hey guys...
i have tried to create a pet file with all the needed files to run the latest version of audacity (so far, version 2.0.0.1)...
this is a i386 version...

https://hotfile.com/dl/155658054/d5969ea/audacity-2.0.0.1libc6-2.15.tar.gz.html

here it is the link to download the file...
it's a tar.gz file with 2 pets...
one is the audacity with (hopefully) all the libs and the other one is a critical lib that can be needed or not...
run audacity from terminal and tell me the output...
if you see an error message saying that GLIBXX_3.4.15 whas not found, or GLIBC_2.15 was not found, install the second pet...
it's just to avoid deleting critical files when uninstalling audacity...

p.s.: i had too much problems uploading files and attach them...
to solve that, i created an account on hotfile just to upload my files...

Hi espertalhao04

Nice work, I have recently compiled Audacity 2.0 as well. Will compare notes. I think some forums users may be willing to host large files -small ones are okay to attach to forum. I've been using sendspace but its far from ideal.

I didn't needed to compile anything...
Just went to search for ubuntu packages for quantal and i just had to run from console to check missing libs and searched for them in ubuntu repositories (http://packages.ubuntu.com) and in debian snapshot servers (http://snapshot.debian.org/)...
Then i started to install lib by lib until i found a weird behavior on Opera 11.60...
Chat on facebook had problems (didn't sent and received messages and images where missing all over the page), some slowlyness and stability problems...
Then i installed the debian package with libc6-2.15 and everything is now working fine...
But the debian package had a problem that made my cpu to be loaded at 100% and i couldn't do anything...
The package never finished to install...
Then i decided to create that small pet with the lib...
It may not be needed in slacko or warry but was needed to me (puppy linux 4.3.1)...
It took 3 days to do this...
I hope it is working...
If you have tested my package, please, tell me the exact output from terminal...
It's important...

Just tried your .pets on Lucid 528.004. Sorry no go. Installed Audacity 2.0.0.1 first, got missing lib message, so installed glibc215. I still get the same output from terminal:

sh-4.1# audacity
audacity: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by audacity)
audacity: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0)
audacity: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0)
audacity: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0)
sh-4.1#

Apparently Audacity still cannot find the necessary libs even after installing the .pet. I tried restarting the computer to no avail. Where does your glibc .pet install to?

[espertalhao04]

i'm having some troubles to find the right lib...
i've found that in debian snapshot servers...
as soon as i find it, i'll post the link to download and the instructions...

[espertalhao04]

i've checked the second pet and it installs to /usr/lib/
it has 2 (relevant) files:

/usr/lib/libc-2.15.so
/usr/lib/libc.so.6

check if everything is ok...

try this on terminal:
strings /usr/lib/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC

the output should be similar to this:



(i've extracted the lib from the pet and put on that folder, since that i have only a pendrive with fat32 filesystem and it deletes the link, which is important for the lib to work)

[kevin bowers]

That's just what I get:

sh-4.1# strings /usr/lib/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC
GLIBC_2.0
GLIBC_2.1
GLIBC_2.1.1
GLIBC_2.1.2
GLIBC_2.1.3
GLIBC_2.2
GLIBC_2.2.1
GLIBC_2.2.2
GLIBC_2.2.3
GLIBC_2.2.4
GLIBC_2.2.6
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.3.2
GLIBC_2.3.3
GLIBC_2.3.4
GLIBC_2.4
GLIBC_2.5
GLIBC_2.6
GLIBC_2.7
GLIBC_2.8
GLIBC_2.9
GLIBC_2.10
GLIBC_2.11
GLIBC_2.12
GLIBC_2.13
GLIBC_2.14
GLIBC_2.15
GLIBC_PRIVATE
GNU C Library (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.15-0ubuntu11) stable release version 2.15, by Roland McGrath et al.
sh-4.1#

If I read this correctly, Audacity is looking for the file in /lib rather than /usr/lib:

sh-4.1# audacity
audacity: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by audacity)
audacity: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0)
audacity: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0)
audacity: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0)
sh-4.1#

So perhaps add a symlink? I'll try that manually & get back to you, probably tomorrow.

[espertalhao04]

try that and tell me the results so that i can post an updated pet...
i've by mistake deleted an older version of libc and Opera got weird...
i put those 2 files in that dir, and everything went ok again...
so, try it...
(right now i'm not trying to use audacity since my savefile is "poisoned" with useless files and there are some pets that i need installed that are not avaiable anymore...)

[darkcity]

Here's my attempt at compiling Audacity 2.0.0 for Puppy.

==Installation==
Install audacity-2.0.0-i486.pet

==Compatibility==
Works on Polarpup 005, Puppy 5.29 (3headed dog), Slacko 5.31, Macpup 528, Dpup Exprimo and Precise 5.3.3.3 . Any feed back welcome, especially how to trim down file size.

==Components==
Audacity binary and support libs can be installed separately-
audacity_BIN-2.0.0-i486.pet
audacity_LIB-2.0.0-i486.pet

==Libraries==
Here is a list of the support libraries.(I've tested on polar and slacko. I've included libjack.so.0.0.28, as slacko doesn't come with this lib)

[espertalhao04]

i didn't needed to compile...
but all the libs included in my pet are from ubuntu and debian...
i've been able to run audacity successfully once...
i didn't done it again because (as i said) my savefile is "poisoned"..
but today i'll try again...
you can check my pet and compare all the libs...
try deleting some libs and check the output...
my advice is to create 2 pets:
one with the audacity bin and all the audacity files (as i got from ubuntu servers) and other with all the required libs...
i've made that version specially to puppy 4.3.1, because it's the version i'm using and i don't have access some needed pets...
they're not available anymore...
but anything i can help, just post here or send pm...

[kevin bowers]

I think I'm dead-in-the-water. I found that /lib/libc.so.6, which is where Audacity is looking, is a symlink to libc-2.11.1.so, which is apparently too early a version. I tried changing the link to point at libc.215.so--DON'T DO IT! It seems to completely disable Rox and any file operations at all, even opening a new Rox window or any program from the desktop icons. I had to boot to CD and put things back.

Somebody with much more know-how than I must tackle this, at least in Lucid 528-004!

[espertalhao04]

try this from your boot cd (without recording session):
1-rename the second pet to .tar.gz (add it to the end)...
2-open and extract the libc-2.15.so and the symlink to anywhere you want...
3-paste BOTH (first the libc-2.15.so) files at /lib/
4-try running audacity or any program that requires this specific lib, from console...

tell me the results...
i'm trying to get as much info as possible...
so that i can know how to make audacity available to every possible puppy version i can find...

@espertalhao04

[espertalhao04]

i can't test you pets right now...
i have my savefile all "poisoned"...
i'll create a new usb drive and i'll test it...
(sorry but this is the only way to get the most reliable results)...
as soon as i test it, i'll post here or pm...

[darkcity]

sorry to hear about your savefile problem, have you tried e2fsck, for example-

e2fsck -y /mnt/home/puppy3head/lucisave-super.2fs
