No this is not a typo it is an instruction. You may want to review UNIX 
commands.
Read the text before copying and pasting the commands. You are supposed to  
decide where you want to install XORG before running the commands. "" 
should be the location where you want to install XORG, either in "/usr" or " 
/opt"

You are not installing a package at this point so there is no ./configure. You 
are only setting up the environment for the XORG build. You may want to read 
the 
text rather than just copying and pasting everything.

the sym link didn't work. I looked for the IcedTeaPlugin.so and found it in

I looked in /usr/share/gir-1.0 and did not see Gst-0.10.gir
I reinstalled gstreamer-0.10.36 and after the second install of gstreamer 
Gst-0.10.gir was where it is supposed to be. I don't know why it didn't install

They are there for historical reasons.  LFS-7.2 specifically says to use 
udev-lfs-188-3.tar.bz2.  Why did you use a different file?

That said, I'll move them to an archive directory.

I was installing udev-lfs-188 from BLFS and it doesn't say which tarball to use 
so I didn't see the LFS 7.2 direction. I will send the specific error message 
when I get to the build computer.

Hello,

the first step is to verify that the file 'keysymdef.h' is actually
installed. It should live in /usr/include/X11 and should have been
installed with xproto-7.0.23. So, first, verify that it is installed
correctly. Instructions for xproto are on the Xorg Protocol Headers page
of the book.

Lars

Thanks for responding. Here is a copy of  /usr/include/X11.

carl [ /usr/include/X11 ]$ ls
ap_keysym.h  keysymdef.h  Xatom.h   Xfuncs.h   Xpoll.h   XWDFile.h

HPkeysym.h   Xarch.h  Xfuncproto.h  Xos_r.hXw32defs.h

It looks like keysymdef.h is there. 

Fixed it by removing everything that was installed in previous efforts and 
reinstalling. I did find that somehow some of the items were installed in 
/usr/local/include and /usr/local/share. I goofed somewhere along the line.

I don't use dhcp myself.  I prefer static addresses to avoid problems 
like yours.  My response was probably from an old version on the 
internet.  The most recent version is dhcpcd-5.2.2.tar.bz2.

I downloaded that and found:

-C, --nohook script
  Don't run this hook script.  Matches full name, or prefixed
  with 2 numbers optionally ending with .sh.

  So to stop dhcpcd from touching your DNS or MTU settings
  you would do:-
  dhcpcd -C resolv.conf -C mtu eth0

man dhcpcd

-R  Prevents dhcpcd from replacing existing /etc/resolv.conf file.

Thanks I will take your word for it but the above line doesn't seem to exist in

It is definitely a nameserver thing. I have dhcpcd installed and it
generates /etc/resolv.conf automatically but lists my dsl modem as the
nameserver. When I manually entered the nameservers of my isp everything
worked. So now I have to figure out how to reconfigure the hooks so I
don't have to manually change the /etc/resolv.conf on every reboot.

wget, seamonkey and lynx

2010-05-11 Thread Carl Thorn 
I was curious to know what the differences in the way lynx and seamonkey/wget 
communicate with website servers. After several attempts and building beyond 
linux from scratch. I finally got X and fluxbox to work and I also have 
Seamonkey installed and it seems to work ok but it won't connect to urls but 
finds i.p. addressed with no problem. I have the same problem with wget. Urls 
won't load but I.P. addresses will. Lynx has no problem whatsoever with urls. 
Whats the difference?

You should be able to just kill X without rebooting. ctrl + alt +
backspace should do it; you may have to press twice with never
versions of X.

I got X to work. By deleting the drivers mentioned in the hint. The first time 
I tried to compile the driver file I commented out the suggested drivers but 
Xorg -configure just produced a driver not found error. I recompiled the driver 
files with wget.list uncommented and Xorg -configure produced the blank screen. 
Once I deleted the drivers mentioned in the hint every thing worked as it is 
supposed to but the keyboard and mouse. I also had to recompile the kernel 
because I didn't have the proper video driver in the config file. But the 
keyboard doesn't work when I start X. Pressing control alt backspace does 
nothing.--

Xorg -configure

2010-02-24 Thread Carl Thorn 
I have completed installing X on a 6.6 rc1 system following the developmental 
blfs book. After entering the Xorg -configure the screen goes blank as it is 
supposed to. How long to I wait for it to configure? Do I have to do a hard 
reboot or do I wait til the machine does something besides stare back at me 
with a blank screen?

gpm

2010-02-20 Thread Carl Thorn 
I compiled gpm-1.20.6 before reading the hint in the svn version of the book. I 
am using LFS 6.6rc. I was wondering whether the hint still applies to the newer 
versions as it was last updated in 2006. I can't seem to get the mouse to work. 
The hint says I should recompile gpm using --without curses and then 
recompiling ncurses. It also says that gpm won't work with UTF8. This is my 
second attempt with BLFS. The first time I was using LFS 6.1 supplied with the 
livecd and BLFS 6.3. The mouse worked as soon as it was compiled in that 
version.

Just FYI, I find doing something like

   ping -c 2 66.135.59.49

to be a little easier.

As far as your problem with wget, I don't know.  Can you do
   ftp anduin.linuxfromscratch.org
I did this and it works.
log in with anonymous and a null password.


Or try:

   wget ftp://66.135.59.49/BLFS/svn/a/a2ps-4.14.tar.gz.md5sum
And this worked as well. 
So I guess the problem is with the DNS? Should I try a manual entry into 
/etc/resolv.conf?
It's only a few bytes, but it should work and take DNS out of the loop.

Re: wget 1.11.4

2010-02-10 Thread Carl Thorn 
I installed BIND and nslookup returned the value 66.135.59.49

/etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd from eth0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 192.168.1.254
#/etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
"/etc/resolv.conf" 4L, 149c

Should I mess with anything in the /etc/wgetrc file?

Then you have a DNS problem that you need to fix.

You should be able to do:

   nslookup anduin.linuxfromscratch.org

and get 66.135.59.49.

You'll need to have BLFS/BIND Utilities installed.

Also, you might want to post the contents of /etc/resolv.conf.

What exactly is the error.  For instance, try,

   wget ftp://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/svn/b/bc-1.06.tar.gz

as a quick test.  What error message do you get?

> I connect to the internet using dhcpcd -4.0.11.

If ping and dns working, that is not relevant.
