Installing Issue in the Debian-Linux Server

Question

I am trying to install Kyoto Cabinet in the Debian-Linux Server by using this commands. However, when I execute

./configure

Command, it gives error

-bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Can anybody help me why is this happening and how to solve this issue ? Or any idea why this error can happen ?

Answer 1

Because of the ^M character, the configure file is probably using Windows-style line endings.

Try to convert it to use UNIX-style:

dos2unix configure

or in vi type:

:set fileformat=unix

than save the script and try again.

Answer 2

kyotocabinet is now packaged in debian sid

apt-get install libkyotocabinet-dev --install-suggests

you may need to add this to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian sid main

Answer 3

For me, an initial installation of Kyoto Cabinet (K.C.) was unsuccessful because C++ and zlib were missing from minimal Centos 6. Eventually, these omissions were discovered and K.C. installed (initial instructions from http://skipperkongen.dk/2013/02/14/giving-kyotocabinet-a-go/):

yum -y install gcc-c++ yum -y install zlib-devel

wget http://fallabs.com/kyotocabinet/pkg/kyotocabinet-1.2.76.tar.gz tar xzvf kyotocabinet-1.2.76.tar.gz cd kyotocabinet-1.2.76 ./configure && make && make install # takes some time!

Test Kyoto Cabinet with: kcprototest wicked 5

Answer 4

To install the Kyoto Cabinet API for Python (initial instructions from others):

Test Kyoto Cabinet with: kcprototest wicked 5

As root, of course: cd $HOME

yum -y install python-devel

wget http://fallabs.com/kyotocabinet/pythonlegacypkg/kyotocabinet-python-legacy-1.18.tar.gz

tar xzvf kyotocabinet-python-legacy-1.18.tar.gz

cd kyotocabinet-python-legacy-1.18

python setup.py install # may take some time!

Create and run a test program, e.g., testkc.py, from the Kyoto Cabint web site. It should run OK.

You probably want to make K.C. available outside root. Create a new file: vi /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usrlocal.conf

and add the line: /usr/local/lib

Then run ldconfig -v

Move the testkc.py to a user account and run it there; it should be OK
