So so so... I spent several hours yesterday installing all the libraries that I needed for my thesis project. I managed to get the project to compile, and after a couple of frustrating hours to link. Then I ran the program, and the dynamic linker failed to load one of the libraries. Aghhh!!! So I figure I should reboot the box. It goes down and doesn't come up, which is starting to become a pattern with the lab machines connected to the internet.
So so so... I'm back today, in the lab, reinstalling all of the libraries I need to compile and link my project to on another machine (I can't wait until I get the process automated). Now the freakin' libraries won't compile. It makes me appreciate FreeBSD sooo much more.
Meanwhile, I'm installing VC .NET on my Virtual PC... is been over two hours and it still hasn't completed the installation. Oh how I wish I could through more memory its way.
Another 14 hour day?? Ten hours and counting.
I ended up stuck with a failid compile of gpgme. The machine's dynamic library handler couldn't load libassuan. :( I opted to reinstall the machine, which went well until I kluged the root password twice in a row - which means I don't know what it is. Which means I'll sort it out later, the
chi isn't there for this today and unlike when working for someone else, I don't have to fight the
chi now, I simply move on to something else. If things work out, I'll end up posting the project I was working on today, otherwise I'll never mention it again.
