My University course will be using VTK 5.0.4 for Data Visualization. The Professor did not provide any guide on how to install VTK on OSX. Prof says to check the website http://www.vtk.org/VTK/resources/software.html , but I don't see any versions for 5.0.4.
Is it possible to install this version of VTK on Mac Maverick operating system? The textbook to be used is http://www.vtk.org/VTK/help/book.html .
The Prof hinted that the VTK maintainer Kitware probably does not have any VTK binary installation file for OSX Maverick and I may need to install VTK starting from the source code. How do I do this?
I seriously doubt 5.0.4 will build on Mavericks. I'd suggest using the latest version instead. You can also use homebrew to install the latest VTK.
Probably this helps you to go on

I have gcc 6.3.0 and to run tensorflow 2.11.0 along with cuda 11.2, I require gcc version 9.3.1, but I just cannot find a simple and straightforward way to do that. Some people say install mysys, other sites point to sourceforge download link, while download links on mingw site point to github repos, I just don't understand how to upgrade this thing.
It would be really helpful if someone could explain it like you are explaining it to complete newbie, step by step.
Last time, I downloaded mysys2 because someone told that it will automatically upgrade gcc to latest version, mysys2 came with a python 3.10, and I was working with python 3.9, and it created a lot of issues, later I had to reset my pc. That's way I just want to know the direct way to upgrade this thing instead of upgrading other software. I also tried by downloading mingw, but the installer available on sourceforge gives gcc 6.3.0 and not the latest gcc.
And what is this cygwin which gives unix like environment, why do i require unix like environment. Even if cygwin can do it easily, I am hesitant to download cygwin, cause i don't want another repeat of tragedy that happened due to mysys2, afterall, installing a complete set of programs that i don't know anything about and will probably never use will only create additional errors.
I have recently installed cmake for my Clion project, using Cygwin. Its version was 3.10 but I had some troubles with Conan packet manager, and I have been adviced to upgrade cmake to version 3.11.
As cygwin didn't provide this version, I tried to install it "by hand", but it failed. So I unistalled cmake, and tried to download it again from Cygwin.
For some reason, Cygwin only provides me version 3.6.2. I don't understand why.
However, I would like to know how to install the lastest version of cmake using Cygwin?
I am working on Windows 10.
Thanks in advance.
cygwin cmake last version is 3.6.2
https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/cmake/
If you were using the 3.10, it was not the cygwin package.
If you want to use it in cygwin you have two choice:
- build it by yourself
- ask the cygwin package maintainer (but he seems not very active recently)
I'm trying to understand why the easy_install of pyicu works and pip install doesn't (see below). also trying to understand "What is the difference between a PyPi project with a universal wheel and one without?" Will installs be "easier?". If so, will this merge request solve the problem of polyglot not installing on an Anaconda machine?
Need help/advice/solutions on how to best resolve python project install issue that is tied to underlying dependencies. I have two local fixes in GitHub Gists but would like to know the best way to have this fix "out there" so people like me can find it. What is the normal Python Community approach? The problem centers around three projects:
polyglot - a python multilingual NLP toolkit
pyicu - Python extension wrapping IBM's International Components for Unicode C++ library (ICU).
pycld2 - CLD (Compact Language Detection) library as maintained by Dick Sites
The goal:
Install polyglot on a MacOSX computer running Python Anaconda Distribution
Make the fix I found available to everyone; lots of issues published about the problem.
Here's the error trace:
The Problem (Lots of them):
Core polyglot dependency, pyicu, does not properly install when you use pip install. Discovered you must use easy_install for it build properly and work on MacOSX. If you don't use the easy_install, you get:
polyglot requires icu 54.1.1 to run in Anaconda, but...
Homebrew, the MacOSX tool to install icu, only installs version 58.1. That version is too new. Old stackoverflows advise brew install icu4c to fix problem, but Homebrew evolution makes that advice obsolete now.
pyicu does not have a universal wheel; but I created a merge request to add one to pyicu. Only way to fix this is with this channel's icu, https://anaconda.org/ccordoba12/icu. conda install icu will not work, but that's the normal conda way of doing things.
*pycld2 - CLD (Compact Language Detection) becomes a problem because after I build the wheel file locally, have to download the project and run setup.py install locally. There has to be a better way to do this right?
What I've Done to Solve the problem (should I do more, what should I do next?)
