Hello , Since the actual 6.0 Release is taking too long , would you suggest me installing 6.0 RC-1 and then then 6.0 is out , can I just apply some patches , or I should Re-makeworld everything?... And another question , I'm on a PIII 550 with 256MB ram . I have 5.3 and some broken libs .Would you suggest me doing a fresh install , or a make world ? Consider I don't have the experience the second procedure takes , but I've heard both opinions. Should I do a portupgrade -a after the makeworld ?... Thank you George ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OK, great.
Meanwhile, I came closer to the real problem.
You don't need to create the link in /usr/X11R6/lib.
The problem is dlerror(). Whenever one of the
dl-functions is called, it will set the error
indicator in dlerror() in case of problems.
For some unclear reason, the error indicator in
dlerror is set when grace starts-up. I don't
know why yet (I'll discuss that with the grace
mailing list).
When grace uses the dl-functions in src/dlmodule.c,
which is caused by the USE... lines in
gracerc.user, something like this happens:
dlopen(library name, MODE);
if (dlerror() != NULL) {
report_error();
exit(1);
}
Now, dlerror() is set, but not by dlopen(), but
by some other part at start-up. A workaround is
following:
/* reset any possible earlier error */
dlerror();
dlopen(library name, MODE);
if (dlerror() != NULL) {
report_error();
exit(1);
}
When I patch grace with this dummy dlerror(),
prior to the dl-function calls, all works like
a charm (and you don't need the link in
/usr/X11R6/lib anymore).
As I said before, I now have to find out why
grace activates the dlerror() at start-up.
Regards,
Rob.

Re: portupgrade stale dependencies

After clearing out the ports, updating ports (with portsnap) and source, and rebuilding the system and kernel... it seemed the ultimate problem was actually a dependency of the package to apache1.3. After I ran 'pkgdb -F' and fixed this dependency to point to apache2.1, but I still had trouble installing ports. 'portsdb -Uu' would not run, so I ran 'make fetchindex' and 'portupdate -a'. From what I've read, this _should_ create an index and update all out-of-date ports and their dependencies, but it never has worked for me. I just tried this combination again, and it (again) punts during portupdate. This time, 38 ports were skipped and 7 failed, the first failure being a strange compiler error in updating from apache-2.0.48. I've been fighting with ports for long enough now to have become a bit frustrated with them. If you have any thoughts or suggestions on how to troubleshoot them, please pass them on. Thanks, ~John Do not fix dependencies if you're not sure that they are really broken. Don't use apache21 unless 2.0 is absolutely inappropriate. The proper way to change dependencies from apache1 to apache2 is to add WITH_APACHE2=true to /etc/make.conf (or to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, but that's an advanced topic). If you have portsdb utility, don't use make fetchindex, just add -F to portsdb: portsdb -uUF will work fine. You cann add -k to portupgrade, so that it doesn't skip ports (but it won't fix the failed ones). John, you'll have to spend a few hours reading ports documentation before you find them really great (which they really are). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think, that when XOpenDisplay called, ld.so tries load some libraries
from preconfigured paths, and
last unsuccessful attempt is recorded for dlerror().
dlopen() _does not_ reset dlerror() state on sucess, it just returns non
NULL. So you must not check dlerror() for error condition, you need
check return result of dlopen(), and if it is NULL, then you need use
dlerror().
So, code in grace:
dlopen(library name, MODE);
if (dlerror() != NULL) {
report_error();
exit(1);
}
need to be:
handle = dlopen(library name, MODE);
if (handle == NULL) {
report_error(dlerror());
exit(1);
}
just because dlerror() != NULL is not indicator of error.

Re: math/grace port: libXcursor.so.1.0 not found ?? [SOLVED]
Sorry,
I have reread manual page for dlerror() and found that it need clear
error state after call, but
dlerror() in src/libc/gen/dlfcn.c does not do this:
#pragma weak dlerror
const char *
dlerror(void)
{
return sorry;
}
So error is in FreeBSD libc, if I understand this correctly. I'll do PR.

