Fwd: ORBit not upgrading
Ok. So this is not just an upgrade issue, I can't build it on a fresh
install on another m/c either. Any fixes/workarounds? Is anyone aware of
this issue?
I'm afraid I'm not experienced enough to work this out- unless someone
can explain what the check is?
Cheers

I have a wee problem... :) I've been naughty because I've been
working on other things and I was going to simply rebuild this m/c
when I got the chance anyway. Unfortunately I've run into a problem
where I need to upgrade because I've found a bug in php 5.3.2 which is
killing me. So I've run an upgrade at a rather late date, and
alswell... except ORBit is not behaving.
I've checked UPDATING and looked into the Makefiles, but for the life
of me I can't fathom what the hell is going on. It is running thru the
checks and stalls completely here:
...
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c -o root
-g wheel
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether gmake sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking for gcc... cc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for executable suffix...
checking for object suffix... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether cc accepts -g... yes
checking for strerror in -lcposix... no
checking for gcc... (cached) cc
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... (cached) yes
checking whether cc accepts -g... (cached) yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... cpp
checking if C preprocessor likes IDL... yes
checking if C preprocessor can read from stdin... yes
checking how to ignore standard include path...
Huh? Any reason it'd be looking for a non standard include path?
Whats the hold up?
Now this is ORBit-0.5.17_5, and I don't think a manual reinstall
would make much difference. But WTF? Any Ideas?
As for the php error: anybody have trouble with preg_match and the
subject string being a variable? If I manually put the contents in as
the subject it works, but it won't read out of the variable. I'm
actually exec something and the variable holds the output (and yes, it
does work, and the variable holds the info right- just ran a print on
the variable) but the stupid thing is sending me bald and I can't
register a bug before an upgrade.
Cheers

But I have used Samba with softupdates for years and never experienced any problem which might be related to such a combination. While it exists the possibility of flaky controller/driver bug I would look towards a hardware situation first. First thing I'd do is get a bootable CD with the drive manufacturer's diagnostics on it. Western Digital has a bootable .iso you can download if it happens to be a WD. Do the destructive write all zeros comprehensive test and look for any errors, particularly surface defects. I do this with any used drive before using it again. Oh yeah - swap in a new cable first. Plug it in and out several times to scratch through any thin film layer of corrosion which may have formed on the copper. RAID controller and a so-called Green drive? They are very prone to falling offline, as per: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1397 Most of the time you can get away with running a desktop drive on a RAID controller and not have problems, but the potential exists. In lieu of this, you could also install smartmontools and look at the drive with various smartctl tests. I take numbers from smart testing with a grain of salt. I generally see them as an additional data point rather than trying to split hairs into a conclusion. The thing you would be trying to discern here is if the bad sector remap area has filled. When this happens the drive can no longer hide bad sectors from the OS. I'd bet it's something simple like a bad cable.

Fwd: FBSD 8 php 52 extensions dependency on X11 ???

Many thanks in advance, -- Alejandro Imass Either use WITHOUT_X11=yes in your make line, or have WITHOUT_X11=yes in your /etc/make.conf file beofre you run the make command. Can't help you with generating correct dependency list though. Thanks for the tip. The ming extension was in fact the culprit. Now I'm guessing there must be a way to recursively analyze dependencies! Anyway, IMHO the comment on the ming module should state clearly that it requires a complete X server. Granted though, I shouldn't have selected that extension anyway, I did by mistake, so maybe if I knew what it was it would have been obvious, who knows... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Why do you use a devil as a mascot?
2010/11/11 José Silveira jmlsilve...@gmail.com Why do you use a devil as a mascot? For me it is nonsense... It makes Christians, Jwishes and Muslins run away! Jose, So many have replied already and I truthfully haven't read each post. I did want to say something about this though since I am a Christian. Early on I was a little troubled. However, this was due, not to some tennent of the faith but rather to my ignorance of my own faith and immaturity. The reality is, that mascot for FreeBSD has nothing whatsoever to do with Satan.

a gmirror disappears after adding gjournals to its partitions
Is there something wrong with this sequence, in Fixit: * create a mirror * partition it with disklabel * create journals on the partitions * install * reboot? After rebooting, the mirror had disappeared and the journals seemed to exist directly on partitions of the mirror's provider rather than on the mirror itself. Details: Using Fixit# from the 8.1-RELEASE memstick I defined a gmirror (initially containing only one provider; the other to be added later), partitioned it using disklabel, added a journal to each of the partitions, ran newfs -J on them, and installed FreeBSD using http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror as a guide (with a few differences due to this installation being UFS rather than ZFS). In Fixit the /dev tree contained entries for both the mirror and the journal devices, but when I rebooted the mirror did not show up -- even though geom_mirror.ko was loaded. What would cause this sort of mixup, and how do I fix it? Is any more info needed? contents of /dev/mirror before creating the journals Fixit# ls -la /dev/mirror total 1 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root 0 512 Nov 14 00:17 . dr-xr-xr-x 9 root 0 512 Nov 14 00:11 .. crw-r- 1 root operator0, 80 Nov 14 00:36 gm0 crw-r- 1 root operator0, 126 Nov 14 00:36 gm0a crw-r- 1 root operator0, 128 Nov 14 00:36 gm0d crw-r- 1 root operator0, 129 Nov 14 00:36 gm0e corresponding disklabel report Fixit# disklabel /dev/mirror/gm0 # /dev/mirror/gm0: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 8388608 164.2BSD 1024 819216 c: 6199075170unused0 0 d: 25165824 83886244.2BSD0 0 0 e: 586353069 335544484.2BSD0 0 0 journal creation, with resulting dmesg reports Fixit# gjournal label -s 2G /dev/mirror/gm0a GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 1098378706: mirror/gm0a contains data.
