[Fink-users] From A Broken Gnome
Hello, somewhere along the way I've messed up my gnome desktop. I can launch a gnome-session in xnest and run gnome apps individually rootless - the basics are all working. But there are no applications listed in the gnome-panel application menu and no associations with files on the gnome desktop. I've tried removing all the gnome stuff from my home folder, but I can't convice gnome to start afresh it seems. How can I get gnome to treat my account as though I've never run it before and start up fresh? -- adrinux (aka Adrian Simmons) http://adrinux.perlucida.com e-mail mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] AOL/Yahoo IM: perlucida, Microsoft: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

What is the recommended way to start apache2 in Tiger?
Well, here's what I did, after reading a tip on Wincent Colaiuta's site:
http://wincent.com/a/knowledge-base/archives/2005/05/keeping_subvers.php
Lines with a - at the begining are my notes, watch out for word wrap on long
lines:
- create a startupitem by copying the 1.3 version and modifying
sudo cp -R /System/Library/StartupItems/Apache /Library/StartupItems/Apache2
sudo mv /Library/StartupItems/Apache2/Apache
/Library/StartupItems/Apache2/Apache2
sudo nano /Library/StartupItems/Apache2/Apache2
- modify the content to match this:
#!/bin/sh
##
# Apache2 HTTP Server
##
. /etc/rc.common
StartService ()
{
if [ ${WEBSERVER2:=-NO-} = -YES- ]; then
echo Starting Apache2 web server
/sw/sbin/apachectl start
fi
}
StopService ()
{
echo Stopping Apache2 web server
/sw/sbin/apachectl stop
}
RestartService ()
{
if [ ${WEBSERVER2:=-NO-} = -YES- ]; then
echo Restarting Apache2 web server
/sw/sbin/apachectl restart
else
StopService
fi
}
RunService $1
- modify hostconfig:
sudo nano /etc/hostconfig
- add a line:
WEBSERVER2=-YES-
sudo nano /Library/StartupItems/Apache2/StartupParameters.plist
- content should be:
{
Description = Apache2 web server;
Provides= (Apache2 Server);
Uses= (Disks, NFS);
}
- should now work on restart

Re: [Fink-users] Perl upgrade
Mark Moorcroft wrote: Can someone point me at a brief synopsis of the pitfalls of installing the Fink perl 5.8.4 on Panther? My personal experience has been fine - though of course fink installs it's perl in /sw rather than replacing the Apple installed version. My experience in the past has been that perl is so married to the OS it was never worth the headache of upgrading. You wouldn't really be upgrading, just installing a second version... Are most things going to keep right on using the old perl Yes. and if so is it even worth it? Is there something you want to install that needs a more recent version? Is CPAN a better way to accomplish the upgrade? No, i think you're right, it's best not to meddle with the Apple installed perl, because it is tied into the OS.

[Fink-users] SVN, Apache2 and ViewCVS
Hello Has anyone got ViewCVS working with fink installed svn and apache2? I had it working a week and a half ago, but it now seems to have broken giving version mismatch errors. I'm using the cvs version of ViewCVS. Basically if I edit the viewcvs.cgi script to point to /sw/bin/python it gives a version mismatch (ditto /sw/bin/python2.3), if I point it to apple's /usr/bin/python (also a 2.3) the version is fine but python can't find the swig svn bindings for obvious reasons.

I can also start up X11, start gnome-settings-daemon manually (spews errors but works), and then start the apps and they pick up the prefs fine too.

[Fink-users] Gimp-2.0, gnome-2 and the case of the non-sticky prefs
Hello, I'm finding the default text size in Menu's etc in gimp-2.0 too small. I've tried cahnging the gnome theme, and gnome font preferences, with success, but those changes don't survive restarting X11. I'm now playing with tweaking the default Gimp Theme, which will hopefully stick better. But in general it seems anything I change in gnome-2 prefs/gtk etc isn't sticking, although it works for that session. I even started up a full gnome-session, and saved settings before logout but my changes were still lost. I have vague memories of someone mentioning permissions in ~/ but can't find the message in the list archive.

It turns out OpenOffice looks for libfreetype in /usr/X11R6/lib, so there is no need to symlink it in /usr/local/lib, it also appears that installing Apple's X11 and Fink plus a few apps (gnucash, gnumeric) is sufficient to have libfreetype in /usr/X11R6/lib, though I'm not sure which actually installs freetype there.

I'm thinking of taking a look at the OSX version of OpenOffice, since I'm already using fink with Apple's X11 there should be no conflict there.

