What is the command that it can't find?

lilsirecho · 2010-03-05 17:51:19

mdadm

panuh · 2010-03-05 17:57:36

pacman -S mdadm maybe?

EDIT: for me it's in /sbin/mdadm try to enter the path directly and check your $PATH if it's installed properly

The fix for that message is to install the package that provides the required command.

Tomk;

Googling shows that this message (error?) is common to all linux OS.

Some have corrective actions which are OS specific.

Therefore I require some info on how to repair in archlinux.

I cannot complete an abs PKGBUILD for the same error problem but for a different command.( an enable command I cannot recall).EDIT: --enable-libass............

The mdadm error does not prevent my use of mdadm in controlling my raid arrays.

There is a general problem with this error in linux.

What is the fix in archlinux?

It came up with the latest syu in my system.

Upgrade libtool and mdadm occured...EDIT

Tried again to run the PKGBUILD with same result...command not found...--enable-libass.

Arch is aimed at people who either know how to use linux already or are willing to learn. This is incredibly basic stuff that should be no difficulty at all.

Try looking at http://linuxcommand.org as it has some articles on learning how to use the shell which can be helpful

brisbin33 · 2010-03-05 19:37:29

you've got a typo in your pkgbuild if your shell is trying to run '--enable-libass' as a command (vs passing it as a flag to ./configure).

your post count is so high... /me is confused.

Daenyth:

Need some advice........Been here for seven years...

Problem occured due to upgrade...thst means something is amiss that shouldn't be.....

I am retarded as I have stated before...because I do not know everything there is to know.

An expert is one who encounters a change in the system...so now he is a noob!

The forum is for discussion of solutions to newly encountered problems..

I suspect that libtool has introduced a twist in the response of the system. How to properly correct that is my post...not a work-around or a patch..a proper corrective action.

The problem wasn't there last month nor anytime in the last six years.

I am 84 and still am learning....

If you know the fix for this problem..state it!

Need no lecture.........

tomk · 2010-03-05 21:41:31

brisbin33 has already given you the cause of your problem, and if you had included the information in post #7 in your first post, you would have got there a lot sooner.

You need to fix the PKGBUILD that you are trying to process. If you need help with that, post the PKGBUILD here.

lilsirecho · 2010-03-05 21:48:15

Tomk: This is the pkgbuild...... Just now got Brisbin post...Line 40 is the present problem..expect more so I am not surprised!

I see the problem in the previous statement...missed the backslash...was certain it was loaded.

Thanks for the suggestion and will go back and fix it.

Have a good day!!!

tomk · 2010-03-05 23:12:31

OK, glad you got it sorted.

Here's a tip - in future, please post PKGBUILDs etc in forum code tags. I've fixed this one for you.

lilsirecho · 2010-03-05 23:23:05

Merci ...forgetful in my oldness!!!!

Gen2ly · 2010-03-06 00:28:41

I think this comes from Ubuntu (and some other distro I saw???). They have a program tied to the shell(?) that if you type a command and it's not found, it gives suggestions of commands you might have intended. Think it might even give possible packages to install related to errant commands.

Gen2ly;

Thanks for your interesting reply.

In my case, the error message appearing during the PKGBUILD was a valid error statement for the condition that I created by making a bad typo entry.

Many times the error staement is far-out compared to the true error.

I make many typos every time I type and have to redo things often.

The mdadm condition doesn't cause a burp in performance as yet. I am able to generate a raid array with that program.

Many thanks for your comments. Now, what we need here in the USA is a quicker recovery like I just had with this problem!!!!!!

EDIT: Operating in RAM in ArchBang x86_64RC1.....
