recompiling the debian kernel..getting wierd messege.
Newbie quetion here - I just tried following the tutorial on how to compile a debian kernel - http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian It worked great - till i had to initialize with the new kernel...I keep getting these messeges: Waiting 16 seconds for /*sys/block/sdb/sdb1/dev* to show up. /bin/cat: /*sys/block/ sdb/sdb1/dev*: *No such file or directory*. *Device* /* sys/block/sdb/sdb1/dev does anyone have an idea ??? i have 3 harddrives. the boot drive has Vista and the second drive has debian - i have not setup the 3rd drive yet. they all are SATA drives. thanks mjh *

xmgrace, wxmaxima, recompiling once more
Hi again Now I have verified that both xmgrace and wxmaxima do not work as they are downloaded from the Debian server but after beeing recompiled they work perfectly. Is anyone willing to try to install grace 5.1.20 . When printing a plot it will fail with something similar to *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x00d5d0f0 *** Aborted After recompiling the package it works perfectly The same applies to wxmaxima. Both maxima and wxmaxima need to be recompiled and reinstalled. I have filed bug reports but I am wondering if the compilation procedure in Debian is not appropriate. I am not a programmer but an unintelligent guess tells me that a program that works only after recompiling is not buggy.

Recompiling
Hi Now I had the problem that wxmaxima did not work for me until I recompiled the Debian source package (both maxima and wxmaxima). Now it works charmingly. A few months ago some guy was complaining about the grace program. That crashed as well for me until I recompiled it. Yesterday I could not install subversion-tools (or was it some dependency that couldn't be solved) but the source package compiled and installed perfectly (this was in fact solved with a new version this morning). Am I the only one having these problems? My guess is that some underlying libraries change without the packages being recompiled. Is there some way to fix this or am I misunderstanding something. That has happened before:) Regards Gudjon Ps. I try to make bug reports when I can. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Basically, you can just download the following text file: http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64/wanna-build/db/wanna-build.status.unstable.amd64 and grep that file for the words 'broken', 'dep-wait', 'needs-porting' or 'failed' and you will get the names of the source packages from 'sid' which are currently not available in the pure64 archive.

If you have a patch for a package which has not been ported to amd64 yet then please post that patch to this mailing list (and possibly also to the Debian Bug Tracking System). The patched package can then be tested and eventually be uploaded to the amd64 archive on alioth. However, more than 97% of all Debian packages are already available from that archive.

Mh, I'd say that for every package where this works, this has been done already, so you can just apt-get those from alioth. Unfortunately, there are some packages that won't compile without source code modifications (like when the author used an int to store a pointer instead of a long).

recompiling for amd64?
, I've searched on debian site with no usefull link nor info... There is somewhere an howto to port debian packages from i386 to amd64? A simple "apt-get source -b namepackage" (launched on installed amd64) is sufficient? Regards, Sythos -- Signature under costruction