Created two Gists that can successfully install polyglot on a Mac running Anaconda for Python 2.7 or Python 3.5
Python 2.7 fix
Python 3.5 fix
created the merge request for pyicu
Both Gist fixes work. But, is this error in install tied to the wheel? If I installed pyicu with easy_install, the install works. But, with pip, it doesn't?
What are the steps to take in the Python community to fix it so people can find the solution or just pip install with no problems?
I did a test, and if the wheel file is built, the pip works with no issues.
I am wondering if anyone can show me where to find or help me
how to update mono 3.8 on opensuse 13.2.
I want to update it to new version, because this one
have too many bugs and dont run goo with my aplications
on my server.
The Mono project provides one-click installs for openSUSE, currently versions up to 4.0.4.1-0 are available.
openSUSE and SLES
You can install using SUSE One-Click files (see below for
descriptions):
mono-devel
mono-complete
referenceassemblies-pcl
Ref: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#opensuse-and-sles
I tried to install mono and monodevelop on centOS 6.3.
After many hours I was able to install mono but failed with monodevelop.
I'm really astonished how difficult and time consuming it is, to get a recent mono/monodevelop version on linux installed.
Is there nobody willing to write and maintain an install/compile tutorial to get the most recent mono/monodevelop/monodata/ASP.NET MVC/... version on the major linux distributions (Centos, Ubuntu, Suse, Debian) installed?
I think many people developing on Windows (with limited linux knowledge) would like to start using mono, if the boarding hurdle would be somehow lower.
It may be the most important to make Mono more used and more visible.
Please, write a tested tutorial (script) for compiling mono/monodevelop.
Thank you!
I have created a project on Open Build Service, which produces builds of the latest MonoDevelop 4.0.10 for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora.
see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:tpokorra:mono
For installation instructions with apt-get or yum, see:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=monodevelop-opt
I hope this will increase the usage of MonoDevelop on Linux Desktop environments.
Monodevelop 4.
If you use any *buntu. Check this.
"You can open up the terminal and install it via the following:
1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keks9n/monodevelop-latest
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install monodevelop-latest"

Xamarin should be doing a better job at publishing the linux packages in a one-click manner. I don't care what linux distro (SuSE, RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu etc) - just pick any one as the supported one and publish for it. It seemed that it used to be SuSE but even that has old packages as seen within Zypper/YaST.
Update Mono framework
Having said that, to update the Mono framework itself, without letting go of the package managers try this. This will work as long as the project dutifully publishes the RPMs. You don't want to build from source since it's a more fickle process and the setup distracts from your real objective (i.e. develop).
Obviously, please replace the URL below to what will be latest by the time you're reading this.
mkdir mono-rpms
cd mono-rpms
wget --reject "index.html*" -nd -r -e robots=off --no-parent http://download.mono-project.com/archive/3.2.3/linux/x64/
sudo zypper install *rpm
Update MonoDevelop (the IDE)
Timotheus Pokorra's answer indicates he's filling in some of the usability void left by Xamarin (Thanks Timotheus!!). You can install MonoDevelop via
http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=monodevelop-opt
Note that on SuSE I get the error
Problem: nothing provides liberation-mono-fonts needed by mono-libgdiplus-opt-3.0.12-7.1.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install monodevelop-opt-4.0.12-5.2.x86_64
Solution 2: break mono-libgdiplus-opt-3.0.12-7.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
I (very reluctantly) selected to break the dependency. Note that I already had liberation-fonts (via sudo zypper install liberation-fonts). I don't know if its the same/different as liberation-mono-fonts. Anyway, hope Timotheus fixes it when he has a moment.
I'm not sure if you've already seen this, but this may help:
http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments
The most common problem that new developers have when coming to Linux from systems like Windows is not properly setting up their environment variables and so when they do the standard ./configure && make && make install routine, when it involves a number of source packages (like Mono does), any package that depends on the core package won't pick up the correct location for that base package.
Your question really doesn't explain what parts you found confusing or difficult so it's hard to address those issues.
For people unfamiliar with setting up Linux systems, it may be easier if you just go with a system like Ubuntu which has fairly recent pre-built packages (although not the latest - I don't think any Linux system keeps up with Mono releases) rather than wrestling with the learning curve of how to build everything yourself.
It is confirmed that in the near future Xamarin will support Linux and provide binaries (mono and mainline applications) for Debian and Centos derivatives, and their are already packages for Debian and Centos derivatives for technical preview. So cheers and no more pain of compiling and even parallel mono installaions.It can not get more easy than this. Check here
