`gem_original_require’: no such file to load — zlib (LoadError)

Marouan OMEZZINE — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:21:30 +0000

You may have faced a such a error, when trying to execute gem list :

//lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)
	from //lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'

To solve this issue, move to the zlib/ folder, it should be something like this /usr/src/ruby-1.8.6-pXXX/ext/zlib/

execute the extconf.rb :

1	root@xen1:/usr/src/ruby-1.8.6-p398/ext/zlib# ruby extconf.rb

If every things are ok, you should see:

checking for deflateReset() in -lz... yes
checking for zlib.h... yes
checking for kind of operating system... Unix
creating Makefile

compile and deploy zlib by runnning both commands:

1 2	sudo make sudo make install

Make sure gem command is woking:

gem list

You should see:

Error: Failed to get the adb version: Cannot run program … on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)

Marouan OMEZZINE — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 17:51:05 +0000

I met the following error when trying to launch an Android project using eclipse:

[2010-10-23 19:31:02 - adb]Failed to get the adb version: Cannot run program "/usr/src/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/adb": java.io.IOException: error=2, cialis effectiveness No such file or directory

After googling I found those useful steps to make it running properly:

1. install getlibs from http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb

2. open terminal and go to your android folder and then platforms/android-1.6/tools

3. run this command from terminal getlibs aapt

Creating init.d script for Juggernaut

Marouan OMEZZINE — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 10:26:04 +0000

The Juggernaut plugin for Ruby on Rails aims to revolutionize your Rails app by letting the server initiate a connection and push data to the client. In other words your app can have a real time connection to the server with the advantage of instant updates. Although the obvious use of this is for chat, the most exciting prospect is collaborative cms and wikis.

#!/bin/sh -e 
APP_PATH=/home/zooz.com/current 
JUGGERNAUT_CONFIG="$APP_PATH/juggernaut.yml" 
JUGGERNAUT_PID="$APP_PATH/tmp/pids/juggernaut.pid" 
JUGGERNAUT_LOG="$APP_PATH/log/juggernaut.log"

case $1 in 
        start) 
                echo "Starting Juggernaut ..."

Linux File Structure

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’ (using password: NO)

Marouan OMEZZINE — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 14:10:29 +0000

Today I got the error below :

1	ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

after typing :

1	mysql -u root

I don’t know why ? but I know how to solve it.
First of all let’s disable password authentication :
Stop your MySQL daemon:

1	/etc/init.d/mysql stop

1	/etc/init.d/mysqld stop

Then run the following command line in background :

1	mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

Secondly run :

1	mysql -u root

Finally, In your MySQL command line prompt issue the following command:

USE mysql;
UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD("my_password") WHERE user="root";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT

Password is now reset to my_password. So just restart your MySQL server using :

1	/etc/init.d/mysql restart

1	/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

and use your new password to authenticate :

1	mysql -u root -p

All that remains is to enter your password.

GTalk: Text Formatting; bold, italic and strikethrough.

Marouan OMEZZINE — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:17:07 +0000

To have more fun with GTalk (Google Talk) you can add some text formatting :

to make it bold, simply use * * (asterisk) between the text that intended to be bold in font style : i.e. *marouan* is rendred as marouan.
to make it italic, simply use _ _ (underscore) between the text that intended to be italic in font style: i.e. _marouan_ is rendred as marouan.
to make it strikethrough, simply use – - (dash) between the text that intended to be strikethrough in font style: i.e. -marouan- is rendred as marouan.

This is a stupid post but if you are addicted to Google Talk, like me, you will have more fun with GTalk using those few styling tips.