[Fink-users] sharing fink between multiple machines
Hello, I'm finally getting around to sorting out OS X on my old G3, trying to install a few packages through fink. Since I don't have a lot of space on the G3 I set it up to search the /sw/src directory on my G4 for downloaded source. This works nicely, saves some space for me and bandwidth for everyone. But the G3 still takes an age to compile anything. I'm thinking of mounting the G4's /sw/fink/deb in place of the one on the G3. Is this a feasible way to share pre-built packages between machines? Anything else I'd need to do? Will the G3 simply look into /sw/fink/deb and see that a package exists or is the fact that a package has been built stored somewhere? thanks Adrian --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users

I'm a bit out of the loop, having spent the last 4 years getting into web design instead of doing molecular biology, but from what I can see such a freeware progam doesn't currently exist. I've had a bit of a look at some packages available through Fink, notably Emboss, but this doesn't do what I've described above. Well, Emboss does do multiple alignments, and it does allow you to edit them using Jemboss. And it also can display the ABI trace. It may not be a slick interface but you could manually display the trace and then look at your alignment. This is pretty much what I was doing last I did any sequencing, using ABI Seqed, older and quite poor ABI software but it was the best available to me. Any help would be much appreciated. I think there would be an overwhelming demand for such an open source program since most of the downstream processing can be done for free by quite good software At the moment it seems Emboss/Jemboss is the best bet, maybe you need to talk to the people building it, submit a feature request, whatever. It seems to me they could easily add the functionality you need, a button/script combination in the Jemboss multiple sequence editor that opened up the requisit ABI trace in abiview would be a good start. I just can't believe that people without access to commercial software resort to editing electropherograms by hand from printouts of the ABI files to get the sequences in the first place. Well, for many people the time the spend learning to use the software is better spent just getting the job done (in their view). Given the pace of change in these technologies they're probably right, the next time they come to do it it'll be new software. Plenty of people will also have access to comercial software ABI, GCG (doesn't GCG do what you're asking these days?) etc. This was always the case in the university labs I studied/worked in.

[Fink-users] curl can't get qt
Just trying to install a few packages, one of which - arts - requires qt (3?) but curl can't get hold of it.

Re: [Fink-users] Xdarwin through fink vs. through Xfree86, andusing xfce?

That sounds about right. But given the XDarwin crashes, I thought maybe there was something wrong with the dmg version I used, so I tried fink install xfree86-rootless today. fink's xfree86-rootless has a dependency on xfree86-base, I doubt it would be possible/safe to mix and match osxgnu and fink packages, for one thing the fink version is installed in an entirely different place in your system. My second question is: (2) Does it make any sense for me to be trying to install XDarwin via fink when I already have the binaries via osxgnu? Well, not if X is working - but then you're having problems, so maybe it is. I have looked at the Fink X11 documentation, but I'm still not totally clear about how these distributions differ from each other. One of the main things to grasp is that they install in physically different locations. Fink creates it's own /sw folder at the root level ( / ) of your drive and places things within the Apple installed system as little as possible, whilst AFAIK osxgnu just uses the standard BSD/OSX directories like /usr/bin, /usr/local. osxgnu's documentation seems to be non existent. If so, then (3): what am I doing wrong in trying to install xfree86-rootless via fink? xfree86-rootless has a dependency on xfree86-base, xfree86-base and rootless have a conflict with system-xfree86. Try 'fink remove system-xfree86' before 'fink install xfree86-rootless' - but you probably need to uninstall the osxgnu stuff first to be safe. I'd be very grateful for any help. Rooted XDarwin is very good, but rootless XDarwin with virtual desktops (xfce or dtwm) is amazing, if I could get it to not crash! Well, fink installed Xfree and WindowMaker work fine as far as I can tell, use the clip to create new workspaces and move between them. -- Adrian e-mail mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site http://www.cubitum.co.uk NS/AOL and Yahoo Instant Message ID adrianatcubitum ICQ 116419539 ___ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users

Re: [Fink-users] Xfree86_4.2 dylibs
dyld: ./dino-0.8.4.darwin-XFree4.2 can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libXm.1.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) This basically means that the software can't find the library. I've been having similar problems myself. From my (I'm not a programmer) reading of the dyld man pages it seems to be that the location of shared libraries is hard wired at compilation time, so yes fixing it would seem to require major change to the code and recompilation. However it seems dyld also searches a standard set of directories for libraries, and you can modify what is searched by setting the environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. But man dyld also reveals you can set DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH, which adds to the end of the search path. Personally I'm a bit confused about what to use - presumably if you do this in terminal: setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /sw/lib It will allow your unix progs to find the libs installed by fink. But it will also mean that any of the OS X unix progs search /sw/lib before the normal places, which could cause confusion if you have different versions of the same libs installed. It seems to me that doing : setenv DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH /sw/lib would be a safer solution. So I'd suggest adding that line to your .cshrc David. As for me I think I need to use this to get my CUPS install to start by itself - it has a startup item and so should launch when the system starts, but where should I put setenv DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH /sw/lib? Also, do you know whether these problems a part of the change from xfree86_4.1 - 4.2 upgrade, or might they be due to the fact that I had not used Fink for my (previous) xfree86_4.1 installation? Definitely the latter I'd say, it'd dyld's job to find the shared libraries the application program needs to link too, because they are now installed in a different place - /sw instead of /usr - and /sw isn't in dyld's standard search path, so it can't find them. I hope all that is right ;) PS Are you getting accelerated openGL in dino now David? -- Adrian e-mail mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site http://www.cubitum.co.uk NS/AOL Instant Message ID adrianatcubitum ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
