Problem installing HTOP in FreeBSD 6.2

S

scottemick

I have the linux compibility binaries loaded.


Code: 
webserver001# kldstat
Id Refs Address            Size     Name
 1    6 0xffffffff80100000 967700   kernel
 2    1 0xffffffff80a68000 718      accf_data.ko
 3    1 0xffffffff80a69000 1408     accf_http.ko
 4    1 0xffffffff80a6b000 103d0    ipmi.ko
 5    2 0xffffffff80a7c000 2490     smbus.ko

I installed the libtool, and ncurses 5.7. But when i run make I get the following error:


Code: 
===>   htop-0.8.3 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/python2.4 - found
===>   htop-0.8.3 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/automake-1.9 - found

===>   htop-0.8.3 depends on shared library: ncursesw.5 - not found
===>    Verifying install for ncursesw.5 in /usr/ports/devel/ncurses
===>   Returning to build of htop-0.8.3
Error: shared library "ncursesw.5" does not exist
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/htop.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/htop.

I'm not that well versed in FreeBSD, and I have searched all over for someone else getting this error and can't seem to find anything. Any help greatly appreciated.

Maybe edit the Makefile to change ncursesw.5 to libncursesw.5 ?? Another workaround maybe, but it would take a while to re-figure it out.
 
Do you actually have /usr/compat/linux/lib/libncursesw.so.5 on your system? That's what the port is looking for, due to its Linux-background (and the use of lsof, which is non-FreeBSD).

Code: 
===>  Configuring for htop-0.8.3_2
***********************************************************
htop(1) requires linprocfs(5) to be mounted. If you don't
have it mounted already, please add this line to /etc/fstab
and run `mount linproc`:
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
***********************************************************
 
No I do not have /usr/compat/linux/lib/libncursesw.so.5 on my system, and I was mistaken the linux compatibility isn't running either.

If I try to install, I get this:


Code: 
webserver001# cd linux_base-f9
webserver001# make
===>  linux_base-f9-9_1,1 compat.linux.osrelease: 2.4.2 is not supported, please use 2.6.16.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-f9.
 
After loading the linux kernel module:
# sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16

And add that sysctl to /etc/sysctl.conf.
 
I've installed htop without linux compatibility, it requires a mountpoint mounted ... The first post and my answer points to a shared library version not in a /linux/ subdirectory. If that would make the install easier.
Code: 
 mount_linprocfs procfs /compat/linux/proc
maybe required before the port builds, BUT the fix I suggested above might also apply. Good chance anyway for that command line.
