If you’re getting a similar error to this while trying to compile java files (.jar) then you’re probably missing the jdk, in ubuntu it’s called “sun-java6-jdk” so just go ahead and install that and all should be good!

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/alex/kinect/OpenNI/Platform/Linux-x86/Build/Wrappers/OpenNI.java’
javac -d Release ../../../../../Wrappers/OpenNI.java/src/org/OpenNI/*.java
/bin/sh: javac: not found
make[1]: *** [../../../Bin/Release/org.OpenNI.jar] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/kinect/OpenNI/Platform/Linux-x86/Build/Wrappers/OpenNI.java’
make: *** [Wrappers/OpenNI.java] Error 2

FIX:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

How to Install the ‘gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer’ Extension

Alex — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:38:58 +0000

The mediaplayer widget found on github, created by eonpatapon – (https://github.com/eonpatapon/gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer).

I’ve been searching for a while for a good, solid widget style thing that’ll sit in the top of the gnome-shell panel which can control the music that’s playing in banshee, rhythmbox or whatever else you want to use to play your tunes.

Installation:

1. First you’ll need to grab some dependencies:

sudo apt-get install git gnome-common gnome-tweak-tool

2. Next download the files from the git repository as below (this will download the folder to whatever directory you’re currently in, in terminal):

git clone https://github.com/eonpatapon/gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer.git

3. Once it’s finished download (it shouldn’t take too long it’s only about 2.30MB as of writing this guide), you’ll want to install using the following commands:

cd gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer
./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

4. That’s it, it’s installed. Next you’re going to want to enable it, run gnome-tweak-tool and under extensions slide the newly installed extension to ON and it should appear next to the “Universal Access Settings” in the top right.

Failed to build Planner-0.14.4 in Arch Linux

When trying to install Gnome Planner ( http://live.gnome.org/Planner ) in Arch Linux, I came across this error:

Error:

/usr/bin/pygobject-codegen-2.0: line 11: /usr/bin/python2: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [planner.c] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/Desktop/planner-0.14.4/python‘
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/Desktop/planner-0.14.4′
make: *** [all] Error 2

To fix this, I made a symbolic link from /usr/bin/python2.7 to /usr/bin/python2, this should work with other similar errors involving missing python2 file.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2

Once you have made the made the symbolic link continue to make and install the program as usual.
