Clipboard not working on geany via macports on mavericks - macports

I installed macports on mavericks, changed the macports flags to
+no_x11
-x11
+quartz
Then proceeded to install geany.
Now the clipboard does not work for geany at all. Not outside of geany nor inside it. The clipboard exchange does work on other X11 apps, like xterm.
Any ideas?

I dislike seeing unanswered answers, so I will try to answer. My answer is shallow in my opinion, but I hope it helps.
Shallow answer:
There is some odd bug associated with the macports and clipboard.

I hope you are satisfied with that answer. Unfortunately, I do not know macports well enough to explain why the clipboard and macports have conflicts. All that I know is that there is some bug.

How to correctly run Cuda toolkit in Ubuntu in the WSL (eventually to be used for YOLO)?

I followed the tutorial here from the Medium: https://medium.com/#GuruAtWork/setup-fastai-ubuntu-on-windows-10-44ca50b13a9
I was following it well until a MinGW was used for command lines. I am not sure how they went about doing this as the only way I could get nvcc to work is with sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit. However, this does not seem to complete the same thing as their tool kit is installed as if the exe was just run with Windows. However, that, of course, doesn't work with the Ubuntu. Let me know what you think, thank you.
AFAIK it's just not possible right now to do so from WSL. The link from Medium only sets it up for the Git bash prompt, which is not the same as WSL.

GDB on Mac OS Sierra, trying to uninstall and remove all files completely but can't

I should preface this by stating I'm working with Xcode on macOS Sierra 10.12.6.
I installed GDB with homebrew and it appeared to install fine until I tried to use it. In terminal it kept saying that it was not a valid command. (I'm new to C and was working with my professor. Even he was baffled when I tried to use it after downloading it in front of him). So later I tried to install it by creating the make file and still having problems. I then used homebrew again but to uninstall and reinstall, still having problems.
Now I'm at the point where I can't even run my C files when I use gcc to compile them. I simply get a statement that unable to open file. I've read someone suggest to sudo mv /usr/local /usr/_local and I'm notified that I don't have permission, even after entering in my password.
I've gotten every error when I try to remove all items belonging to gdb. I've gone as far as removing Xcode in hopes that I can do a fresh install of it all.
I'm at the point where I've begun looking into removing my macports entirely.
I'm looking for any advice into how I can try to start off from a clean slate. I need to use gdb on a project that is due and can't get this up and running. Please help talk me from a ledge!
EDIT:
I have used Sublime to create a simple Hello World file and it compiles and runs fine with gcc. So my project file has become corrupted somehow. At least I can calm down a bit. But I would still like to get this gdb issue figured out and install a fresh copy with everything old removed.

I don't know how to reinstall gdb on macOS, but be aware that gdb is broken on macOS Sierra as of now (at least debugging dynamic libraries), see Bug report.
So if you even get gdb correctly installed you can probably end up with nothing (gdb won't be able to debug what you want).
Try making your file executable using gcc -Wall -g $fileName.c -o $fileName. This will show all the errors that might exists. Secondly, if it doesn't work and you absolutely need to use gdb, using a VM of Linux(recommend Ubuntu if you're new to Linux or Mate) is a good alternative. You then have to just use sudo apt-get install gdb and even install gdb-dashboard git-hub gdb-dashboard if you want to do some serious debugging. That's the quickest fix that I can think of you are in a hurry. Btw good VMs are VirtualBox and Parallel Desktop(if you want to have access to your local files from the VM).

Can’t find C header files on Mac OS X

I upgraded to Yosemite, and now all my compilers (from the command line—gcc and icc) are giving me errors like: cannot open source file “ctype.h"
Does anyone know how to fix this? Do I need to reinstall the compilers?
OK, not sure what’s going on here, but after updating to Xcode 6.1.1 and installing the associated command line tools, icc seems like it can now find the system headers. Now having a separate issue with gcc, will post separately…

After software installation: symbol lookup error

I've been installing "hamlib 1.2.15.3" (sourceforge) on my RaspberryPi under Raspbian and everything
worked great for a while.
When I noticed an unimplemented feature, I downloaded the newest developer version here:
here (something like this, but this link may change every day: http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/hamlib-3.0~git-6e44327-20140321.tar.gz)
So I downloaded it and did the usual: untar to a folder, ./configure, make, make install.
After all was done, I launched rotctl and there comes this message: rotctl: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libhamlib.so.2: undefined symbol: g313_caps
I thought the package wasn't flawless and I tried to install the old version again. But it's still like that. Also I tried ldconfig every now and then.
To be honest: I'm a beginner when it comes to linux, so I don't know what I have done there. Maybe I was doing a major mistake, a normal linux user wouldn't do. Maybe it was wrong to install that package without uninstalling the older version. Also I don't even know how to do that.
Basically there is only one file in the source code, I need to change to the newer version. So, if there is anyone who could tell me, how to make a clean uninstall, I could replace only this file in the source and install again. I think that would do the thing.
Or shall I rather ask the people from the hamlib developer team?
Thank you in advance.

How do I get GCC on OS X Lion?

I recently bought a new Mac and did a time machine restore of my old mac & updated the xCode version to the latest version. After the move I have lost the ability to use Make and GCC; saying these commands are unavailable. I use Make and GCC to develop for homework assignments for classes that I later SCP up to a Linux box at school then run from there.
How do I get GCC and Make for Mac OS Lion? I've seen some articles on how to install via source via compiling but they automatically assume you have GCC installed, which I do not.
Please help!
gcc should be in /Developer/usr/bin/. Check there.
You have to download Xcode from the app store
You have to run the Install Xcode application
Within Xcode go to Preferences -> Downloads and click install for the command line tools
You'll find the tools at the usual place, for example /usr/bin/make.
See also post on superuser.com
You can access the App Store and download XCode. It's free. It will give you llvm (compiler), make and related tools.
Unfortunately justing updating the path (which I found not in any /Developer but actually in /Applications/Xcode.app) doesn't solve other issues like missing manpages. Apple has released a new developer download for command line developer tools. Either go directly to Apple's developer page, for find a little more info and the link here.
