Buiding barebones QNX C++ program throws "Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0". See sample output below

It seems like "C:\QNX650\host\win32\x86\usr\bin\msys-1.0.dll" needs to be loaded at specific address, to fix do the following: 
  • Install 32-bit version of Git for Windows - it ships with rebase.exe
  • Then run the following commands:

    Create a backup, just incase we need to revert back.
    cp "C:\QNX650\host\win32\x86\usr\bin\msys-1.0.dll" "C:\QNX650\host\win32\x86\usr\bin\msys-1.0.dll.bak"
    

    Change directory to the rebase.exe executable
    cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin"
    

    Perform rebase
    rebase.exe -b 0x50000000 C:\QNX650\host\win32\x86\usr\bin\msys-1.0.dll

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui . This should have been part of dependencies when installing the application but well.... Below is the screen shot of the error message. References: http://software.1713.n2.nabble.com/MonoDevelop-and-openSUSE-12-1-td7462957.html [2013/04/09] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 12.3 and also the same fix. [2014/11/02] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 13.3, mondevelop 3.0.6 and the same fix.

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file install VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Ubuntu 11.10

Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8). All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. File: does not exist. [ OK ] * Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] Though it looks like installation was fine but I am concerned about its effects to VirtualBox functionality. To fix this, do: $: cd /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost $: sudo rm -r 4.1.4 $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Of course you have to re
