Installing programs on Archbang

sxmaxchine · 2010-04-24 06:57:37

Hello i have just started using arch and i am trying to install programs however everything i try never works, i have tried the following:

sudo pacman -S geany
Password:
geany package not found, searching for group...
error: 'geany': not found in sync db

I have also tried installing from the source, i cd to the directory and ten did this
./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for style of include used by make... none
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/home/ashley/Downloads/geany-0.18':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
[ashley@archbang geany-0.18]$ make
bash: make: command not found
[ashley@archbang geany-0.18]$ makepkg
==> ERROR: Fakeroot must be installed if using the 'fakeroot' option
in the BUILDENV array in /etc/makepkg.conf.

Ask in the Archbang forum.

jasonwryan · 2010-04-24 07:06:13

geany is in community - do you have that repo uncommented in your pacman.conf?

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … acman.conf

sxmaxchine · 2010-04-24 07:07:26

I asked in the Archbang forum but im not getting any responses so i discided to ask here because archbang is based on achlinux

i have tried it with more then just geany and i get the same outcome for them all and what does it mean by the repo being uncommented (if it means it isnt in the repo im quite sure that it isnt)

sxmaxchine · 2010-04-24 07:35:23

i think i have solved my problem but now i have another problem.
i try to create my repositories by running:

sudo pacman -Syy

however when i do this i gert this error

$ sudo pacman -Syy
Password:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to update core (no servers configured for repository)
error: failed to update extra (no servers configured for repository)
error: failed to update community (no servers configured for repository)

jasonwryan · 2010-04-24 07:42:33

Post your /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist files

ZaQ · 2010-04-24 07:48:59

Your /etc/pacman.conf should look something like

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Same thing for other repos. And the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist hast some uncommented servers (no # infront of it)

tomk · 2010-04-24 07:55:56

It seems you haven't bothered to read any documentation - I'd suggest you start here.

this is my pacman.conf file

# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
## Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[archiso-live] 
#Server = http://arch-live.isawsome.net/packages/

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
## Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for

Thanks for all the help

sxmaxchine · 2010-04-24 10:55:48

I have read through documentation however the program installation instructions do not work

schuay · 2010-04-24 11:03:25

Uncomment one or more mirrors in your mirrorlist file.

sxmaxchine · 2010-04-24 11:18:26

that fixed my problem thankyou very much for all the help

tomk · 2010-04-24 12:21:03

Please use forum code tags when posting config files etc. I have fixed it for you this time.

The instructions regarding the mirrorlist file are included in the documentation I suggested - I would strongly recommend that you read it thoroughly before asking any more questions.

Ok i will sit down and fully read the documentation now

Soumyadeep · 2010-04-24 14:57:32

btw u must install base-devel for compiling packages or installing them from AUR so install it also

#pacman -S base-devel

.:B:. · 2010-04-24 15:11:43

I think it's safer not to tell him about compiling, given how he manages to completely disregard documentation or hints at reading them...
