I have no idea if that would make any difference; however, I never use sudo when running portmanager myself. Also, you probably have portsclean installed. Clean out your /usr/ports/distfiles directory and then run: portsclean -CLP Prior to running portmanger. It cannot hurt and it might fix something.

Hal, policykit, dbus slowed down system after portupgrade
Hello, Currently running FBSD 7-stable, I had this on my rc.conf to enable dbus and hal: dbus_enable=YES polkitd_enable=YES hald_enable=YES and after updating my ports using portupgrade my x started acting up, another words it just started running very slow, for example if I typed a commnad on a terminal window it takes about 20 seconds for me to see what I typed, moving windows from one side to the other makes them freeze for a while and if they move they maximize and minimize again, strange things. So I suspected that it had to do with these daemons so I disabled them and the system works ok. I wanted enabled though, what can I do to find the real culprid and try to fix it? One thing I can't see anymore is the polkit starting anymore nor when I run the top command, I see hal and dbus but not polkit.

I'm using tcsh. There are two ways to set up alternate places to find libraries. The first is ldconfig, and you can see ports run this when you install a port containing shared libraries for example. The other is to use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to set alternate paths at run-time. Well, that might be taken as confusing, even though your info is technically quite correct. Both those methods WILL get those added dirs searched for loading the libraries at run time, BUT it will NOT get your compiler to find the new paths, when linking the program during the build. I'm fairly sure that's what the person wanted, don't you think so? Because, if I'm wrong, you can delete this email right here and now, read no more. BUT you were quite correct, there are definitely *at least* two methods to set up your *compiler* library search paths. In fact, I think I can show you 3 methods right now. First, you can list the full path of the library on the command line, when you use your compiler to link your program. ] Second, you can (as the person suggested himself) you can use the -l/-L options to bring in libraries paths. The -L should come first, it adds the path, and the -l afterwards adds the specific library. The 3rd method is the use the variables LDFLAGS and LDADD. These variables are NOT 100% reliable to use, although they are fairly reliable on BSD systems. The LDFLAGS is where you put your -LExtraPath and the LDADD is where you stick the -lExtraLibrary, like this (from a Makefile example): LDFLAGS+=-L/usr/local LDFLAGS+=-lgtk If you are using the BSD make util, the you use += to add to your variables, instead of replacing them, in case they had some values in them to begin with. Make automatically adds in the obvious spaces, so your definitions don't have a train wreck for you. The 'ldconfig(1)' man page has more info for you. Take care, mdh After searching quite a bit I found someone looking for same thing running tcsh (not freebsd) and the solution was running or adding these lines to .cshrc. setenv C_INCLUDE_PATH /usr/local/include setenv LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib this did the trick for gcc ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: How do I add search paths to gcc

I'm using tcsh. There are two ways to set up alternate places to find libraries. The first is ldconfig, and you can see ports run this when you install a port containing shared libraries for example. The other is to use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to set alternate paths at run-time. Well, that might be taken as confusing, even though your info is technically quite correct. Both those methods WILL get those added dirs searched for loading the libraries at run time, BUT it will NOT get your compiler to find the new paths, when linking the program during the build. I'm fairly sure that's what the person wanted, don't you think so? Because, if I'm wrong, you can delete this email right here and now, read no more. BUT you were quite correct, there are definitely *at least* two methods to set up your *compiler* library search paths. In fact, I think I can show you 3 methods right now. First, you can list the full path of the library on the command line, when you use your compiler to link your program. ] Second, you can (as the person suggested himself) you can use the -l/-L options to bring in libraries paths. The -L should come first, it adds the path, and the -l afterwards adds the specific library. The 3rd method is the use the variables LDFLAGS and LDADD. These variables are NOT 100% reliable to use, although they are fairly reliable on BSD systems. The LDFLAGS is where you put your -LExtraPath and the LDADD is where you stick the -lExtraLibrary, like this (from a Makefile example): LDFLAGS+=-L/usr/local LDFLAGS+=-lgtk If you are using the BSD make util, the you use += to add to your variables, instead of replacing them, in case they had some values in them to begin with. Make automatically adds in the obvious spaces, so your definitions don't have a train wreck for you. The 'ldconfig(1)' man page has more info for you. Take care, mdh Here's what the book I'm reading says: The search paths for header files and libraries can also be controlled through environment variables in the shell. These may be set automatically for each session using the appropriate login file, such as \u2018.bash_profile\u2019 in the case of GNU Bash. Additional directories can be added to the include path using the environment variable C_INCLUDE_PATH (for C header files) or CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH (for C++ header files). For example, the following commands will add \u2018/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/include\u2019 to the include path when compiling C programs: $ C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/include $ export C_INCLUDE_PATH and similarly for C++ programs: $ CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/include $ export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH This directory will be searched after any directories specified on the command line with the option -I, and before the standard default directories (such as \u2018/usr/local/include\u2019 and \u2018/usr/include\u2019). The shell command export is needed to make the environment variable available to programs outside the shell itself, such as the compiler--it is only needed once for each variable in each shell session, and can also be set in the appropriate login file.(8) Similarly, additional directories can be added to the link path using the environment variable LIBRARY_PATH. For example, the following commands will add \u2018/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/lib\u2019 to the link path: $ LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/lib $ export LIBRARY_PATH This directory will be searched after any directories specified on the command line with the option -L, and before the standard default directories (such as \u2018/usr/local/lib\u2019 and \u2018/usr/lib\u2019). With the environment variable settings given above the program \u2018dbmain.c\u2019 can be compiled without the -I and -L options, $ gcc -Wall dbmain.c -lgdbm --x Now it looks like I can achieve what I want if I use bash, it looks like the export variable does the trick by making these paths available to external programs like gcc so basically I was trying to achieve this with the csh

I cant find it in the handbook how to's. Im I missing something? Thanks... If you are using the portupgrade tools you can use pkg_deinstall linux-flashplugin if not use make deinstall or pkg_delete but you have to specify the registered name in /var/db/pkg/ just run pkg_info pkg_info | grep linux-flashplugin and it should give you the registered name. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Gcc and make not producing executable
Hello,
I'm trying to get my feet wet in programming in C and the first thing I'm doing
is reading a book called an Introduction to GCC. I'm running Fbsd 7-stable I
have Gcc44 installed.
Example in the book is 3 files named main.c, hello_fn.c and hello.h:
File main.c with the following code:
#include hello.h
int
main (void)
{
hello (world);
return 0;
}
File hello_fn.c with the following code:
#include stdio.h
#include hello.h
void
hello (const char * name)
{
printf (Hello, %s!\n, name);
}
and hello.h with the following code:
void hello (const char * name);
Objective is to create a makefile which will create an executable named main.
The books has this code in the Makefile:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-Wall
main: main.o hello_fn.o
clean:
rm -f main main.o hello_fn.o
The book says this should create two object files named main.o and hello_fn.o
plus an executable named main. But the last is not created! Does it have to
do with make version? or is the book outdated (2005)
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/gcc/intro/
or you can the section that I'm referring to here:
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro/gccintro_16.html
By the way I can create the executable using gcc -Wall main.c hello_fn.c -o main
so it's not a gcc problem I don't think.
