Lubuntu Blog: Skippy-XD PPA

We have found a new PPA for our beloved Skippy-XD tool. If you don’t remember what it is, just have a look at the article (now updated) on this blog. If you want to install this compilation from GIT (another “latest” apps repository) you can do it the easy way, having no more depending on DEB downloads and ensure updates.

Issue with installing rpm in AIX 6.1

By gaugeta

I am trying to install an rpm : libiconv-1.14-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm which is a dependency to install GIT.

While I gave the command I got the foll message:

Code:

root:user-> $ rpm -i -v libiconv-1.14-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
libiconv-1.14-1
ar: Cannot open or remove a file containing a running program.
ar: 0707-113 The fopen system call failed on file /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a.
ar: Cannot open or remove a file containing a running program.
ar: 0707-113 The fopen system call failed on file /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a.


But when I gave the rpm -qa command the package is listed as libiconv-1.14-1 but does not work correctly.

How can I correctly install this rpm.

GIT issue in AIX 6.1

By gaugeta

Hello,

I recently installed GIT 1.8.1 on my AIX 6.1 machine referring to AIX Open Source Packages | Main / git website and am facing a few issues with it.

Now if I login as root and issue git commands like git –version I get the response as shown :

Code:

git version 1.8.1


And I have tried creating repositories as root too and it works fine.

Now If I login as just a normal user and if I issue the version command : git –version I am getting the response as :

Code:

genuser:stud:/students/admin> git --version
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program git because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) could not be loaded.
0509-152 Member libiconv.so.2 is not found in archive


Now how come its working with root user and not working with normal user.

But If I issue man git command in normal user I’m getting the manual for git but the rest of the commands give the above error.

How can I fix this.
