[expert] anyone know where libfreetype.so.6 is ?
Hi, can someone tell me what package contains libfreetype.so.6? The standard freetype rpms only seem to have the static library (.a). I am trying to install the unsupported kde 2.1.1 rpms and get the following errors: [root@Ralph kde-2.1]# rpm -Fvh *.rpm error: failed dependencies: libfreetype.so.6 is needed by kdeadmin-2.1.1-1mdk etc etc ...

Re: [expert] How dost one change from rpm-3.x to rpm-4.x?
I hate to post another non-productive email on this list, but here is an observation of mine: I've been on this list for several months now and i have seen many a person ask this same question (i myself asked it at one point, at least to myself), but i have not seen *ONE* person give definative guidance on how to do this successfully. I STRONGLY recommend (ok so i guess this is a little productive) building a test box (even if it's just another minimal install on a different partition of the same box) and trying it there. That way if/when it all goes to hell, it doesn't take your system with it. And if you figure it out, *please tell us*, i'm sure there are any number of readers, myself included, who would like to know just how to do this. (Can you guess where i'm at?

Re: [expert]OS idenity,Dhcp Eth0 and more!!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: RIPEMD160 RR does give hostnames, via the dhcp process, and they are usually some funky long thing with part of the IP address in it. It should work by simply running netconf, setting the adapter to dhcp, then doing an ifup eth0 (if eth0 is your ethernet card). You can check your config by "cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0". You should see something like: DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO="dhcp" HOSTNAME=cs28144-55.satx.rr.com - what RR assigns as your hostname. DOMAIN=satx.rr.com IPADDR="" NETMASK="" ONBOOT="yes" Look in /etc/sysconfig/network and see something like: NETWORKING=yes GATEWAYDEV="" GATEWAY="" FORWARD_IPV4=no HOSTNAME=guardian.thompson.net I've used RealTek NICs, with no problems. Do you have a link light on your cable modem? Here in San Antonio, RR uses Toshiba PCX1100 modems...is the PC light on? Is the link light on your PC NIC on? Is the ethernet cable premade? It needs to be a "straight-through" cable, versus a cross-over. Remember, you don't have to run dhcpd on your machine; that's for when you want your machine to be a dhcp server.

Re: [expert] Using .rpm files to upgrade from kde 2.0.1 to kde 2.1
Just a heads up. I did the upgrade to kde 2.1 using the RPMs, and had some (minor) bugs (features?) after the install. The two that I remember are: -in konsole, the home and end keys no longer work to move the cursor to the beginning and end of the command line -when you right click in the toolbar and then click on "Settings", nothing happens (whether logged in as user or root). I then installed MandrakeFreq with the same results. I haven't done enough testing with kde 2.1 to know if there are some other problems, but they may exist in both the install from RPMs and in MandrakeFreq.

Yes, you can do an rpm -qa|grep cups and uninstall all of the rpm's that are associated with cups. However, you may end up with some large dependency problems. Another way to do this would be to: "urpme libcups" or "urpme cups" depending what version you are running. However, my suggestion: Can you post here what you do not like about cups and what you are not satisfied with? I am sure someone from Mdk is listening and maybe a problem could be fixed. I am running 8.0-RC1 and am seeing a GREAT improvement in cups that acually makes it usable. Additionally the current KDE CVS now actually talks to cups internally and makes printing from KDE apps really nice.

[expert] No PHP in perl-proxied Apache?
Good evening, glorious masters... I need to set up a development server for WWW application programming using these features with Apache: - PHP - MySQL support - mod_perl - SSL Using Redhat 6.1 everything went fine. But the perl-proxied Apache mod_perl package within Mandrake 7.2 starts to get me mad. I do understand that all mod_perl requests must be URL-prefixed with "/perl". I also can see the requests being proxied to the httpd-perl in the log files. But when it gets to embedded PHP scripts in the HTML source it looks like the httpd-perl can simply not handle PHP. Unfortunately our application handles authentication by a mod_perl module and then wants to show PHP-pregnant pages inside /perl/... which just prints the PHP source code without executing it. Then I tried to include the libphp4.so module manually by inserting "Include conf/addon-modules/php.conf" in the httpd-perl.conf file. But that only lead to the following error message when starting the httpd-perl process: "API module structure `php4_module' in file /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO" I am not involved too deeply into apxs and all that funky Apache features so I don't dare to decipher why that module can be included into the httpd but not into the httpd-perl. But I do see that both httpd and httpd-perl have mod_so.c compiled in so basically it should be possible to include the php4_module even into httpd-perl. Can't I revert to the good old httpd binary that knows all modules without proxying or something? Or is there some kind of workaround? It took me days now to install an Apache package by hand without interfering with the RPM system and that just lead to further problems. What am I missing here? Thanks for your advice.

