Problem installing guitarix 'zita-convolver.h' not found

[nostaw]

Hey there,

I'm having trouble installing guitarix. Here is what the terminal says:

Code: Select all

Checking for program g++,c++             : ok /usr/bin/g++ 
Checking for program cpp                 : ok /usr/bin/cpp

Checking for header zita-convolver.h     : [color=#FF0000]not found[/color] 
 error: the configuration failed (see '/home/josh/guitarix-0.07.1/build/config.log')

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 with real-time kernel.
Does anyone know where to get, and how to install 'zita-convolver.h'?
Sorry, I'm new to linux, but have a good understanding of it already. I'm a long time computer user/programmer for windows systems. After testing out ubuntu, I quit using windows ever again!

Thanks...

Hi nostaw

and welcome.

zita-convolver.h is part af the zita-convolver libary by Fons Adriaensen, you could found it here:
http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/index.html
I guess you could also install it over synaptic, but I don't know exactly for ubuntu 9.10

Anyway, you could install guitarix comfortable over philip's ppa, by add it to your source list in synaptic.

The easiest way to install this PPA is through Synaptic.
Open it in System->Administration->Synaptic

Go to Settings->Repositories.
On the 2nd tab, "Other Software" add the PPA code (one of the displayed before)

Then click on the big "Reload" button.

"PPA code"

Code: Select all

ppa:philip5/extra

Hi brummer

You are a legend! Thanks for your help. I'm adding it now. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks bro!

Hey brummer,

Nah, it didn't work. I get the same message as above... I'm guessing it's either something to do with ubuntu or my hardware?
Thanks anyway.

I wish there was an install file from guitarix. I just want to have it up and running instantly with no messing around ETC... I've been witnessing alot of programs that won't work on Linux since i started using it 2 weeks ago... Even 'stop motion' wont capture from my web cam...

But thanks for the support brummer... I appreciate it.

I didn't mean add the repository to your synaptic and compile guitarix again, normaly, after a update in synaptic, you could simple install guitarix with synaptic, no need to build it from source.
Search your synaptic for guitarix

Does anyone know where to get, and how to install 'zita-convolver.h'? Sorry, I'm new to linux, but have a good understanding of it already.

As said above, installing guitarix from a PPA package might be easier than building from source.

If you want to build from source, however, 'apt-file' is your friend for finding such required header files:

Code: Select all

arnouten@bird:~$ apt-file update
(...)
arnouten@bird:~$ apt-file search zita-convolver.h
libzita-convolver-dev: /usr/include/zita-convolver.h

This tells me, to get zita-convolver.h on my system, I have to install the 'libzita-convolver-dev' package.

Hey brummer,
Ahhh.. Now I see what you mean. It's installed now. But when I try and run it nothing happens... (the program won't load.) Any suggestions?

Hey raboof,
Thanks for the info. I'll give it a go.
Thanks dude!

when you open a terminal, and write guitarix and press enter, what did the terminal give as output ?

It simply says: 'Illegal instruction'

But it is added to my audio/video directory for some reason? (But won't start up)

Oh, I forgot to mention that i installed a version of guitarix from here:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/autostatic/ppa ... /guitarix/

I think that's why what you have suggested won't work???
How do I remove it so I can try your way?

[brummer]

http://ppa.launchpad.net/autostatic/ppa ... /guitarix/

use pillips ppa, like I suggested,

It simply says: 'Illegal instruction'

that means that the binary autostatic have build isn't compatible with you CPU.

use pillips ppa or build guitarix from sorce, that what I suggest.

my CPU is: AMD Sempron 2400+ (pc i'm using now))

I have a Laptop that is years newer with dual core cpu. but I spilled wine into it via keyboard and it won't work anymore LOL!! I guess that is ACER for ya.... I'm quite pissed off about my laptop because it cost me $2000 Australian dollars!
To get it fixed I have to pay $800 to $1200!!! I might as well get a new one. But it better be water proof.

Peace... And thanks for your help.

[brummer]

You could use guitarix well with your AMD, but you must choose the right binary to get it work.
Pillip have binary's for AMD also in his repository, that's why I suggest it. Synaptic take care that you get the right one.
You could also build it from source, follow raboof's suggestion and install the needed -dev packages.

but I spilled wine into it via keyboard and it won't work anymore LOL!! I

sad things could happen when you drunken

Hey there brummer,

Just wondering how I can UN-install software via PPA?
I need to UN-install guitarix so I can try your method for installation...

Because I've spent years using windows software, I am new to how linux works..
With windows you simply just install a program and it works right away. What is up with having to constantly use the terminal in linux to get a program to work? It's quite frustrating...

Cheers dude...


Haha yeah bad things happen that way


How do i do that? (build from source) Like I said, linux in new to me.
