Ruby and SWIG errors and solutions

While working on my GDK for Ruby I had to use SWIG to create a C++ extension to rub. The following are the errors encountered and their solutions: Error: /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux/calvarygdk.so: /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux/calvarygdk.so: undefined symbol: _ZTV6Vector - /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux/calvarygdk.so (LoadError) from test.rb:1 Solution: I did not have the Vector.cpp file in the same folder as the .i file.

Also for the phy engine, which was being started by the factory inside the initialize method.

Powershell script for converting JPG to TIFF

The following Powershell script will convert a batch of JPEG files to TIFF format: #This Code is released under MIT license [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing") $files_folder = 'C:\path-where-your-jpg-files-are\' $pdfs = get-childitem $files_folder -recurse | where {$_.Extension -match "jpg"} foreach($pdf in $pdfs) { $picture = [System.Drawing.Bitmap]::FromFile( $pdf.FullName ) $tiff = $pdf.FullName.replace('.PDF','').replace('.pdf','').replace('.jpg','').replace('.JPG','') + '.tiff' $picture.Save($tiff) }

Power Automate: SFTP action "Test connection failed"

When I added an SFTP create file action to my Power Automate flow ( https://flow.microsoft.com ) , I got the following error in the action step, within the designer: "Test connection failed" To troubleshoot the Power Automate connection, I had to: go the Power Automate portal then "Data"->"Connections"  the sftp connection was there, I clicked on the ellipsis, and entered the connection info It turns out, that screen provides more details about the connection error. In my case, it was complaining that "SSH host key finger-print xxx format is not supported. It must be in 'MD5' format". I had provided the sha fingerprint that WinScp shows. Instead, I needed to use the MD5 version of the fingerprint. To get that, I had to run in command line (I was in a folder that had openssh in it): ssh -o FingerprintHash=md5 mysftpsite.com To get the fingerprint in MD5 format. I took the string (without the "MD5:" part of the string) and put

Alert if file missing using Powershell

The following Powershell script can be used to send an email alert when a file is missing from a folder or it is the same file from a previous check: $path_mask = "yourfile_*.txt" $previous_file_store = "lastfileread.txt" $script_name = "File Check" ###### Functions ########## Function EMailLog($subject, $message) {    $emailTo = "juanito@yourserver.com"    $emailFrom = "alert@yourserver.com"    $smtpserver="smtp.yourserver.com"       $smtp=new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)    $smtp.Send($emailFrom, $emailTo, $subject, $message) } Try {    #get files that match the mask    $curr_file = dir $path_mask |  select name    if ($curr_file.count -gt 0)    {        #file found        #check if the file is different from the previous file read        $previous_file = Get-Content $previous_file_store        $curr_file_name = $curr_file.Item(0).Name        if ($