Above code is from src/libc/gen/dlfcn.c, but real dlerror for dynamicaly

So problem is somewhere else. Sorry for false info.

Re: packet forwarding
In the last episode (Oct 27), Yance Kowara said:
What's the difference between
gateway_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf
and
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf
From /etc/rc.d/routing:
case ${gateway_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
echo -n ' IP gateway=YES'
sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 /dev/null
;;
esac
So the answer is: nothing, except that adding the line to sysctl.conf
enables packet forwarding before interfaces are configured and other
network variables are set, so you may get spurious host unreachable
errors from systems trying to route through the box when it boots up.

Invisible print might be a better term; good luck even finding it before committing yourself. More below. home phone pac kage ($24.99 otherwise), free Check out which phone pac that is. I doubt very much if regular phone service is considered to be a home phone pac; I mangaged to find (after considerable searching) their page for ordering non-pac phone service to get a 12.50 basic service (before more than that in various fees and taxes, one which seems to be part of _their_ taxes -- grrr). restrictions may apply. MSN ISP requires agreement to MSN Acceptable Use Policy. Yeah, after considerable searching I found a MSN Subscription Agreement link at http://support.msn.com/ which took me to a member sign-in form. Do you really want to do business with a company that does business like that? So am I right in still thinking that with MSN as the ISP my setup it isn't going to be FreeBSD friendly and that my spiffy little Comcast setup isn't going to work with MSN as the ISP? I can't help you; and I wouldn't help MSN if I could. I know I first bought a (used) modem that was guaranteed to work with Qwest and a non-MSFT ISP, but I later learned that it would only work with Qwest+MSN and had to pay a restocking fee to get most of my money back. Grrr. I found what seems (in about 5 mo) to be a good ISP at opusnet.com . Relatively good contract terms and in actual practice, so far. And about as cheap as they come. Note that _almost_ all ISPs have indemnity clauses whereby you agree to pay their legal and other costs if some third party makes claims against the ISP which involve you in any way, whether or not you've done anything wrong in most such clauses. Another facter is how far away the courthouse and your lawyer would be. Last time I looked, Quest had no indemnity clause for their pure DSL service, but they had one in their ISP contract and, of course, MSN does too. I say of course, but I should note that MSN.net is one of increasingly-few web sites that has no indemnity clause in the site-use contract. Even such open source sites as Slashdot have them these days. I assume the risk of using such sites in read-only mode, but seldom, if ever, post anything to them. BTW, my insurance guy knows of no personal insurance against such indemnity risks. I bought a DSL modem at Fry's for about 10 $ more than Qwest's, mostly because Qwest has given me many reasons to dislike and distrust them and partly because my modem has a 2-yr guarantee. It is a Zoom ADSL X5 and seems to work fine and was easy to configure once I got past some problem that I had with Mozilla not accessing the modem's configuration web forms correctly. (I've already forgotten the cause.) Beware that the Zoom modem package says in big print that it comes with DSL filters and in fine print it says how many it comes with, which I didn't notice was _zero_. Grrr.) With the Zoom modem, at least, you may configure it to run DHCP and give the modem a fixed (eg, 10.something) IP address or run DHCP on whatever you connect to the modem. The Zoom X5 is also a 4-port router, but this one was not wireless like the Qwest modem. Finally, beware that a few weeks ago DSL providers like Qwest got permission (from the US gov) to refuse to do business (after 2005, IIRC) with good ISPs like opusnet.com, so don't be suprised if your choice in 2006 is between Qwest+MSN and Comcast+Comcast.

packages for older 4.x systems
Hello!
I'm trying to install cvsup on an older system: 4.11-RELEASE-p3.
`pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui' fails so I downloaded this file manually:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/net/cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2.tgz
pkg_add fails too:
pkg_add: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts cvsup-[0-9]*'
I tried to install ports/sysutils/pkg_install (that was
pkg_install-20050720.tar.gz),
but it didn't help.
So the question is, how do I pkg_add official binary packages on a
4.11-p3 box?

