (albeit not exactly the same) situation. I'll write it up here as this page comes up among the first search results.
CentOS 5
pip install matplotlib complains about freetype
Both freetype and freetype-devel are installed.
~/.pip/pip.log provides the explanation of the problem. There is the line:
freetype: no [Requires freetype2 2.3 or later. Found 2.2.1.]
Obviously, the solution is either to upgrade freetype or downgrade matplotlib.
The second is easier (assuming I am OK with the older version).
pip install matplotlib==1.3.1 works fine.
On the matplotlib installation, this is what I did. Not sure if this is going to help you. Just followed the steps here:
http://pkgs.org/centos-6/centos-x86_64/python-matplotlib-0.99.1.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm.html
I did not use pip, btw and have CentOS 6.4.
I had this happen to me in two different situations, see if yours is one of them:
freetype was installed, but not in the $PATH yet. Just exiting the shell and starting a new one fixed this.
I was building matplotlib from source, and trying to build from the master branch. After I switched to v1.3.x it correctly detected freetype.
I'd like to build the latest version of gcc on a mac. I have the latest xcode but I'm looking for some of the c++0x features that are in more recent versions (the lambda functions, etc).
Are there any good step-by-step tutorials on doing this?
You should look at the Homebrew project.
Homebrew allows you to do things like this:
brew install gcc
Mac homebrew installation instructions are available here.
Add GCC support to a fresh Xcode 4.2 installation using this homebrew formula:
brew install https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes/master/apple-gcc42.rb
Upgrading from Xcode 4.1 doesn't drop existing GCC support, so this formula is only useful if you're working with a fresh 4.2+ installation.
One option is to install MacPorts and install the gcc46 package:
sudo port install gcc46
Another option is to download the source code and build it as follows:
tar xzvf gcc-4.6.0.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.6.0
./configure
make
Note that GCC 4.6.0 requires as prerequisites GMP 4.2+, MPFR 2.3.1+, and MPC 0.8.0+. If ./configure fails, it's probably because you're missing one of these (though it should give you a helpful error message in any case).
Building will take a while—likely several hours, depending on your hardware.
I would suggest building it yourself (Adam details how to do so). This will give you fine control on where to install and all the options you want to select. My experience from having multiple versions of gcc is that, if care is not taken apple's version of gcc can be damaged.
To speed up gcc installation you might want to look at --enable-languages option. If there are languages you don't need installed with the new gcc then you may not want to select them.
