Installing Namebench [Solved]

[chasha420]

Hi guys...I was looking for a way to get this utility called namebench...it wasn't available in entropy but saw it in Portage & wanted to install it but it had a lot of dependencies which I had to manually install from entropy but still finally it failed to get installed @portage cos it needed python to be recompiled using the tk useflag.

Enlik @Sabayon channel adviced me to re-open this bug: "https://bugs.sabayon.org/2296" but I'm not sure how to do that

Also here's the fail log:

Code: Select all

# emerge -1v --nodeps net-analyzer/namebench --ask

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y

Anyway please advice me if there's anything else I should do...but for the time being I've succeeded in manually downloading & installing it using python from source...but it still lacks the GUI cos TK flag isn't there.

Thanks in advance!

The default python package in Sabayon won't be including tk because of all the dependencies required (note, I'm not a dev, but I'm sure they will cite the same reasons gentoo doesn't include it by default).

But, I do see a dev-lang/python-tk (http://packages.sabayon.org/show/python ... 5,standard)

I would think installing python-tk is probably what you need.

Thanks Stupot...I did try installing that too directly from entropy...but it made no difference. Portage doesn't recognise that

[Stupot]

My guess is you probably need to switch your system python to the python-tk you just installed via eselect. Unfortunately, I'm not at home at the moment to be able to confirm that.

[chasha420]

My guess is you probably need to switch your system python to the python-tk you just installed via eselect. Unfortunately, I'm not at home at the moment to be able to confirm that.

Hi Stupot...I installed python-tk-2.7.x.x and then tried switching python version using eselect but it doesn't show up on the list.

Code: Select all

# eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7 *


Guess it doesn't work that way

[Stupot]

I installed dev-lang/python-tk on my system and it pulled in all the libraries needed. no need to switch python interpreters, it's just adding missing libraries.

http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter

That worked for me after installing python-tk.

Code: Select all

stupot-Desktop stupot # equo install dev-lang/python-tk-2.7.2-r3


Make sure you are installing the right python-tk package.

It should be able to compile after that.

[chasha420]

Wow Stupot could you give me some of your magical powers? Lol....I still can't do it.

Code: Select all

# emerge -1v net-analyzer/namebench --ask

I did install the same python-tk package...so what went wrong?

[Stupot]

Well, all I did was give python the ability to use the tk stuff.

However, the emerge fails:

I'm don't really have much experience with ebuilds, but I got it working by simply removing the tk dependency from an ebuild and building it that way. It's not really the right way to do it. We should change the ebuild to look for python-tk, but I don't know how to write them.

Here's what you'll need to do.

After installing everything (especially python-tk) you can from entropy, install

Code: Select all

#emerge graphy

to get your last dependency.

Then you're going to take this ebuild and build it locally.

First thing we need to do is make sure your /etc/make.conf has the correct line in it so it can find your custom ebuilds. Simply add:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage/"

Then, put this ebuild in the following location /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/namebench/namebench-1.3.1.ebuild

Code: Select all

Finally:

#emerge namebench

Note: I took the steps for building from your own build here:
http://linuxreviews.org/gentoo/ebuilds/

just in case I typed something wrong.

And yes, I did test it out and it ran graphically, so it should work.

That said, I can't say this is supported or even that we're doing it the right way. I know that ebuild shouldn't be the way it is, but I lack the know how to do it proper.

Wow stupot...thanks for all of that but I didn't really have the time to get to that...and I installed Python-tk and also I previously installed namebench from python source...but since python-tk has now been installed...the GUI interface runs flawlessly. I guess I don't even need to bother about installing namebench from portage anymore.

Thanks for the help!
