The Ruby on Rails website recommends installing Ruby from source under Linux. I encountered a number of C library problems building ruby from source on a clean install of Unbuntu 9. All the instructions I found on the net about installing ruby on ubuntu have involved using the prepackaged (.deb-based) ruby. Clearly this isn't what the r...
The ruby extensions in the "ext" directory of my ubuntu ruby interpreter i.e. zlib, etc, io, ... fail to load. I mean they're recognized as extensions - I don't get a "no such file" error, yet they fail to load (i.e. return false). Running this: puts require 'zlib' prints "false" Is there a way of tracking down why a module fails...

I'm trying to connect to Gmail through IMAP with PHP running in Apache. This is on an Ubuntu 9.04 system. I've got some sort of PHP configuration issue that is keeping this from working. First, here's what I did to setup IMAP for PHP: sudo apt-get install libc-client2007b libc-client2007b-dev sudo apt-get install php5-imap sudo /etc/...
My question is based on this article. How can you make the profiling data about a PHP code by Xdubug2 and then put it to an app like KCacheGrind? I have used successfully Xdebug in my Ubuntu, since it highlights my error messages in the browser. However, I have not find any terminal tool like xdebug. I would like to have a visual view...
Running a Java Swing program on Ubuntu Linux, I'm getting an odd bug where the font height is too large for the actual font size, that is, every piece of text (in menus, buttons, text areas etc.) has excess blank space underneath the text itself. This does not depend on which font I select. It also does not depend on the font size chose...
I need to suid a script so that it can be executed by users with less permissions. Since you can't suid a script and can only suid an executable I wanted to use the generic script compiler "shc" to create an executable and then set that executable's suid bit. Only problem is that on ubuntu jaunty I can't find shc or when I do apt-get i...

I've used AWS and various forms of Linux over the past few years, but am wondering if anyone has any experience using Canonical's AWS Ubuntu images and can compare them to Hammond's.

Hi All, I'm writing software that needs to run on customer laptops in a fully controlled environment and I'm considering a system based on a bootable OS run from an USB stick. The keyboard, mouse, wi-fi, soundcard and screen need to work out-of-the-box with minimal configuration but I don't care about secondary functions such as powersa...
When I build Qt applications on Ubuntu it puts the output files in the main solution folder as opposed to release/debug folders as it does on Windows. This is problematic because sometimes the output files need to be run as part of the build process (for example to run unit tests). I have an idea this has something to do with the qmake...