And to the WR54G the usual network systems of FreeBSD, and misc Windows computers. Not a problem many people on MSN do that. No static IP address, though.

Because XOpenDisplay() causes dlerror() to be set: One of the FreeBSD X libraries is broken, calling an inexisting libXcursor.so.1.0. 2. The FreeBSD dynamic loader is broken, ignoring unresolved references in DLLs both at initialization and run time. So is the libX11.so.6 on FreeBSD (or another) to be blamed? Talk to the xorg maintainers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I suspect there are two problems: the libXcursor.so.1.0.2 reference in the x library, which should not be there, and a bug in xmgrace for not correctly handling dlerror(), as Igor has been explaining. xmgrace should be robust enough to handle the case of some other application having failed to dlopen() something, instead of assuming it has perfect knowledge of the program state.

Re: Window scaling
Do you think that it is possible to modify parameters on the BSD box in order to reach the same transfer rates than the Debian box with only one connection ? I would think there may be options you can pass to the ethernet driver via ifconfig or maybe adjusting net related sysctls. You could try this REDE2SRV# sysctl -h -a | grep 'net.*' That will give you a dump of network related tunable kernel parameters. Other than that, I would need to see a dmesg (or the relevant boot messages for you nic) Hope that helps -- Dan Gonzalez [EMAIL PROTECTED] IM: signulth ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That depends. If you have enough free space left on your harddrive, you could make a new slice, copy /var there, unmount the old /var, and remount the new /var. Another option is to copy everything in /var to another directory on another slice that has enough space, unmount /var and make it a symlink to the new location.