These build ok and install in /usr/local/. You can then build the rpm.4 source there are a few tricks to this. The first thing you need to do is to feed configure with the paths of the db files on usr local the following script is what I used. LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/lib' CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/include' ./configure check 21 tail -f check Put this in a file in the top rpm-4.0 directory and make it executable then run it. You will also need to do one important hack!!. go to the lib directory in the rpm-4 source tree and open the file db3.c in a text editor. Near the top you will find a line #include db3/db.h change this to #include /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/include/db.h then run make and then make install. With a bit of luck you will have rpm-4 in your /usr/local/bin/ directory. By the way don't bother to try and run the tests they are badly broken. I did hack them a bit and got most of them to pass they are mainly screwed on the paths Redhat must have a slightly different directory structure than Mandrake. The only tests which I know definatelt failed are the two last tests in the popt directory; using a pre-build Mandrake lib for this would probably solve the problem configure or the makefiles would probably have to be hacked to do this. FYI I have tried install the Mandrake cooker RPM-4 binary package with --nodeps I was able to install it and uninstall it. I could not run it fully because I don't have libc-2.2.2. If you have it a simple sybolic link from the /usr/local/Berkely libs to /usr/lib will probably allow it to run alternatively you can change the install dir on the one youv'e compiled and do an install in the proper places.

Re: [expert]OS idenity,Dhcp Eth0 and more!!
THanks for the info guys but still no ,I've tried these but on ifup eth0 I still get Ip info failed..

It should work by simply running netconf, setting the adapter to dhcp, then doing an ifup eth0 (if eth0 is your ethernet card). You can check your config by "cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0". You should see something like: DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO="dhcp" HOSTNAME=cs28144-55.satx.rr.com - what RR assigns as your hostname. DOMAIN=satx.rr.com IPADDR="" NETMASK="" ONBOOT="yes" Look in /etc/sysconfig/network and see something like: NETWORKING=yes GATEWAYDEV="" GATEWAY="" FORWARD_IPV4=no HOSTNAME=guardian.thompson.net I've used RealTek NICs, with no problems. Do you have a link light on your cable modem? Here in San Antonio, RR uses Toshiba PCX1100 modems...is the PC light on? Is the link light on your PC NIC on? Is the ethernet cable premade? It needs to be a "straight-through" cable, versus a cross-over. Remember, you don't have to run dhcpd on your machine; that's for when you want your machine to be a dhcp server. Sorry if I've overstated the obvious: I've been a computer maintenance technician for the Air Force for 18 years, and I've learned that sometimes its the simplest things...

I'm betting they did. Let's pretend that is something like cr934573-a. Then try this on for size: [root@homer john]# dhcpcd -h cr934573-a [root@homer john]# See my last post for details on how to integrate this into your network scripts so that it's done automatically. I hope that helps. j --- phil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Any comments thanks in advance?? When i run ifup eth0 I get an error message unable to get ip info via dhcpcd. I have went thru netconf a dozen times.If i am using dhcp then no need to enter the Ip address or any of the other things DNS etc. Correct? FYI: Linux for Windows (7.2 Mandrake) on a Hp 600mhz ceoron 256mb ram, realtek networkcard trying to get online via Cable modem Road Runner acess. I have read everthing online(well almost) And Tried almost Everything. concerning Road Runner Cable service,Apparently I am not the only Linux user that has tried to get online thru Road Runner? Does anyone know anything about if my eth0 card is Bind to the dhcp,could that be the prob? From what I have read I really think that Road runner would prefer that I stick with Windows. from further reading http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap-fingerprinting-article.html http://www.sans.org/newlook/resources/IDFAQ/TCP_fingerprinting.htm Even though with DHCP the OS should not matter right?IN THEORY. Could Road runner be preventing me from getting online thru there service?THey are able to Idenify Your OS Is Linux considered the Hackers OS? to some people Although that is not my intentions! I enjoy trying to get Linux to run, And after all this Windows Quite boring. I might as well sign up for AOL aargh LOLPS please dont flame me. __ Do You Yahoo!?
