    <p>My ultimate goal is to run a <a href="http://twiki.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">twiki</a> website for my research group. </p> <p>I have space on RedHat server that is running Apache, etc., but upon which I do not have root access. Since I cannot install perl modules with the current permissions, I've decided to manually install a local version of perl. Got that working no problem. The following modules are required to get twiki to work: </p> <ul> <li>FreezeThaw - <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~ilyaz/FreezeThaw" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://search.cpan.org/~ilyaz/FreezeThaw</a></li> <li>CGI::Session - <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~markstos/CGI-Session" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://search.cpan.org/~markstos/CGI-Session</a></li> <li>Error - <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~shlomif/Error" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://search.cpan.org/~shlomif/Error</a></li> <li>GD - <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~lds/GD" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://search.cpan.org/~lds/GD</a></li> <li>HTML::Tree - <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~petek/HTML-Tree" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://search.cpan.org/~petek/HTML-Tree</a></li> <li>Time-modules - <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~muir/Time-modules" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://search.cpan.org/~muir/Time-modules</a></li> </ul> <p>I have installed FreezeThaw, CGI, Error, and it fails on GD with the following error: </p> <blockquote> <p><strong>UNRECOVERABLE ERROR</strong> Could not find gdlib-config in the search path. </p> <p>Please install libgd 2.0.28 or higher. If you want to try to</p> <p>compile anyway, please rerun this script with the option --ignore_missing_gd.</p> </blockquote> <p>In searching for how to get around this newest obstacle, I found a previous SO question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1627143/how-to-install-gd-library-with-strawberry-perl">How to install GD library with Strawberry Perl</a> asked about installing this and the top answer <a href="http://www.libgd.org/FAQ_C_Compile" rel="nofollow noreferrer">suggested manually compiling</a> gdlib. You'll note, however, that that link is broken. The base site: <a href="http://www.libgd.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.libgd.org/</a> is basically down saying to go to the project's <a href="https://bitbucket.org/pierrejoye/gd-libgd" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bitbucket</a> page. </p> <p>So I got the tarball from that page and am trying to install it. The following problems occur when I follow the instructions included. README.TXT says: "If the sources have been fetched from CVS, run bootstrap.sh [options]." </p> <p>Running bootstrap.sh yields: </p> <blockquote> <p>configure.ac:64: warning: macro `AM_ICONV' not found in library</p> <p>configure.ac:10: required directory ./config does not exist cp: cannot</p> <p>create regular file `config/config.guess': No such file or directory</p> <p>configure.ac:11: installing `config/config.guess' configure.ac:11: </p> <p>error while copying cp: cannot create regular file</p> <p>`config/config.sub': No such file or directory configure.ac:11:</p> <p>installing `config/config.sub' configure.ac:11: error while</p> <p>copying cp: cannot create regular file `config/install-sh': No such</p> <p>file or directory configure.ac:28: installing `config/install-sh'</p> <p>configure.ac:28: error while copying cp: cannot create regular</p> <p>file `config/missing': No such file or directory configure.ac:28:</p> <p>installing `config/missing' configure.ac:28: error while copying</p> <p>configure.ac:577: required file `config/Makefile.in' not found</p> <p>configure.ac:577: required file `config/gdlib-config.in' not found</p> <p>configure.ac:577: required file `test/Makefile.in' not found</p> <p>Makefile.am:14: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined</p> <p>Makefile.am:14: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add</p> <p><code>AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' Makefile.am:14: to</code>configure.ac' and run</p> <p><code>aclocal' and</code>autoconf' again. Makefile.am:14: If `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'</p> <p>is in `configure.ac', make sure Makefile.am:14: its definition is in</p> <p>aclocal's search path. cp: cannot create regular file</p> <p>`config/depcomp': No such file or directory Makefile.am: installing</p> <p>`config/depcomp' Makefile.am: error while copying Failed</p> </blockquote> <p>And it says I should also install the following 3rd party libraries: </p> <ol> <li><p>zlib, available from <a href="http://www.gzip.org/zlib/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.gzip.org/zlib/</a> Data compression library</p></li> <li><p>libpng, available from <a href="http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/</a> Portable Network Graphics library; requires zlib</p></li> <li><p>FreeType 2.x, available from <a href="http://www.freetype.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.freetype.org/</a> Free, high-quality, and portable font engine</p></li> <li><p>JPEG library, available from <a href="http://www.ijg.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.ijg.org/</a> Portable JPEG compression/decompression library</p></li> <li><p>XPM, available from <a href="http://koala.ilog.fr/lehors/xpm.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://koala.ilog.fr/lehors/xpm.html</a> X Pixmap library</p></li> </ol> <p>Which I am ignoring for now.</p> <p>Switching to the generic instructions it says follow the advice in the INSTALL file; which says: "cd to the directory containing the package's source code and type ./configure to configure the package for your system." Which flat does not work: I've cd'ed into every directory of the tarball and running that command does nothing.</p> <p>So, trying to install twiki required me to install perl, which required me to install the perl modules: FreezeThaw, CGI, Error, HTML, Time-modules, and GD -- which itself required me to install gdlib -- which further suggested I install zlib, libpng, FreeType 2.x, JPEG library, and XPM. And of course, I'm stuck at the installing gdlib stage.</p> <p><strong>My question is</strong>: what other process can possibly demean humanity to such a level? I cannot fathom the depths of cruelty that lay ahead of me as I dive ever deeper into this misery onion. Should I just end it all? Can meaning be brought from this madness? Will the sun come up tomorrow, and if so, does it even matter? </p> <p>But seriously, any suggestions on what to do differently/better would be much appreciated -- I can't remember what a child's laughter sounds like anymore. </p>

    1. COJust a suggestion: maybe better to ask your system administrator with root access to install all these libraries (btw, required by a lot of software) for you; is it possible?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