Re: increasing mount size
Hello My /var mount has no more space left. I was wondering if there is some way to increase the size of it without loosing anything? This is a frequent question on the list. There might even be a FAQ on it. You might check. I know I have written numerous responses to essentially the same question. The first thing to do is find out what is using up all the space. In /var, it may well be log files that are outdated and can be thrown away, or stuff stuck in /var/spool that never goes anywhere, or something of that nature. To start checking, go in to that directory and run du(1) cd /var du -sk * Then if you see a directory that seems abnormally large, go in to it and run du again until you get a clearer picture of what is using the space and if it is something you need to keep or can just nuke. Presuming you need to keep enough of the stuff that it won't free up enough space for you, you have two options. One is to get a larger or additional disk.Another is to look for a existing file system that isn't getting much use. If you have enough extra space somewhere else such as in a /junk file system you made way back, just for something to do with extra space, then you can move the biggest consumers of space there and make symlinks.Lets say /var/spool is gobbling scads of space and you want to move it in to /junk Go to /junk and create a directory for it - say var.spool tar stuff up and move it check it for peace of mind make the symlink clean up cd /junk mkdir var.spool cd /var/spool tar cvpf /junk/varspool.tar * cd /junk/var.spool tar xvpf ../varspool.tar Look at stuff to make sure it is cool. cd /var mv spool spool.old ln -s /junk/var.spool spool Check things out some more. At this stage, it should all be working from the copy in /junk/var.spool If you do a cd /var/spool and then a pwd you should see that you are really in /junk/var.spool Then clean up. cd /var rm -rf spool.old cd /junk rm varspool.tar Voila - lots of space now in var and room for spool to grow as well. Note that the way I describe is somewhat due to lack of confidence in stuff. It results in three copies of /var/spool for a short time until you clean up. You could pipe the one tar in to another and it would work fine and leave you with just two copies until cleanup. I also explain it this way, because it is more straightforward to understand. If you add a disk, fdisk, disklabel/bsdlabel and newfs it to get a filesystem, then the process of moving some part of /var there is exactly the same. Only the names (of where you are putting it) change a little. If you add a disk and make a big file system on it just for /var then use dump(8) and restore(8) to move the old /var to the new file system and then just edit /etc/fstab so that the new file system gets mounted as /var instead of the old one. Let's presume your current /var is /dev/da0s1e. Let's also say you created a /dev/da1s1f (amongst possibly others) with lots of room and you want to put /var there. cd / mkdir tmpvar (Could probably use /mnt but I usually mount /dev/da1s1f /tmpvar already have that one tied up elsewhere) cd /tmpvar dump 0af - /var | restore rf - Then edit /etc/fstab so that the previous line: /dev/da0s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 Now looks like: /dev/da1s1f /var ufs rw 2 2 Then you remount /var umount /var mount /var I think you can just domount -u /var Now it will be using the new one and you have some left over space on the old disk (/dev/da0s1e) to decide what to do with. You can use it as scratch space. cd / mkdir scratch mount /dev/da0s1e /scratch Make an /etc/fstab entry that looks like: /dev/da0s1e /scratch ufs rw 2 2 And it will mount on boot. If your current /var is not its own separately mounted filesystem - but really just a part of /root, which is most often the case, then you will not be able to use dump/restore to move stuff. You will need to use tar. But the rest is the same in that you create the new filesystem on the new disk. Then put stuff there like we did with tar above when moving just the /var/spool directory except you move the whole /var instead of just /var/spool. Then make the entry in /etc/fstab. But, before mounting it, rename the old /var and make a new mount point - somewhat like we did above when moving just /var/spool. cd / mv /var /var.old mkdir var mount /dev/da1s1f /var Now you can clean up the old space cd / rm -rf var.old That will automatically return all that space to the /root filesystem. jerry Thanks Eoghan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, ~John Do not fix dependencies if you're not sure that they are really broken. Don't use apache21 unless 2.0 is absolutely inappropriate. The proper way to change dependencies from apache1 to apache2 is to add WITH_APACHE2=true to /etc/make.conf (or to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, but that's an advanced topic). I wasn't really looking to upgrade to apache21, just to update my version (2.0.48) to any more current port, since other ports keep barking about it being out-of-date. I added the WITH_APACHE2=true parameter, but when I try to upgrade my apache port, it seems to still be looking to the wrong version: ...Upgrading 'apache-2.0.48' to 'apache-2.1.4' (www/apache21) This process attempts to build and then consistently fails with the same error, which seems to my untrained eye like a C function error in httpd: ssl_engine_pphrase.c: In function `ssl_pphrase_Handle_CB': ssl_engine_pphrase.c:684: error: `PEM_F_DEF_CALLBACK' undeclared (first use in this function) ssl_engine_pphrase.c:684: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ssl_engine_pphrase.c:684: error: for each function it appears in.) *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache21/work/httpd-2.1.4-alpha/modules/ssl. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache21/work/httpd-2.1.4-alpha/modules/ssl. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache21/work/httpd-2.1.4-alpha/modules. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache21/work/httpd-2.1.4-alpha. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache21/work/httpd-2.1.4-alpha. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache21. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade38050.3 make ** Fix the problem and try again. Apparently, this is an OpenSSL-related bug, and there's a patch availavble for it somewhere ? Is there a way to fix this without applying a patch? If you have portsdb utility, don't use make fetchindex, just add -F to portsdb: portsdb -uUF will work fine. portsdb -uU wasn't working for me for a while, but I finally got it going last night. Kris maintained that I should use make fetchindex instead of portsdb -uU before running portupgrade -a, at least until my package installation dependencies were in better condition, at which time I could resume using portsdb -uU. Problem is, portupgrade -a still isn't working to update all installed packages (most, but not all), regardless of whether it is preceded by portsdb -uU or portupgrade -a. You cann add -k to portupgrade, so that it doesn't skip ports (but it won't fix the failed ones). John, you'll have to spend a few hours reading ports documentation before you find them really great (which they really are). I have no problem with reading as much documentation as I can find. Aside from the handbook (Chapter 4, which is a nice overview) and man pages (which are great for quick and complete reference), what else would you recommend for gaining a more detailed understanding? And I do already agree that the port system is great, even with all the trouble I'm having.

