build emacs - Xaw3d.8 problem

2005-01-01 Thread Hugh Ekeberg
Friends
While doing a compile of Emacs-21.3, the build process ended with the 
following error:

===   emacs-21.3_3 depends on executable: gmake - found
===   emacs-21.3_3 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/autoconf213 - found
===   emacs-21.3_3 depends on shared library: Xaw3d.8 - not found
===Verifying install for Xaw3d.8 in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/Xaw3d
===   Returning to build of emacs-21.3_3
Error: shared library Xaw3d.8 does not exist
*** Error code 1
This has also happened to me while trying to compile Xfig  
Plugger-Plugins-Hubbe.
The Zaw3d libraries are installed and a file shows a number of 
references to *xaw3d* but not to Xaw3d.8
For example:

/usr/ports/distfiles/Xaw3d-1.5.tar.gz
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.7
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.a
/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Xaw3d
/var/db/pkg/Xaw3d-1.5
I can't find any references to this problem in the archives or the web.
Does anyone have any ideas? If I installed Xfig  Emacs as a package 
over FTP, would that process interfere with my existing libraries?

Re: bsd book

 Hi!
 I need help concerning free-bsd literature:

 Two books seem to be interesting (the complete freebsd,
 absolute bsd) but although I had a look at both I'm not quite
 sure which one to buy.
 What I want is a deep bsd-specific guide covering mostly freebsd related
 topic such as the kernel, system administration and of
 course as much networking as possible.
 I want to avoid paying for a 100-pages introduction to c-shell or
 bash (with wich I'm now familiar with) or a man-page like overview
 of the basic unix commands (ls and cd are under control now!).
 So which one of the two books would you recommend.
 If both are ok: what's the difference?

 Thanks a lot
 Florian




I own The Complete FreeBSD, but a keep going back to the Handbook for most 
of my information. I find The Complete FreeBSD a little too general for my 
needs.

The operating-system specific books don't go into networking too deeply. I 
thoroughly recommend :TCP/IP Network Administration to set up your FreeBSD 
networks, servers and routers. The TCP/IP book explains differences for 
FreeBSD as well as Red Hat, Solaris and others.

Re: Custom Kernel

2004-11-27 Thread Hugh Ekeberg
I'm bit of a newbe myself and had the same problems. Finally I decided NOT to 
comment out those options in my copy of the GENERIC file which related to 
hardware options I don't have.

So if you have been commenting out all those hardware options in the kernel 
configuration file for hardware you don't have, then open a fresh copy of 
GENERIC and leave those options as they are.

So basically I left my copy of GENERIC alone, changing the first part only;

The original looks like this:

# $FreeBSD: src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v 1.420 2004/11/02 20:57:19 andre Exp $

machine  i386
#cpu  I486_CPU
#cpu  I586_CPU
#cpu  I686_CPU
ident   GENERIC

My copy looks like this:

# $FreeBSD: src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v 1.420 2004/11/02 20:57:19 andre Exp $

machine  i386
#cpu  I486_CPU
#cpu  I586_CPU
cpu  I686_CPU
ident  MY_COPY_CALL _IT_WHAT_EVER



I added some extra options related to sound and graphics and later I add some 
more once I feel more comfortable with FreeBSD.

Hi Everyone,
As a rank newbie I have been trying to install a custom kernel, and
have attempted to follow the directions in the handbook.  But I just
can't get the thing to make.  The handbook also says that it is okay
to send the configuration file to this list for analysis.
Nevertheless I thought that it would be a good idea to ask first.   I
would appreciate it if someone would let me know how I should handle
this.
Thanks in advance.

Re: photoshop

2004-10-27 Thread Hugh Ekeberg

In the graphic design business, it's important for designers  artists to 
share work in progress, so different applications need to import propriety  
format to complete the task and render the final image or animation for the 
Internet.

 If I'm understanding this right -- then of course, both editors (gimp

 good in the Real World (TM) to use crazy proprietary formats because
 browsers/etc simply can't render them.

Re: Printer Configuration

2004-10-25 Thread Hugh Ekeberg

I got impatient wading through the chapter on print setup in the handbook and 
found a very straight forward procedure after reading an article on 
www.onlamp.com about apsfilter.

The setup for my LaserJet 5L was very clean and easy. The article is at:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/11/06/Big_Scary_Daemons.html

I can't help you with your dmesg.boot output.

Re: photoshop

2004-10-25 Thread Hugh Ekeberg

The important thing I personally need with Photoshop is layers and running 
effects over those layers. This sort of controll is also found in Gimp.

However you gotta realize that Adobe is backed by more money, bigger staff, 
etc so their product has become more powerfull.

Having said that, Gimp is pretty powerfull in its own right and will probably 
do what you want.

Check out http://www.gimp.org/
The spec sheet is at: http://www.gimp.org/about/introduction.html

Why not give it a spin?

Re: FreeBSD 5.3 RC1 X Config

2004-10-23 Thread Hugh Ekeberg
I found the same thing with this release. I never found the configuration 
utilities in other versions of BSD's sysinstall to work for me anyway.

In my opinion it is much better to follow the instructions in the release of 
the handbook which comes with FreeBSD-5.3 and set up X by hand.


On Sun, 24 Oct 2004 13:06, David Findlay wrote:
 I am a first time user of FreeBSD. I burned copies of the 5.3 RC1
 install disks 1 and 2.
 I booted from the 1st disk and went through the standard install,
 selecting All packages.
 The handbook says there is a configuration option for the X server but
 it never gets to this for me, nor can I find it from the sysinstall
 menu anywhere. Thinking I'd done something wrong I ran the install
 again and the same thing happened. In each case the standard install
 does be base copies then lets you pick yuor distribution, and I pick
 all,then it ask for some config like the mouse, ttys, timezone, users,
 root password. Finally it asks if I'd like to go back the config menu
 to make some final changes. Once I say yes I am back in the
 configuration menu and there's no way out that doesn't just exit
 sysinstall, which may be where it would go if I'd said no.

 So I have a bootable FreeBSD system with X and KDE packages installed
 but not configured. Am I supposed to go run xorgconfig by hand from a
 regular shell afterwards? This asks for monitor vsync etc like the old
 linux ones did; the newer ones let you pick your monitor by name - I
 was hoping the X configuration I can't find in sysinstall would do
 this too.

 Also, if I do the xorgconfig, how do I configure it to run KDE on top of X?

 Any tips greatly appreciated.
 Thanks,
 Dave
