[Solved] How to install libg2c?

seawishnew · 2017-06-17 12:52:14

I installed Arch linux on my system a while back and I recently decided to switch to it. My work involves running a software jmrui which runs on 32-bit java, which I installed using packer. It also requires libg2c without which it does not function properly.

Previously, I was using debian and found a .deb package that I installed which solved the problem there. I've spent quite some time searching all over without much help. And yes, I did see these posts: 1 2 but I didn't get much from them.

I also checked out ways to install .deb packages on Arch and tried the manual method from this blog as debtap kept showing some error whenever I tried:

 sudo debtap -u

.

The libg2c0_3.4.6-6ubuntu5_i386.deb package contained:

libg2c
└── usr
    ├── lib
    │   ├── libg2c.so.0 -> libg2c.so.0.0.0
    │   └── libg2c.so.0.0.0
    └── share
        └── doc
            ├── gcc-3.4-base
            │   └── fortran
            │       └── README.Debian
            └── libg2c0 -> gcc-3.4-base

7 directories, 3 files

And I moved the files to their corresponding files but that didn't solve the problem with the software.

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance!

Turns out that once those files were copied to their respective directories, my system needed a restart. Now the software works just fine.

It is not a good idea to install stuff to system directories outside of pacman. The correct way is to create a pacman source package which you can then build using makepkg and install using pacman -U. Furthermore you can upload it to the AUR so the community benefits. Installing outside of pacman loses the benefits of a package manager and can conflict with the package manager.

Tried your method but not working for me. To clarify: you put those files extracted from the .deb in /usr/lib/ and /usr/share/doc/.

I can load data and do preprocessing with jmrui but when I click on any quantitation methods, I get libg2c0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
Which seems like jmrui is not looking in /usr/lib/ or the libg2c0 is not in the right place.

Guess I will have to switch to debian-base.

Please do not necrobump.

Closing.