When a whole bunch of ports stop working, I find this is the easiest thing to do. The other thing I do is run a cron job every week that updates, via cvsup, the ports tree. About once a year I perform the above, mostly to clean out the crap. Re-downloading your entire ports tree will be quicker if you don't use the ports-all tag and actually define which port segments you are interested in. For example, there's no real reason to download all the x11/kde/gnome crap if you're doing this on a headless server that isn't going to serve X. HTH Replacing /usr/ports won't fix his problems, they reside in /var/db/pkg. I may be a bit biased but I reaaly think John D. should try running portmanager -u (ports/sysutils/portmanager). Stale dependencies is a non issue for portmanager. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Apache::DBI Problems
I'm having some major issues with perl site I'm trying to get working. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 stable using Apache 2.0.55 and perl 5.8.7. The error I'm getting is: Can't locate object method connect_on_init via package Apache::DBI (perhaps you forgot to load Apache::DBI?) I do have LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so PerlModule Apache::DBI in my httpd.conf file. I'm pretty new to perl and have no idea what I've done wrong. Any help would greatly be appreciated. If you need more info from me, don't hesitate to ask. Maybe you should inspect the Perl script you're trying to run, and you should look for the following Perl statement: use Apache::DBI; I think it's also good to read the documentation for the Apache::DBI module in CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/~pgollucci/Apache-DBI-0.9901/DBI.pm You could also try to add PerlModule Apache::DBI # this comes before all other modules using DBI to start.pl. You should pay attention to the comment!!! THIS MODULE SHOULD BE LOADED BEFORE ALL OTHER MODULES USING DBI. What can you do next if you had configured everything correctly and the Perl scripts are OK? Maybe you just dont't have the Apache::DBI module installed on your machine, and you should download it and install it then: % perl -MCPAN -e shell install Apache::DBI Best Regards, CASIUS ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(I have simplified this code snippet a bit, for
this example; also, grace uses Motif for its GUI).
Before the XOpenDisplay() call, dlerror() does
not have the error-indicator set, but after
that call, it has.
I wrote simple program to test XOpenDisplay +
dlopen:
#include X11/Xlib.h
#include dlfcn.h
#include stdio.h
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Display *d;
void *handle;
void *f;
char *err;
if ((err=dlerror()) != NULL) {
fprintf(stderr,dlerror: %s\n,
err);
exit(1);
}
d = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
if (d == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, Error in
XOpenDisplay\n);
exit(1);
}
if ((err=dlerror()) != NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, dlerror: %s\n,
err);
exit(1);
}
XCloseDisplay(d);
handle = dlopen(argv[1], RTLD_NOW);
if (handle == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, dlopen: %s\n,
dlerror());
exit(1);
}
f = dlsym(handle, argv[2]);
if (f == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, dlsym: %s\n,
dlerror());
exit(1);
}
dlclose(handle);
}
Compile it with
gcc -o t t.c -I /usr/X11R6/include -L /usr/X11R6/lib
-lX11
Then test with:
./t /usr/lib/libm.so pow
Then
./t /usr/lib/libm.so pow33
dlsym: Undefined symbol pow33
So as you can see on my system all looks good. Try
it on your system.
First:
NULL return from dlsym() does not always imply an
error. dlsym() can return NULL because it has an
empty list, but this does not set the error
indicator of dlerror(), because it is not an error.
However, if an error occurs, dlsym() has NULL as
a return (that's probably most sensible return).
Second:
I get different output than you, from this part
of the program:
d = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
if (d == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, Error in XOpenDisplay\n);
exit(1);
}
if ((err=(char *)dlerror()) != NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, dlerror: %s\n, err);
exit(1);
}
I get here:
dlerror: Shared object nss_dns.so.1 not found,
required by t
So apparently dlerror() is set by XOpenDisplay().
Hmmmyesterday I updated my world and kernel
to most recent 5-Stable, and after that I
recompiled all my ports. Still get this problem!

Does that cause any problems?
