Kernel Compile Error

2004-10-13 Thread John Gilger
I am trying to compile the benh_2.6 kernel from mvista.com on my Debian 
Ti PowerBook.


Running "make-kpkg --revision benh2.6 kernel-image" returns this error:
*** 2.6 kernels  no longer buildcorrectly with old versions of binutils.
*** Please upgrade your binutils to 2.12.1 or newer

I have the following installed:
binutils (ld) = 2.15
GCC = 3.3.5
make = 3.80
util-linux = 2.12

Google and the archives haven't turned up anything.

Has anyone else had/solved this problem?

TIA

APT Error

2004-10-11 Thread John Gilger

Trying to run "apt-get update" gives the following errors:

E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occurred while processing python-f2py (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList 
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-powerpc_Packages

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

This is a decent explanation of the error(s), but I haven't the foggiest 
idea regarding how to fix it.


Can any of you gurus help out?

TIA

To add a twist to the Java plugin thread, is the Java 1.4 SDK or JRE 
available anywhere for PPC?

META key on Ti PowerBook

2002-07-26 Thread John Gilger

The answer is probably obvious, but I guess I'm oblivious.

I'm trying to use emacs -- a difficult task without a META key.

Neither the option nor the Apple keys work for this in Debian or OS X. 
This is strange since emacs is available in both OSs.


Any Mac emacs gurus want to provide some META enlightenment for this 
rock?


TIA :)

John

Right-click on a Ti PowerBook G4

2002-07-03 Thread John Gilger

Forgive what may be a dumb question, but...

How do I get the trackpad to perform a right-click?

The OS X method of Option+Click doesn't translate to Debian ;(

Modem configuration on Ti PowerBook G4

2002-07-03 Thread John Gilger
I recently did a network install of Woody on a Ti PowerBook G4 -- 
congrats to the install team, it was slick and easy.


I am trying to setup a modem to use when a dialup is the only available 
connection to the 'net. Wvdial is configured similar to my i386 box and 
seems to work OK up to a point -- It finds the modem and sends the init 
string (generated by wvdialconf), but it doesn't dial out. it kind of 
acts like a Winmodem.


Any advice/assistance will be appreciated :)

Learning this Apple hardware is a new challenge ;)
