bash: pmm: command not found

Post by Kernel_Mckernel »

no pmm? install isn't recognized either.

gcc seems to be here because it returned:

gcc: fatal error: no input files

but (assuming that's the default c compiler), it failed to create executable via ./configure when I tried to install python (tried sudo so I would have permissions but I was trying to put it somewhere stupid)

full slacko install to (hd0)

downloaded and installed pmm-mod-3.pet fine, but terminal still didn't recognize pmm and I couldn't find anything in the system menu

would appreciate any tips you have to offer, my endgame is having a tiny old laptop I can carry around and do python code in whenever I get a silly idea -- I really like puppy it's so much faster than anything else I've tried!

What is pmm?

Do you mean ppm (Puppy Package Manager) ?

What specific Slacko version??????

If you are trying to compile software you need the specific devx sfs and the kernel sources sfs for the specific Slacko version.
Load them into the operating file system.
These have all the needed stuff to compile.
This stuff is not in the Slacko ISO, because it is not needed for normal operation or install of programs, that are already compiled for Puppy Linux.

OK.

But you need to understand we only know what you tell us.

You downloaded from where?
How did you install it, if you actual did install it?

What exactly did you enter in a terminal?

What is pmm?

What are you trying to do?

Hello @Kernel_Mckernel

Perhaps you know about the command: 'which'
# which geany
/usr/bin/geany
# which grep
/bin/grep
# which terminal
# which ppm
/usr/local/bin/ppm
# which pschedule
/usr/local/bin/pschedule
# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
#

#
I'm using uPupBB32.

собака --> это Русский --> an old dog
"so-baka" (not "co", as in coast or crib).

I'm assuming that pmm is a Python module, quite possibly Python Module Manager.

Sorry for the late reply, I wasn't expecting everyone to jump onboard and be helpful right away. :thumbup:

that sounds like it, but to answer the questions:

Slacko 6.3.2

I live booted slacko64-6.3.2-uefi using rufus, and then used puppy installer and gparted to put it on the hard-drive along with grub. Until I next hear from you guys I'll look for, devx sfs and the kernel sources sfs, and see if I can figure them out.

cheers

I'm just going to quickly check that I didn't just type "pmm" instead of "ppm", that would be embarrassing
