Belastingaangifte 2014 en (K)Ubuntu

Posted by on Sunday, 2 March, 2014

Vorig jaar schreef ik over hoe je het (32-bit) belastingaangifte programma voor 2012 op (K)Ubuntu aan de praat kreeg. Natuurlijk is het in 2013 weer nèt iets anders.

  1. Download de tar.gz van belastingdienst.nl
  2. tar -xzf ib2013_linux.tar.gz
  3. cd ib2013/bin
  4. ./ib2013ux

En dan:

bash: ./ib2013ux: No such file or directory

Belastingdienst aangifte: libXext.so.6 not found

Posted by on Saturday, 9 March, 2013

Al jaren ben ik blij dat de Nederlandse belastingdienst linux gebruikers serieus neemt met onder andere het programma voor aangifte inkomstenbelasting en de voorlopige aanslag.

error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

spaces in MiXiM makemakefiles

Posted by on Friday, 20 July, 2012

MiXiM uses a ‘makemakefiles’ script, which makes the Makefiles by means of the following command:

make -f makemakefiles

However, after some modifications (adding own stuff) it stopped making new Makefile files. From visual inspection, nothing is wrong with the file. However, there’s a subtle thing you may want to check: the TAB in front of each line. DO NOT make the mistake of adding a few spaces, this is not just there to prettify things, opp_makemake apparently delimits on this TAB and gets severely upset from spaces there.

Removing any spaces and adding a TAB fixes the problem.

Clustercomputing with mpirun and torque

Posted by on Wednesday, 18 July, 2012

Some time ago I wrote about Clustercomputing with Torque, with a focus on discrete event simulations (using the method of independent replications). Turns out that method was not really efficient, so we try something else. Read the rest of this entry »
