Peter I've been using glibc 2.3 with Red Hat 8.0 and everything seems to be working fine here though I don't know what they are doing for their work around. I've been recompiling their source rpms and up until last night they were compiling fine though now I'm getting some recloc errors. The reason I was interested glibc 2.3 is due to the fact it is supposed to support prelinking for c++ apps to provide faster startup times for KDE apps. My experience so far has been disappointing. KDE in MDK 9.0 is just as fast.

First is the struct statfs problem. We are the only distro with this problem. We have two different definitions of struct statfs. Any compilation that includes both definitions fails. Mjpegtools is one and dvr is another. I understand what the problem is, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Can someone help me... /usr/include/asm/statfs.h:12: redefinition of `struct statfs' /usr/include/bits/statfs.h:26: previous definition of `struct statfs' Secondly, some video4linux headers give this exist but cannot be compiled error. checking linux/videodev2.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: linux/videodev2.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: linux/videodev2.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: linux/videodev2.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result checking for linux/videodev2.h... yes This happens when trying to compile v4lgrab. In file included from ../../src/v4lgrab.h:103, from list.cpp:2: /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:36: syntax error before `;' token /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:54: '__u32' is used as a type, but is not defined as a type. I compared our version of /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h to the original source code at ftp://ftp.thedirks.org/pub/v4l2/kernel2.4/videodevX/videodevX-20020330.tgz and in fact we are missing SEVERAL lines including: #define linux/types.h where (not surprisingly), __u32 is defined as a type. So, how does code magically disappear from our headers, where does it go, and how can I fix it? I'm trying to package a bunch of new video apps for Mandrake, and it's hard when they don't even compile. There must be at least ONE more person who cares about these problems... :-) Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.

Excellent! cyrus-imapd-2.1.9-5mdk.src.rpm --- Your release notes say that you removed the deliver-wrapper from the package. Is it /usr/lib/cyrus/deliver you are refering to a wrapper aound that program? You can't do this. People use the deliver mechanism. Regardless of the instructions in README.RPM on how to configure Postfix to deliver mail to cyrus, some of us are not completely comfortable with that having Postfix hand the mail off to Cyrus directly. Personally, I deliver mail from Postfix to procmail and have procmail deliver it to cyrus with /usr/lib/cyrus/deliver. Procmail provides much better filtering/filing support than sieve. Can you please clarify what it was that you removed? Regardless, thanx for the updated packages! b. -- Brian J. Murrell msg79989/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
[Cooker] sasl v2
When will Mandrake be upgrading all of their uses of sasl v1 to v2? It is becoming more and more difficult to support a mixed enviroment of sasl v1 and v2 as they are not re-entrant. When you have an application chain that involved both v1 and v2, they pollute each other's data space. The quintessential example is trying to use Cyrus IMAPD (which requires sasl v2) with LDAP (which is linked with sasl v1) on Mandrake Linux. It just does not work because of the re-entrancy problems. It is worth noting that sasl v1 is no longer being developed and all new work is going into v2. b. -- Brian J. Murrell msg79990/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

[Cooker] Compact Flash USB 1.0 Reader (Datafab) probs
Mandrake 9, Intel (P3 550) I have a Datafab MDCFSM-B-USB Compact flash reader It reports itself as being USB 1.0 (as opposed to 1.1) I have great difficulty convincing it to mount my compact flash card reliably. Sometimes, it mounts straight off the bat, other times, I reboot, unplug and re-plug the CF reader. Any ideas or suggestions on a method I could follow that might give me more reliable results? The CF entry in /etc/fstab is as follows (single line of course):- =-=- none /mnt/cf supermount dev=/dev/sda1,fs=vfat,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,codepage=850,quiet 0 0 =-=- Additionally, I am completely confused, every now and then, the following entry appears in the /etc/fstab all by itself. =-=-=- /dev/sda1 /mnt/memory_card auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,exec 0 0 =-=-=- If I do not have a CF in the reader on boot, it disappears and does not come back (automatically). It strikes me as being something to do with Hotplug. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. ...Lyall PS.

If you're using mandrake9 you'll find a acpi patched kernel at: http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~quintela/acpi/ My HP OB500 works fine with apm (at least for bettery status) but since 9.0 it freezes when waking up. I'll try this acpi kernel (an acpi hand-patched kernel made the computer freeze just when loading kernel then it got very hot and the fan did't start...). I've also got issues with apm on my laptop (and could never get acpi to work correctly...)

The problems I'm having are: battery doesn't show up with APM (same as last post more than likely ACPI related.) When I halt the system, it will not power down, requiring me to manually shut it off with the Fn + power button. Finally, if I reboot, it locks up after reboot at the Compaq BIOS screen. This part I'm thinking is that the BIOS is trying to find values that it expects at reboot that just aren't there so it hangs.
